WHITE ROOM - CREAM (Cover by M.A.W.) feat. HEARTPETE on drums
Peter and I have known each other for ages and I had the pleasure of playing in a rock band with him in the early 80s. Unfortunately, our musical paths parted after 2 years. But we've stayed in touch to this day. Like me, Peter is now retired and has more time for music and thanks to the multimedia possibilities we don't need to meet in a studio but can communicate via Internet. I suggested that he accompany me on the drums for this song. He agreed without hesitation. I am pleased that he accepted my invitation for several reasons. Firstly, to play with a great musician again after more than 40 years. Secondly, there is something organic, not only to this song, when a living person beats the drum instead of generating the accompaniment from the soud pool. This is especially important in this piece, as the intro and bridges are in 5/4 beat, while the verses and chorus are in 4/4 beat.
