(( I'll be sharing more photos and videos from my tour with #FlotsamandJetsam )) If you look closely I'm throwing a pair of #drumsticks into the crowd; I'm right above the left crash cymbal. Another interesting fact is that the kit is one of #IanPaice 's old drumsets that the festival purchased. #kenkmary #kenmary #drums #Wacken #wacken2017 #wackenfestival #alicecooper #metallica #megadeth

⬅️Swipe left for more photos ⬅️ Wacken, Germany 🇩🇪 What a craaaazzy festival. They pretty much build a small city's worth of stages, tents, and other facilities to handle the estimated 80k people that show up each year in a town of 1500 . . . the countryside looks like upstate New York, and it's really a small cow town. Maybe it should be called "Wackenstock?" ✌🏻 😎 Here is a glimpse into what I was a part of. More photos and videos to follow. I hope you have a terrific weekend! 🎸 🎤 🔊 #Wacken #wackenopenair #wacken2017 @wackenopenair.official #kenmary #kenkmary #AliceCooper @realalicecooper #Metallica #Megadeth #ACCEPT #FlotsamandJetsam #wackenstock #germany
Northern Light Orchestra begins new Christmas album for release in November 2017, "Star of the East." We've begun the tracking for the new Northern Light Orchestra album "Star of the East," which will be the first new full length album from the band in 3 years. Some amazing players will be performing on this album, including the amazing (and Grammy award winning) bassist David Ellefson from the multi-platinum band Megadeth. Below David and I are tracking bass for two of the new songs at SonicPhish Studios. #DavidEllefson #Megadeth #NorthernLightOrchestra #greatbass #kenkmary #classicrock #ChristmasinJune
#TBT House of Lords - Sahara This is one of the records that I had the most fun playing on and recording. We did this one "old school," where 5 guys get in a rehearsal room and actually jam out song ideas, demo them up, and THEN make a record. (Crazy concept, right?) The process was a fun one for sure, and we had an old Akai 12 track recorder that used these funky tapes that were very similar to video tapes to record all our ideas on. The technology was actually getting usable, as the song "Can't Find My Way Home" was actually our 12 track demo transferred to a 32 track digital machine, the drums and bass re-recorded, and then mixed on an SSL. That was our highest charting song, and proved to me that you can make a great record without spending $230k. (Well, we did spend 230k on this one anyway, lol.) We were able to get creative, and Gene Simmons encouraged us to let loose a little bit on songs like Kiss of Fire. He used to call it a "vulgar display of power." Haha. I like that saying from a musical perspective! Happy Throwback Thursday and have an amazing weekend! #kenkmary #houseoflords #genesimmons #simmonsrecords #rca #sahara

Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one of you!
This is going to be an odd post in terms of content, being Thanksgiving, Throwback Thursday, and the 25th anniversary of Eric Carr’s passing, who was both an amazing drummer and an amazing human being.
I met Eric a few different times, including when House of Lords and KISS were rehearsing in the same rehearsal studios in LA, and Eric and I would pop our heads into each other’s rehearsal studios briefly to listen. (House of Lords was then working with KISS bassist Gene Simmons as well, so it was a bit of a “family” atmosphere.) Eric was a genuinely nice person; no pretense, no “rock star” attitude, and no over inflated ego. He was just amazingly down to earth the times I met him, and by everyone’s account, he was a very special person in that way. He was very humble and always glad to say hello! I did not know him extremely well, but in my encounters with him he certainly left a very lasting impression as someone I would really want to be good friends with, and he is missed.
He was kind enough to lend me one of his drum kits when I was recording the second Fifth Angel album, “Tiime Will Tell,” in NYC at Media Sound Studios, with the famed Terry Brown (Rush and of course Neil Peart fame) producing. Terry Brown produced many of the Rush albums including Moving Pictures, and dialed in the drum sound for almost all of the Rush albums us drummers hold dear, lol, so it was an honor to work with him as well. The photos here are of Eric Carr of course, the kit he lent me, me tracking on the kit, and a blurry photo of bassist John Macko and Producer Terry Brown in the control room.
Again, have a great Thanksgiving! We all have much to be thankful for.

Flashback Friday!
One of these photos was taken recently at 3rd Encore Studios in Los Angeles. The other photo was taken somewhere on the road in 1988 when Fred Coury was filling in for Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler who had broken his hand in an altercation. Guns n' Roses were opening up for Alice Cooper on the "Raise Your Fist and Yell" tour.
Fred currently has a great recording studio located at the 3rd Encore facility. A fun fact; when we took this photo, The Rolling Stones were rehearsing in the building in back of us. They were rehearsing at 3rd Encore that week, and were there roughly 6 hours a day. I'm thinking what do they really need to practice at this point, right? They've played their songs for 40 some years . . . but amazing they are still dedicated to excellence.
Can you guess which one was taken when? Yes, I'm joking . . .
Have a great weekend everyone!! Cheers!
