In 2014, Buttress O'Kneel decided to experiment with manipulating CDs through her series of anbaric contraptions along to the base-level analogue-reality of pounding drums, improvising against a bed of real-time percussion, using her CD-destroying machines as a lead instrument instead of a rhythmatic one, combining the artificial with the demonstrably authentic. This "Drum and Waste" series, begun with A Demon Sheen on the kit and later Jennifer Tait, continues, with a total of three releases so far (one with Sheen, two with Tait).

But in 2017, the thought occurred to Ms O'Kneel, that there are many available "drums only" stem-type pieces available on the information superhighway - wouldn't it be fun to play along to OTHER drummers - more famous, less aware of her intentions - and record some kind of a "Drum and Waste All-stars" release?

The answer, it turns out, was a resounding "FUCK YES".

On this first EP (she split the recordings into two releases - seriously, who wants to listen to an uninterrupted hour of jittering CD noise?), Buttress jams along with Dave Lombardo, John Dolmayan, John Bonham, Brad Wilk, and Lars Ulrich. All pieces improvised.

"A Nonrigid Lob" is an anagram of "Raining Blood".
"Triennial Hoof" is an anagram of "Fool in the Rain"
"Mainline Elk Thing" is an anagram of "Killing in the Name".
"Damn Near Nest" is an anagram of "Enter Sandman".
