Hub-Tones Drum Solo
Here’s a solo from McCoy’s junior recital over their arrangement of Hub-Tones by Freddie Hubbard. McCoy would be remiss if they didn’t credit Dillon Pinard for his trades on percussion and Dakota Koester for his mixing.
“I am very proud of how this turned out! I hope you dig this, I know I still do.” - McCoy
