Joey Kramer
(September 2003 Issue)
Loop This Way Aerosmith's Joey Kramer has a new endeavor. It's called
Aerosmith's Joey Kramer'drum Loops And Samples, which is fairly self-explanatory, except that Kramer says
there are some special features.
"There are two CDs," Joey says. "One was recorded dry and the other wet
[ambient -
with room mic's]. On the dry one, you can add your own effects
to it. There about four hundred fifty drum beats or loops.
About
twenty-five of them are Aerosmith-related, and the rest of them are
just me. A lot of the beats have different variations
so that they can
be used for different parts in a song.
"What I think sets this apart from what's already on the
market,"
Kramer continues, "is instead of just being one bar of every loop, I
put enough on there so a bit of a swing is
established. There's enough
so that it feels good, like a real human being. Also, the way it's
recorded, it can go
right to a record. We purposely didn't master it,
so that if it's used on a record, it can be mastered with the record.
I
really think this is a tool for anyone from a kid making demos in his
bedroom to a hip-hop producer to a drummer who wants
to learn new
beats."
As for Joey's main gig, Aerosmith, the band has been back in the studio
recently, working
on a "back to the roots" album. The band is also on
the road this summer, co-headlining with
KISS.
