New Music Video

Hey Friends!

I made a music video, and I’d really love for you to check it out! 😎🐼

Some more info for those interested…

Since I had no videos for any songs from my 2011 album “Lindsay’s Song” I thought it would be fun to finally make one, and also to get some video making ‘practice’ for new music yet to be released. ‘Broken’ was the song that I had the most compelling vision for, and also a vision that I could fulfill within a super tight budget ➡️ 🆓😜
This song is definitely a ’snapshot in time’ (it was written way back in 2004) and I can’t imagine I’d write a tune quite like this again, but I had SO much fun making a video for it. Attempting to tell a visual story that fit with the music really inspired me creatively in a way that I didn’t quite expect. I definitely plan to do more, no matter how amateur the result may be.
I’m very lucky this song features some stellar guitar playing by Noel Johnston, and some equally stellar bass playing by James Driscoll. It was also wonderfully recorded, mixed and produced by Erik Herbst (and he also played many additional guitar parts!) at The Panhandle House Recording Studios in Denton, TX.

I welcome any feedback!
thanks a bunch for listening, and for your support 👍🙏🧡

ps – I know many people come here for drum charts, but I’ve just been so busy with gigs and recordings I have not updated those in a while. I do plan to add more! Thanks for your patience.

Charts Charts Charts!

Hey Friends. I added a few more drum charts, as I think most of the visitors I get here are coming for those, so I will try to update it more regularly! I wish I had time to chart everything I play, but I generally just do the songs I’m not so familiar with that I need to learn for gigs. I currently have 124 charts on the page, so lets see where I’m at by the end of year. Can I make it to 200? Let’s see 😄. I really appreciate the people who have donated (link is at the bottom of the drum charts page). Your kindness is much appreciated, and I do hope I am saving drummers some time.

I have a bunch of public gigs coming up in Vancouver during the summer and jazz festival season, so please like or follow my facebook page if you want to know about these. I don’t have a calendar here on the site unfortunately, but I do post on facebook when I have public shows. You can always catch me at the Pat’s Pub vocal jam the last Monday of each month too.

I am still practicing as much as I can, both drumming and singing, and I hope to release some new music to the world soon. Please follow my instagram or youtube if you are interested in this. 😎

2019

Hey friends, welcome to my website!

I’ve made a few updates to the website recently, in particular I’ve refreshed the gear page of equipment I use while drum tracking for clients (some great new Coles 4038 Ribbon microphones added, plus a bunch of other cool drum gear), and also to my drum charts page which can be a handy resource for drummers needing last minute charts on a gig. 😎

While I still perform mainly at private events, I do have a lot of public shows coming up at local Vancouver venues like Frankies Jazz Club and at the Blue Frog out in White Rock. For the latest info please ‘like’ or follow my facebook page as I don’t use a calendar on this site for my performances.

Aside from singing and playing drums with various local artists, in some cool news for me I am working on a bunch of original music again and I plan to have some new releases this year. I’m really excited about this and look forward to sharing the results with you. 😀

thanks for stopping by, and please follow me on instagram or twitter if you use those sites! ❤️JoFo

Production and Online Drum Tracking

I am happy to announce that the Adam Robert Thomas album I produced is now available! It was a pleasure working with all of the fine musicians involved, and I think together we created a really special album. You can see/hear it on bandcamp below, or you can also check it out on Apple Music or Spotify.

I am still playing a lot of jazz and pop gigs locally (mostly private events sorry!), however I’m focusing my energy more on my ‘online’ drum recording services that I provide for people. Here is the first in a series of videos where I share some of the equipment I use.

You can learn more on my Drum Tracking page.

Thanks for stopping by! As always please visit my facebook page for updates on my local public gigs, and/or visit my instagram to see what I’m up to.
