Over the years I've been asked repeatedly to add sound-bites to the website. Which is to say some form of digitally recorded representation of what a Tempus (and, equally valuable, a Milestone) drum sounds like. Technology now makes it possible to do exactly that - and it's been suggested quite sensibly that, for example, I could present photos of kits where, upon clicking on the image of the 10" tom tom, you could hear a 10" tom tom over your computer speakers... But I have a major phobia against the entire notion - I'm not at all sure that the drums could be fairly heard that way. So, I propose an alternative which, while perhaps a tad more complicated and labour intensive, would be a whole lot more honest... I'm going to begin compiling a list of albums on which both Milestone and Tempus kits have been recorded. This could well run to hundreds of titles, I know, but there are some extraordinarily fine representations of my gear lurking around out there; I'd much rather have you listen to those recordings - the visions of a good many highly respectable players, engineers and producers - than anything I could plug in to the site for you. And, indeed, this can still be interactive. Almost. There's a very strong possibility that I don't know of all the recordings that have featured these drums over the past twenty-eight years, and it's also possible that I might inadvertently add a title which, courtesy of my own ignorance, doesn't actually contain my drums at all... so you're most welcome to offer up titles which do and point out titles which don't feature funny smelling Western Canadian plastic acoustic membranophones. That having been said, here's the start of the (ever-expanding) list:
