Video of me & my 8 string + drum vid!

[SYLrules88]

I decided to make a clip of this thing ive been working on for about a week and a half now. Im a much better drummer than guitarist but it took me a hell of a lot longer to record a drum clip that was good enough. I tried to get it as perfect as possible. For some reason, I kept rushing the part at the end, and take after take, I wasn't getting better. it sounded fine while i was playing, but I discovered how much Id rushed when id go back and listen to it. if i had a way to record my real drums, things would be a lot tighter, i promise . hard rubber pads are barely an adequate substitute for the real thing.

i finalized the mix in sony acid studio but i dont have an interface so i recorded everything on my boss micro BR and exported one track at a time. thats about the best guitar tone i can get. im using the cab simulation out on my digitech metal master dist pedal going into an old jackson jx-3 on which i also use the cab simul out. im still new to recording and im in the process of learning how to add life to everything. Dont know where I got the idea for the weird shit at the end, but i think it adds a little spunk to it. sorry that im not that exciting to watch. I did over 30 takes on the drums so i stopped trying to ham it up and just concentrated harder. hope you all enjoy!

Sounds really cool !
Thanks for sharing this !
If only i could have an electronic kit to record my drumparts it'll be great !

thanks for the compliments! as i said, im working on adding clarity and life to everything, so my next one will sound better.

it makes recording so much easier, but i think in order to get a decent kit, you really have to spend some dough. the one im playing on was purchased by my lead singer several years ago for $1000. the hard rubber pads kinda suck, but at least he bought a mesh pad for the snare. the tracking isnt the best, but overall, i think the sounds are pretty good, and there really are lots of different snares, toms, kicks, etc to choose from. kinda sucks that this technology still costs a hell of a lot of money.
