The music on the iSound player below is some other stuff I did. I played drums on Coney Island Heyday. The other two tunes I did all the music on (using a Korg Triton keyboard and stuff) except the "vocals". Nathan is my son and Normal was just some kid that walked into my drum studio with his vocal tracks. - Russ
