    Default 1st Recording

    Finally figured id record myself playin a song ive been (off and on) practicing. It has one of those beats with the bass that I was complaining about in earlier posts. Once it clicked some I told myself this is the song im gonna perfect before I find another one to play.

    Im only using the mic my computer utilizes for recording so its not the GREATEST sound, however, its free and im no Neal Peart so I dont expect anyone to sign me to no record deal! Im still a bit off on my timing but have the basic fills and rythms figured out of this song. Theres a few times I found myself lost in the music or the beat and forget to transition into the next fill or forget to hit the snare or cymbals or even hit something when im not spose to. But hey, like I said, dont expect Ozzy to come to the door begging for my awesomeness .

    That was a good job, man. Two things stuck out for me: the Cymbals...not the best sounding and not very articulate but, I suspect that you know this. Second, the fills, you are covering what you hear but don't let that limit your own contributions. You have some ideas and you can use this type of practice to experiment with various patterns and begin building a "Vocabulary" of drum licks and fills.

    The cymbals we play will be full of wash and overtones or they will be drier sounding in which you can here more stick definition. Wash tends to get in the way of the music and often obscures the play. The drier the cymbal...cast bronze...the more prized the sound and the more appreciated by band members because they can listen to the drummer and key in on that Cymbal. Always keep in mind, you are not just playing a cymbal beat, it's going to be specific to what you are playing and the band needs to listen to that. If you ever feel that they aren't getting that message, you need to tell them to listen closely to what you doing for them.
