M3 Drummer Comments On IOMMI/HUGHES Sessions

October 25, 2004

M3 drummer Jimmy Copley (ex-PAUL RODGERS, GILLAN, BECK) has issued the following update regarding his recent collaboration with Tony Iommi (BLACK SABBATH) and Glenn Hughes (ex-DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH) on the "The 1996 DEP Sessions" CD:

"I can't tell you how great it is to work with Tony and Glenn. I was blown away with the power and energy they produce. Tony's manager, Ralph, called me to say they needed to re-record the drums and as I was going off to Russia with M3 we only had a couple of days to do it. I went to Tony's studio on a Wednesday and it went so well we finished the whole thing by lunchtime on Friday. Which was just as well as I left for Russia on Saturday. I used Cozy's [Powell] old recording kit with a 26" Kick, a really big warm sound, and my old 67 Ludwig Snare (the old faithful)! It's great playing to completed tracks, hearing Glenn's vocals/bass and Tony's guitar coming back at you; you can't help but be inspired. So we just went track after track, just me and Mike Exeter (engineer) and Tony would come in and say 'Yeah' or 'Can you try this?' or 'Do you fancy a bit of pork pie?' We had so much Stilton and pork pie that I called it the Pork Pie Project. All in all great music, great people. What more could you want? By the way, a special thanks to Mike Clement (Tony's tech) and a true gent."
