Bruce Gary - Drum Vocabulary

Note:  Sampling of drum hits and loops has become popular in professional and home recording studios.  By sampling the performances of a world class musician, their stylings can be added to any song.  In 1995, Cydonia released the Bruce Gary Drum Vocabulary, Vol. 1.  This sampling package contains over 580 drum loops and hits with the unmistakable Bruce Gary sound.

Veruca Salt - My Sharona

Note:  Veruca Salt's 1995 single "Victrola" includes a cover of "My Sharona".  This unauthorized cover was recorded and mixed by Doug McBride at Gravity, Chicago.  This version employs a different hook and vocal styling than The Knack classic.
