Jams from the past, starts pretty chill. “The BirthdaySong” (not THAT birthday song) written in memory of a friend who passed away in high school. Stories from high school – tool and cigarettes.

Solid drumming and great guitar and vocals. One of thebetter recordings of this song. Shout out to the old St. John’s class of 2007. Does smoking ADHD meds do anything?

A very peaceful jam. Finding the groove. Talking about drumheads. How long has Remo been around? BW Derge and Nick Ring complain aboutstock footage and streaming services.

20 years of jamming together, few actual songs written, noband name (yet?) – but 100s of recorded jams. So we’re talking about them on the podcast. All rights reserved.

Listening to a jam that has been published on the YouTubechannel already. (LINK) Talking guitar effects, how drumming is like skateboarding…in video games, and how much recording quality matters with music.

Talking shit about the band Tool and how fans booed theband in Mexico. Perhaps some technical issues were going on backstage? CanadianCowboy was one of the first jams they did that sounded good.

• Guitars make mind-blowing noises
• Starts with a drum solo

• The bluesy shit we like
• Simple blues that feels good
• Gets a bit swerved.. or sloppy, whichever.
• Emotionally poetic jam music
• Locked in lo-fi two instruments
• 2019 Single Material Music (Jammi Jam)
• Tool repeated setlist in Mexico
• Is it a big deal, worth booing?
• Danny Carey and Maynard are humans
• The follow-ups are coming, next episode!

BW Derge on Drums, Nick Ring on Guitar – your hosts forthe jam notes podcast. Reacting to an old improvised instrumental music jam.

Talking strategy like… keeping eyes open and head up whileon the drums. Transitions will make or break a jam. Bouncing a ball like the Tool song Reflection. Nick likes ‘em long… songs that is.

· Different types of drumming… swimming,breathing… drowning?

· Heads up – this might become a podcast aboutbaseball (just kidding)

Talking about music we played on February 28, 2023. Thisepisode is about listening – Crank It Up. We’re talking Miyazaki movie settings (not America).

True crime ASMR, right? Anything that makes a tiny sound,I guess. Hit the middle school brain hard (nu metal). This jam has vibes of a hero; someone with a purpose. Hero enters the wastelands…

Talking some music theory – loops with different notes atdifferent times with wizards and demons. Mufasa (this is CNN)… Maybe fighting isn’t the way. Send your ideas for podcast segments…

• · The jam note is “Awesome”
• · Deftones, maybe Radiohead
• · Remember the band Orgy?
• · Congrats to Nick and Hannah (marriage stuff)
• · Taking time with this one (nice)
• · A wizard or something…
• · Don’t mess around if the demon is watching.

BW Derge on Drums and Nick Ring on Guitars. Simple, cleanbeginning makes it easier to get weird and more complex. First jam is like a soundtrack to a spy movie… there’s always a boat to save James Bond.

Second jam was less than minute. Remember bikes? Remember playing video games without the internet on Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. Get your own stars in Mario 64.

• · Clean sounding guitar
• · No loops or distortion – nice and raw
• · Heavy on the bass drum
• · Isn’t everything to the East?
• · Weird ending, but very good.
• · Best song yet on the podcast?
• · Ends with chaotic 1-minute song
• · Flowery and weird
• · Random as hell, but spaghetti.
