Upper Room Music is a multi-track/overdub home studio. Contact Scott Swatzell at upper_room_music@hotmail.com
In addition to that well, ummmm… I love to play the drums (recording and performance), song-write/arrange/produce. Am blessed with a wonderful family and blessed along many other avenues as well. I enjoy spending time w/the fam doing sports, music, church, caulking, etc…
Due to a recent move and career change, ‘upper room music’ has been relegated physically to ‘middle level guest-room closet’ (see pics). However, in the near future (hopefully by mid-summer ‘08) we’ll be back functioning, possibly as ‘grease monkey music’.
My influences regarding drums and my particular style (no particular order): Peter Criss, Dave Grohl, Liberty Devitto, Kenny Aronoff , Steve Smith, Alex Van Halen, Stewart Copeland, Dan Needham (had the great fortune to meet Dan at a session, great guy!), Stanton Moore, Rick Allen, Chad Smith, Kelly Keagy….Influences regarding drums in general, Steve Gadd, Zoro, Terry Bozzio, Mike Johnson, Derico Watson, John Bonham, Buddy Rich, Louie Belson, Dave Wekyl, Carter Beauford, Russ Miller. Influencesr regarding music in general, all of those mentioned under ‘Band Members’, Dave Grohl, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, KISS, NSYNC (come on, I’m kidding…), John Mayer, Keith Urban, Charlie Dodrill, Fray, Blues Traveler, Cold Play, Dave Mathews, Medeski, Martin and Wood, Jack Johnson, Johnny Cash, Michael Hedges, Sheryl Crowe, Elvis, the Police, Stanton Moore, REM, Eagles, Aerosmith, Green Day, of course the Beatles. Regarding life in general…my awesome parents, my wonderful wife, my fantastic kids, all of my great friends, the Chuckster(38), and of course Jesus Christ…

Thank you, Scott! Really nice and mellow remix! Nice guitar work, and beautifully warm sax playing. The bass in a track, especially a Mariah track, is always a very important element in terms of its motion and rhythm, and I think you've created a great bass line for the song! Nicely done, my friend! =) - Spikey
No probs mate. Just pasing on my honest opinion :o) Good luck in the contest guys.
