3, 2, 1...ROLLING!

Recording drums is so stinkin' fun. Okay, I setup to record at about 4:30p. Instead of beginning, I wanted to lossen up a bit. I haven't played in a couple of days and haven't really practiced, so that turned into an hour or so. Tiny note...

I am using VDRUMS! Grace bought the top-of-the-line Roland module with a top of the line Hart Dynamics v-drum kit. We're rockin it electronic style. These things are so close to being real it's not funny. You can customize the type of wood the drums are to emulate. It's nuts! V-Drums have a great feature of having built-in patterns and sequences so I can play along to pre-recorded music. It is nice to practice with.

So, about 6 rolls around and Mike and Paul come to Grace. We piddle around with sound levels for church on Sunday and then end up going out to eat. Haven't recorded yet...

We meet Angela and head off to San Miguel's. Pretty good food, not the greatest, but, oh well. We drive back by Grace and I setup a click and let it record for a few minutes. I then have to go back and get levels relatively set. I hit record for the drum tracks at around 11. I did two takes, and picked the best one. It's up at my portfolio site. I am going to "pretty: that site up a bit and post a link here pretty soon. Hopefully the mix is usable and if it is, I am off to song number two. That's pretty much my day in a nutshell. Later...
