I was already familiar with Tito and was a bit shocked that Patton was so musically diverse, and that he surrounded himself with musicians of the same mindset. That inspired me. I have had ideas that I\u2019ve recorded on cassette over the years, but Patton kept insisting that I had to do a \u2018drum album.\u2019 So, the idea behind the album is years in the making. I just had to find the right time &#8211; for me &#8211; to do it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dave began working on the album at a time when touring was not possible. He says.&nbsp;<em>\u201cI immediately started working on the record. It was one of the greatest experiences I\u2019ve ever had. I had my studio, all my drums. Nothing was in storage for once! My home became a place where I could be free and creative. On the one hand, the touring part of my livelihood had been taken away, but on the other, I finally had the time to educate myself on different software and recording techniques. It was a very educational and gratifying experience.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recording process of the film score-like album had a simple mantra: drums had to be drums.
