Thumbs up Studio pics - OMG teh DRUMZ!!!!!1 (now with mp3 content)

Ok, so I was having a fuck of a time sequencing this drum beat for a cover I want to do on my album, this song in 3/4 but in a couple places sort of pauses by going to 4/4, and Sonar and Fruity Loops weren't playing nicely for some reason. Friday at work it hit me that since the part was pretty sparse anyway, I could probably play it myself easier than I could sequence it. So, I shot an email to my roommate,got the go-ahead, and when I got home carried his kit over into my room.

You haven't lived until you've been in a bedroom just big enough to hold a bed, a dresser, a computer, and a drumkit, that actually has a drumkit. \m/

Because on the internet it never happened unless you have pictures, I've attached two.





The tune's an old traditional Celtic song called "Fhear A Bhata (the boatman)" if anyone knows/cares. One of my mom's favorite songs, and another one of those perfect melodies that you just can't change a note. I'd post it up, but I'm not too happy with the solo on it right now - it's the sort of thing where it's more effective if you don't overplay, and, well, I overplay.

Also, unrelated tangent, Chris can confirm that I'm way better at recording acoustic guitars than I am at recording, like, anything else.

I wish. :/ it's my roommate's kit - his room'a a bit bigger than mine, so he's got space for a kit. I just moved it over to my room for the evening to record a track.

As it was, it was a fuckin tight squeeze to get in and out of the room. They're farther apart than they look, but it's not ideal.

Anyway, in case anyone's curious:

Very much a work in progress (I'm still overplaying here and there and I'm not really "finding" the chords consistantly, melodically speaking), but whatever, we're all friends here.

My fingers aren't really used to 11's anymore, and are now absolutely brutalized.
