    I want to learn drums

    I got an ekit to learn on and use it to trigger EZDrummer. No latency issues. Sounds better than the stock kits in the brain. I got a older Roland kit, second hand, works awesome for my needs. However, I have a room where I can play them loud, anytime. Best thing I bought in a long time, musically.

    The Fake Drums Tone Thread

    Best way I found is to render the cymbal track and cut each hit off where you want them. A touch of reverb for desired effect.

    it doesn't matter

    Good to see/hear you back HM. Missed your tunes..... I really like this tune. I'm with TripM on the vocals. Nudge up a hair here and there would make a great difference. Clichéd parts and grade school lyrics aside, I thought it sounded great. I'm a great believer of "whatever works, to get you...

    Eclipse of My Mind

    Very nice RAMI. I love the Egytian-ish feel of the guitar intro. (That's what I get from it anyway) The verses sound fine to me. Sometimes it sounds like one voice so it blends very nicely to the two vocals. Big :thumbs up: from me. Really enjoyed it!

    Key

    I don't have any preferred key to write in. My songs come from walking and working, so however I'm singing or humming that tune at that time will usually determine the key when it comes to picking up an instrument. I don't have a problem with any key. Bb is probably my most common used though...

    Solo Shmolo.......(Video)

    I know what you mean. I've learned loads with the kit, playing wise and programming. I could see where I was going wrong with my programming before. Having the E-Kit opened up my eyes to what can be done in programs like EZDrummer/Superior, etc. Yeah I've adjusted all my pads/cymbals...

    Solo Shmolo.......(Video)

    You get out what you put in I suppose. I have the blessing of a room away from the main part of the house and can hit the things all night long and not bother anyone. It's great. I'd say to anyone though, if I can learn.....anyone can. I really believed it would be one of those things that I...

    Solo Shmolo.......(Video)

    Yeah the stool was the best purchase after the actual kit. After a couple of weeks forcing myself to sit upright and not slouch, my bad back went away and now it's like second nature. A lot more comfortable. Being higher on the kit as well made a huge difference. Everything in nice easy reach...

    Solo Shmolo.......(Video)

    Indeed. Great songs to play along to too. Although still not a massive fan of ACDC, I find myself liking them a whole lot more than I did and having a huge respect for their musicianship in general. I'm also a lot more comfortable playing now as opposed to that video, which is from September...

    Solo Shmolo.......(Video)

    Cheers Greg. I remembered what you said in my first few days of drumming about meter and stamina. I also followed your advice and learned to play along with The Ramones and ACDC. Along with a few youtube videos on the way I'm still at it and enjoying it (which is the main thing) I spent a few...

    Solo Shmolo.......(Video)

    Cheers. Yeah once I got the whole "feet moving independently of the arms" thing I really started to get it. I borrowed a kit of a friend initially to see how I got on with them, as I'd never touch a drum kit seriously before. Didn't want to waste money but I soon fell in love with playing and...

    Solo Shmolo.......(Video)

    Damn Ram-i, that's some impressive shit! Maybe in 20 yrs or so I'll be able to hit some skins like that. I've only ever video'd myself once to see how I play, etc. (I'd only been playing for just over a year though at the time.) I'm thinking, now is the time to start getting some lessons and...

    Snare sounds great to me here. Nice SNAP to it. The bass line however, is very fuckin' nice! :thumbs up:

    Stones cover..."Dandelion"

    I like it. Has the same vibe as the original. (One of my favourite Stones B-Sides.) Everyone has already chipped in with the ins and outs of the mix, I'll just add a :thumbs up:

    Invasion From Mars

    He did indeed, twice if I recall correctly. I have the 2nd version as my ringtone. :laughings: I like the tune Dr.SR. The lofi quality of it gives it a real nice late 50's/early 60's vibe. Just a shame about that lead melody being so loud,. Can that not be fixed or is that committed to tape...

    Micing guitar amps in a home studio: Your setup?

    My amp is beside me, on an angled stand, pointing at my head. I don't have a problem with volume and headphones (Closed back, tight ear hugging) when tracking in my little room. :thumbs up:
