writing on drums........

[slidey]

well do you????

I get different ideas/inspirations pending on what instrument I play

some of my whackiest musical ideas are spawned whilst beating seven bells out of my drum set

I also get some good ideas whilst playing piano..............I have to work damn hard on keys as I'm not a keys player

but every now & then I lay down the drums as the first instrument which means one must know exactly where & what the arrangement is or it gets awfully confusing

but man is it fun!!!!!

 

[J.C. Scott]

I don't think I've ever began writing a song by playing drums first. Most have started either in my head or on guitar/piano.

I sometimes think of a song while I'm tapping away on the desk or whatever. But when I'm playin on the kit I'm usually practicing stuff and not really just screwing around, so I don't really think of anything besides working on whatever I'm working on
