Helloooo here´s a live recording of a track called ´crash´ from when we played at Leeds Festival in the UK over the summer... It´s not a great mix but it´s a novelty (for me anyway) and has proved very useful for self-criticism as well... no escaping the mistakes, the studio is so much kinder  let me know what you think! http://www.bbc.co.uk/humber/realmedia/2007/08/30/audio/redeyecrashtx.ram |

THanks Ryan you are my friend for life.  Anyways, the locals have high hopes for this young man. It is pretty much decided that I'm too old to be in his band, but it's alotta fun playing on some of his stuff. They have a fresh young drummer coming in to do the rest of his record, so we (me and the mouse in my pocket) will have to sit behind the dials and let "Jr." take all the glory from here on out  Actually Hannah should tour with this kid *if they could afford her* |

Well this is my first post here. I have been a member for a little while now and I spend quite a bit of time reading posts and searching for things that I'm looking for. I find that most of the questions I have, have already been answered. Anyway, thank you all so much for the help you have indirectly given me. Here is a recording of an original song that our band put together last weekend. It was my first time ever recording my drums and I did the 4 mic setup that has been talked about before. Feel free to give any feedback. http://www.psyden.com/quarterhorse/originals/Quarter%20Horse%20-%20Going%20Home.mp3 |

A fan of ours recorded these tunes with a hand-held mic in the back of the room. Not bad, considering! www.myspace.com/tastesmoothnsexy |

I have decided to move to this thread for awhile cause I need some excitement and I'm finding this thread exciting. Uhmmm? I hate out of tune guitars? YOU don't hate me cause of that right? Oh he sounds like he got it together by the second tune.  Drums sound good right? Sounds like you can lay it down with your bass player. Okay, I will have to be very careful if I move to this thread. I think I can handle it. |

haha yea it is country. Its funny before I joined this band I never listened to country. Its grown on me and I kinda like it now. Good thing is most country music is pretty simple for drums and I'm not any amazing drummer so thats good for me. Anyway, I'll post up when we get some more songs recorded, although the rest are just cover songs... |

Yes, you are alive and playing drums- which by all means is indeed amazing. That would be cool. |

Well, since Felix is here, I guess I have to put something up We're getting some of the initial mixes back for our upcoming EP, here's one: Hollywood www.eekrecords.com/mp3/lna.mp3It takes a bit for everyone to come in, the first verse is guitar and vocals only. There's ONE instance of profanity in the bridge, for those of you who are sensitive to such things. I used my Hart Dynamics E-drums, Roland TD-20 Brain, with the vexpressions LTD Timeless Timber kit. I'll post one of the uptempo songs, once we finalize a mix. |

PDXtaco - Nice country tune! I'm with felix, it's not my cup of tea, but it's done well. Are you using rods? Nice choice to compliment the acoustic.
Donelk - The 3 of you definitely hit your stride by the third song. You and the bass player have a nice solid feel. I'm not sure I'm crazy about the guitarists' style, but once he tuned up, it sounded pretty good.
I dislike Real Media with a passion, so I missed out on dmcc's offering.
Felix's playing is cooler than that kid's hair...nuff said.
(that really is a nice snare, I wish it was clearer in the mix)

Thanks! I am using rods. The song was written to be played at a co-workers funeral so the lyrics standing out were the main intent. |

The rhythm guitar needs to clean up his playing alittle in my opinion. I like your singer's voice... he's got a little "lip music" going on- I would try and chop that out to clean it up a little though. Drums are grooving fine |

Thanks for that! The singer's got a great voice, but he could use a little polish. He tends to move around a lot, tapping feet and moving in and out from the mic. It's great when we're performing, but not so desirable in the studio. I'm working with him on that. Spot on with the guitar. I'm not crazy about mixing piano with electric guitar, especially since a keyboard piano sound is always perfectly in tune, and a guitar...isn't. It's the arrangement and sound that they want, though, so I'll let them have it for now. I keep hammering it into their heads that if you lay down a sub par track, the final mix is only going to make it worse, not better. They're starting to improve, but sometimes it's like splitting hairs.  |

This is a brief clip of me playing along to Zeppelin's In My Time Of Dying. I figured it's about time I demonstrated on Drummer Cafe that I actually do play the drums.
