TATE BERKEY
Touring & Recording Drummer/Teacher

This is my favorite track from Pages second self titled album, released in 1981, featuring the great Vinnie Colaiuta on drums. His drum part fits perfectly with the arrangement and has been a great study for me in regards to playing fills that compliment the rhythmic figures throughout. I love the linear phrases that he plays during the ride out and they were a fun challenge to figure out. Enjoy!

I had a lot of fun coming up with the drum part for this single recently released by my good friend Kat Tracey. To me it felt like a pop punk meets 80s rock vibe, so I tried to get some bigger sounds with this recording custom kit, while also getting a lower dead snare sound which was on the original demo I was sent. Enjoy and stay tuned for more original music!

Finally, the first single from Philadelphia based pop funk band, Cash Only, is here! I am so proud of the work this band has put into our music, and I couldn't be happier with how my drum part turned out for this tune. Be sure to add and stream it wherever you listen to music! More to come!
