Kashmir (Led Zeppelin cover)

[Eric V]

Here it is. I'm still dabbling with stuff but like usual, I'm itching to move on. My next project will be a new original.

Takes balls to cover this.... I think most of the appeal of the original is the big powerful drumming that drives the song forward, but it sounds like you're struggling a bit here if i'm honest Not that I expect you to replicate john bonham, but I think you should go back and give the drums some attention first before doing anything else.....fix the timing issues, and add some feel/swing/power. I like the spirit behind your effort thought -- it definitely has potential.

"Bonham was a master of laying back in the pocket, meaning he struck his snare drum a fraction of a second after the strict metronomic center of beats 2 and 4"

I'm not really a drummer, but it's the best I could do given the scope.

Yeah I'd agree with Frank. The drums really need to lock down the groove which they don't do here.
Tried it myself, know how tough it is to replicate Bonham esp on an opus like Kashmir.
The instrumentation is good though - guitars, strings sound very much like the original. Vocals are excellent, you do Plant very well

Thanks. The drums are staying as is for 3 legit reasons. I'm not a professed drummer, I do it out of necessity. I'm working at it in an ongoing manner, but I also do not feel any further attempts would produce better results. And third, editing with a midi editor is tedious as heck. But thank you.
