Nice playing. You can tell the drums aren't real though.

[Whyte Ice]

The guitar sound on this sound is nice. Can't wait till I get a cyber twin which will probably be never.

jgourd is right, the drums don't sound that real.

The drums don't sound real, sure they don't, but I've heard MUCH WORSE!!! Mebbe if you pushed 'em back a bit in the mix they might seem a little less mechanical.

Nice guitar work, cool song.

I just listened to your song ...


although, yes you can tell the drums are not real ... they fit well in the formet of the song ...


I love the guitar ... really nice ...


it would be cool if you had put a lead ride in there without the drums like in the center somewhere ...

after you got through most of the song they started being a little repetitive and took away from the great guitar ....

just my opinion .... Lana / www.mp3.com/thecrowleys

Thanks for the opinions! That'll give me something to think about when I work on the next one. I really like the guitar tone I got from the Cyber-Twin too, maybe next time I'll try a "tweed" preset. Thanks guys!
