song recorded Drums first
The Hubcaps. 'can't change things'. Slow blues. The drums were recorded first, without any music. The 'brief' I asked Graham to work to was....think of working to some kind of song structure, include some articulated parts and aim for 3:30 long.
Everything else was written and recorded to fit the pre-recorded drums.

Thanks to all those who have watched and had a listen.
We are working on a couple of other tunes recorded 'drums first', one is fast and funky, the other is a shuffle-deluxe.
I will post them on completion.
Re: song recorded Drums first
I used to do that back in the 70's and 80's. I would have the song written and record the drum track first, then add keyboards, bass, guitar, and whatever else was called for. Now I usually track live drums last after all the other instruments are recorded to a basic midi drum track.
