Description: Illegal Radio is my first record as a leader. I recorded the song Phone Home. I used (3) three sticks. Two sticks playing the continuous up and down 16th/32nd note high hat pattern with a mandolin roll. I used one stick to play the two and four backbeat on the snare drum and floor tom. Since this 1984 recording, I abandoned using the ‘Mandolin Roll’ as I’ve developed a better mousetrap for playing 16th notes. This was very early in my Q4T playing. I was happy to pull it off.
