27 takes give or take, several mock-ups including one very aggressive and later abandoned tempo map (take 13) and in total 240 min total of repeated drum takes, all to just arrive at what you are hearing, which is really just the start. I could have settled for #13 and almost did but in the “acting on your highest excitement” principal it’s ok to admit it’s fun to keep going back to the drawing board as many times as you need to get something really great. Looking forward to getting vocals on these new songs soon and releasing them by years end 🙏
