Ha! Bass sounds awesome...isn't it like a squire or something? You mic a bass cab with a '57? I figured it was DI...anyway it sounds great throughout.

I like the backing vocals a lot on this.

Drums are crazy good. I think I hear the sizzle of the overheads more now (not that you changed anything - just me listening for it) but it sound good with a nice wash behind the whole thing.

What kind of snare is that...wood...metal? That has a '57 on it too, right? Sounds great. Most of that sound coming from the OHs? It's got crack, but it has body too. Nice. Sorry for all the questions...sounds great. I think there's a lot of energy in this beyond what you normally bring to the table. Good, frenetic energy.

Thanks dude. :)

Yeah it's a Squire P-bass into an Ampeg combo with a 57 right up on the grill. Nothing fancy.

The snare is a 14x6 Ludwig Supraphonic. It's a newer model, so it's made of that Ludalloy stuff. It's basically an aluminum alloy with chrome plating. It's got a Remo Powerstroke 3 batter and a Remo Ambassador Hazy reso with 30-strand Puresound wires. And yeah it's got a 57 on it. I'd say that my drum sound is probably half overhead/half close mic. Just the overhead tracks sound terrible, and just the close mic'd tracks sound terrible, but together they sound okay. :D

I'm not too happy with my drumming on this one. My cymbal work is especially shoddy. I hit some crashes hard, and barely tap other ones. Didn't play the ride well. I'm inconsistent on the hats. But fuck it. It's good enough.
 
Hey buddy, this has to be one of your most "musical" efforts!
I totally dig the arrangement, especially the change-over from the intro into the verse, very professional. Your drumming is fantastic and that guitar riff is a killer. Another great listen!:)

Thanks a lot Joey. :)

I haven't forgotten about that thing we talked about. The birdie will be there soon.
 
That's another bad ass track you've done. I think this one is a little more original sounding than the others I've heard. I like it.

I don't do my stuff live. I'm thinking about it though. I need to clone myself. I suppose I'd have to play guitar and sing and find a few subordinates that can play bass and drum like me while doing exactly what I tell them to do. I won't allow them any individuality. You play it like I recorded it, and that's it.

Hey! That's my dream band too! When I find a reliable cloner, I'll let you know. :D

I liked the first two Trinity movies. The whole thing got kind of tedious by the third though. I'd still call them spaghetti westerns. They're just slapstick comedy spaghetti westerns.
 
Yeah, dude... Listened twice. Really smooth sounding. Nice wide drums. Vocals getting better all the time. I really don't have much to say for a critique, but then again, pretty much all of your stuff rocks the pro sound. Still learning all sorts of stuff from your recordings. Thanks for posting.
