David Ramos "Pulse (Myopathic Scubacop Remix)"

• Words: Bryant Rutledge
• Label: Fake Four

Named one of Modern Drummer magazine's Top 10 Progressive Drummers of Today, hip-hop/experimental artist David Ramos has a musical resume that includes everything from performing with folk outfits to making beats for the likes of Busdriver and Aceyalone. His forthcoming debut album, This Up Here, showcases his multi-instrumentalist capabilities, with an army of synths, acoustic guitars, glockenspiels, keyboards, and "shitty drum machines" bouncing off one another. And of course, what's an album these days without a little remix treatment? Here, Ramos' brother Ceschi chops up the drum beats and adds some ambience to the original track.
