Spike - E Photo Autobiography Excerpt / Nathan Adair

I'm a studio, on-call drummer, and producer in the Los Angeles area. I'm Kamasi Washington's go to drummer. I have accumulated a variety of pictures from my early days in the business, and a few of my experiences to show you what Spike - E has lived. Also, A place of mine that has helped me with my creative process, concepts, and ideas. 











This was the very big day that I was first signed on as a sponsor for Vic Firth, and I made my signature sticks with them.










                            A picture of me playing a tune in a studio session I was hired for in an LA studio.









 This is a treehouse that I would go to up near the redwoods when I was looking for a place where I could be alone and let my mind come up with new concepts for my music. I brought along a photographer to show people how I work.






                                                  This is me climbing into the treehouse.


                                              A picture of me peepin on the photographer. 





             The beginning studio I worked with. Cheap monitors and a cheap interface got me started.



                        This was me outside a house show I was playing while I was back in college.
