Решил создать-таки темку, куда можно кидать разные реплики нашего любимого драммера =)
Ведь он единственный, кто имеет свой сайт, страницу на майспейсе и вообще "выходит на связь"

Hello everybody!
It's been awhile since I've been active online. Life has the tendency to throw things your way and they seem to have taken me away from updating my website! As you can see I have a new site, thanks to my friend Paul @ Nettune. I'm very happy with the results and I am trying to get as much content as I can on here sooner then later. Please join my RSS feed if you want to hear of all the updates in news and new postings. I will try my best to take as many pictures as possible and tell you what is happening in my world.
Speaking of what's been happening....we've recorded a new album! We spent the summer with Mutt Lang, and it was an intense period. The deadline came a little quicker then we all anticipated and there wasn't a lot of time to mess around. I'd love to hear what you all think of the new tunes so please comment on my guestbook. I got off easy being the drummer, I finished my tracks first, poor Chad was stuck in the studio for a record length of time. He needs a vacation!
It was a surprising twist that we had to stop recording the new album to go support the last album in Europe! There's a bit of a delay occurring with the last album in Europe, but better late than never right?! It was a little nerve wracking to not play live for a year and then play for 10,000 people, but within minutes it was like I was back home again. I think all the guys felt that. The first couple of shows you work out the kinks, and then it's business as usual. I know that we're all looking forward to a new show, new songs, new tricks. The last tour went so long (thank goodness) but it's time for a change.
During the same time my other band Martone has released a new album. We are very proud of this CD. We have some great guests: Greg Howe, Billy Sheehan, Jennifer Batton, Joe Satriani. Ric Fierabracci. And of course Dave Martone and Dave Spidel play their butts off on the album! Please check out the discography section to hear some new tunes and hopefully you'll buy the album! We also released a DVD of our live performance at the 2007 Montreal Drum Festival. This is a raw recording, straight from the board, no editing at all with the audio and the live feed from the cameras. It's the real deal, check it out!
An album I recorded with artist James Hart and singer/songwriter/producer Zac Maloy in Dec 2007 will be released in Jan '09 on a Warner Records affiliate label. Keep your eye open for it, there's some fantastic songs on there!
We're in the middle of all the pre-cycle work at the moment, press, video shoots, commercials, TV performances. I'm looking forward to getting back out there on the road and trying some new things.
Now that this is up and running, I'll try my best to keep you up to date! Thanks for tuning in, and we'll see you down the road!
Daniel
