Nospūn - The Death of Simpson (Paul Wood One-Take Drum Playthrough)

One-take playthrough of "The Death of Simpson" by Nospūn

For this playthrough, it was important to Paul that it be done in one take. He really wanted to capture a moment in time, warts and all, rather than go for a perfect video compiled from different takes. And there are indeed a few warts: James and Cole are both visible in frame throughout the video, the foot cam was shaky (which we didn't find out until after we finished), and James' phone stopped filming about two minutes before the end of the song. Plus, the drum audio is 100% live, recorded in Paul's practice shed (which is not the most ideal space, acoustically). But we decided to lean into the imperfections, and we love the result! We hope that you do too.
