Jake E. Lee’s Red Dragon Cartel Studio Update

Red Dragon Cartel, a band featuring former Ozzy Osbourne and Badlands guitarist Jake E. Lee, just finished tracking drums for their upcoming album. Current drummer Phil Varone posted an update from the studio with the caption, “10 drum tracks done for the new @reddragoncartel album with the help of @RichSticksCom they took a beating and never let me down.”

If the band is just finishing drum tracks they are probably still in the early stages of recording. Typically they would start doing guitar and bass tracks next, then vocals, then more overdubs. There’s still plenty of time for a 2017 release.
