Dubble D Reachin‘ Out

Danny Ward (Dubble D) knows drums. From the crisp four-on-the-floor disco on "Super Hi" to jazzy, brushed breaks on "Big Fish" to the swinging, rim-shot driven "Switch," with Flora Purim working her vocal magic, Dubble D flexes the skills he‘s honed during well over a decade of session drumming. Not surprisingly, he‘s made a few friends during his career, and many of them show up for this album-Nightmares on Wax, Canadian singer Kate Rogers, and hip-hoppers Qball and Curt Cazal all do their thing on this solid debut, which takes in all styles of groove.
