Hey y'all,
It's been an interesting start to the summer, we're
finishing up the recording and its coming along pretty good
so far. The drum tracks, bass tracks and one of the guitar
tracks including rhythm and solos are done, now it's just the other guitar that
needs tracking, and vocals. Considering the music isn't mixed yet, it sounds as
good as it can for what it is. I'm looking forward to hearing everything when
it's all recorded and mixed!
On another note, I've been looking to sell my Mapex maple
snare, it has a nice sound but just doesn't cut through the mix like I would
want it to. The drum is 14 by 5 1/2 so I want to get a wood snare that has at
least a 6.5 inch depth to get more bottom end and projection. I already have a
bronze steel Ludwig snare which I love and is pretty much my go to snare, but
essentially I think it's good to have a really strong steel and maple snare
depending on the application.
I'm looking at the Black Panther wood snares from Mapex or
the bubinga snares from Tama. We will see what I end up with but whatever
snare I decide on, it's gonna have balls the size of melons!
I can't wait for this recording to be over so we can hit the
stage again, I think that's the part I love most about being in the band with
these big dummies, there's nothing like letting loose on stage and having
nothing on your mind but the music. I guess I'm lucky because I can do that,
not everyone has something that they get to do and love doing it.
I'm very lucky to be able to play the music that I do, with
the the people I'm playing it with. Only an idiot would be unappreciative to
having such a luxury:)
Marco
