Here's another Mp3 drum solo, "Prima DivaBeat"... It was recorded on July 2nd in

Tucson Arizona, and  features

Rich Nordenburg on Bass!
 

We named it "Prima" because during the solo Chip does his impression of Louis Armstrong singing (if you call that singing) Louis Prima's version of the Jungle Book theme....

which was sung in the cartoon by King Louie...

we probably should have just called it King Louie....:)
