Steve Smith – Don’t Stop Believin’ - Sonor Vintage Kit
In September 2024, I spent an evening at The Clubhouse in Rhinebeck, NY recording to some Vital Information tracks and playing some unaccompanied drum solos to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of Sonor Drums. Enjoy Manuel Valera's arrangement of “Don’t Stop Believin’” (Perry, Cain, Schon) from the Steve Smith & Vital Information album New Perspective. Manuel Valera on keyboards and Janek Gwizdala on bass.
