You know what's funny Des?
The original Texas Vipers didn't have a drummer!
It was a recording project and we used a drum machine that resembled a Synsonics drum pad, only cheaper, remember those from the 80's? Eventually, we used the drum patches from my Korg M-1 keyboard. No sequencing, I triggered the drums from the keys and played the rythyms in real time.....I don't even think we used a click track.

You can already begin to see how amazing this sounded can't ya.....;)

TME (Tommy Emersnake) I believe was the only drummer to perform those tunes live. Sort of like The Doors not having a live bass player, but having one in the studio, only different, but the same but different.

Where were you when we needed you Kev?

Oh man, 2nd album was my pride and joy!
I always told you "Snake Waltz" was a hit.
Oh man, the Keybass! Sound City Keybass!
Had 19 keys, almost 2 octaves and sounded like a B-17 bomber. Bought it for $35.00 at that music store across from Harrington Liquors in Chelmsford Center....what was that store called?? Ahh, it's killing me now....right at the end of that looooong strip mall with a thousand little stores.

Ugh! I can't believe I forgot the name, someone help me!!!

Anyway, that keybass is long gone Tex.
