Greer Lambert is available to drum on your next project. Highly recommended. He’s got an incredible ear for detail and his playing perfectly complements artists’ songs and vision.🧨

This is Greer’s set up for Gage’s sessions, referenced in a previous reel.

Recorded at Sound State! 🌴
Really nice ballad that leads into funky, psychedelic guitar work near the end.

🎛️Overdrives, Fuzz, Distortion, Delay, Compression, Phaser/Chorus, Wah, Looper, Tube Reverb.

Experimenting with these analog effect pedals on instruments other than guitar, like vocals and saxophone.

A lot of indie and psychedelic artists like Tame Impala use fuzz pedals on the bass which is a cool sound as well.

The Strokes recorded vocals through a distortion pedal into a small tube guitar amp with the speaker mic’d up.

Have you thought about using creative recording techniques to achieve a unique sound or to match the vision of the song in your head?🧨

Kiddus I x Rippah Shreddahs
Sound State x Jamaica
Drops 1/29!

Dreams can come true. For the past 20 years the 'Rockers' movie has been one of my all-time favorites. One of the actors/singers in the movie is the legendary Kiddus I.

It has been a true honor and privilege to work with him on a track called 'Start of Something New.' This song has critically important messages that align well with the theme of our 'Education Heals Nations' album.

Grateful for for the creation of the track and to for the mixing and mastering. My vocals were recorded in here in Morgantown.

Everyone be sure to follow and support as he has some really incredible work coming out soon.

We are releasing this collaboration on Friday 1/26. You all are going to love this one.
