		<title>Ableton LIVE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been sequencing music off and on since the Commordore 64 using Passport Mastertracks Pro (yeah, I&#8217;m showing my age). I use Reason and MOTU&#8217;s DP7 now, and the same basic principles apply. I get it. No problem. Then I hear about this program called LIVE several years ago. Hmmm. Sounds interesting. I&#8217;ve seen some (<a href="http://www.jefffriend.com/drummer/ableton-live/ableton-live/">Read more...</a>)]]></description>

		<title>Acoustic Blues Band in Dayton</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I returned to playing drums again after 20+ years of writing and producing, I decided that what I really wanted to do was play in a blues band. Well, I&#8217;m happy to report five years later (and several Classic Rock bands later) that I&#8217;m finally playing in a Dayton Blues Band &#8211; Sticky Reed (<a href="http://www.jefffriend.com/drummer/dayton-bands/acoustic-blues-in-dayton/">Read more...</a>)]]></description>

		<title>Vanilla Fudge Keeps Me Hangin&#8217; On</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been sitting in with a local classic rock band while their drummer is out, and one of the songs they are working on is Vanilla Fudge&#8216;s &#8220;Keep Me Hangin&#8217; On.&#8221; At first I thought this is a fairly straight-forward song. It was always one of my favorites as I was growing up. Straight-forward, except (<a href="http://www.jefffriend.com/drummer/great-drummers/vanilla-fudge-keeps-me-hangin-on/">Read more...</a>)]]></description>

		<title>Low-volume Drumset&#8230; an Oxymoron (kind of).</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK. First and foremost, I will admit, I am a hard-hitter. And my drums are LOUD (that is an understatement)! It can tend to be a problem on occasion, especially on the low volume gigs in small spaces. So&#8230; I&#8217;m on a new mission&#8230;I&#8217;m going to put together a drum kit that is naturally a (<a href="http://www.jefffriend.com/drummer/drum-gear/low-volume-drumset/">Read more...</a>)]]></description>

		<title>Chad Wackerman with Allen Holdsworth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night a very good friend took me to see Allen Holdsworth at Gillys (thank you David!). I will admit to not really knowing much about him, although I&#8217;d heard his playing for years and just didn&#8217;t know it. The real reason for going to the show was to see Chad Wackerman. Again, I didn&#8217;t (<a href="http://www.jefffriend.com/drummer/uncategorized/chad-wackerman-with-allen-holdsworth/">Read more...</a>)]]></description>

		<title>Everything in it&#8217;s place&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So the classic rock band I play in just did two weekends of outdoor shows, and it really drove home how important getting the drums in the perfect (comfortable) position is. The first gig was relatively easy. We had 15 or 20 minutes to get setup after the previous band, but we were the last (<a href="http://www.jefffriend.com/drummer/dayton-bands/everything-in-its-place/">Read more...</a>)]]></description>

		<title>Lyrics and Setlists on the iPad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m an Apple fan (always have been). When the iPad was announced, there was no question&#8230;I had to have one! Ever since that day, I&#8217;ve been looking for an easy way to use it to display lyrics and setlists. Today I found it&#8230; the Setlist app by IndianCode. This is a great app for musicians.

		<title>Recent Dayton Recording Project with Mark Lieberman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you know, I&#8217;ve spent my share of time in recording studios, usually behind the console. But recently I&#8217;ve had the opportunity to work on the other side of the glass playing drums, and I&#8217;ve got to tell you, it was a blast! Guitarist, writer, and engineer Mark Lieberman contacted me a few months ago and (<a href="http://www.jefffriend.com/drummer/dayton-bands/recent-dayton-recording-project-with-mark-lieberman/">Read more...</a>)]]></description>

		<title>Dream Cymbals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve always been a Zildjian cymbals guy. Yeah, I&#8217;ve owned some of the other major brands in my day, but I always come back to Zildjian for some reason. But there some buzz going around these days about Dream Cymbals and how they sound like the old jazz cymbals (think K Constanoples).
