Cover Song - Spooky -
Been messing around with this old song called " Spooky " a favorite of mine . I added all the drumming to this one using my new electronic drum kit . Its great to be playing again , tried raising the volume level on my bass pad as high as it will go and all of the other pads to . Everything is maxed out on volume in this kit . http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=13439162&q=hi&newref=1 Enjoy! Hope the mix is right , sounds good on my speakers

Glad you are playing again James. Kinda like the way this turned out, it has kinda a live sound the way your drums are recorded. Although I must ask, did you do a direct record from the drums or use Addictive drums for you sound?
That was sorta an older tune I recorded, I might add some words and vocals and actually already had a lead guitar solo for it but I can do so much better since when this was recorded.
Sorry nobody is replying James, reason I don't post anything here anymore, too many holier than thou attitudes. You asked if I could send you something to piddle with and this was the one I chose.
You really need to turn the bass kick up badly, it is non-existent in this recording you done, you must have mixed with the bass really down. But then again, I told you, send me the track and I'll mix it since I have the master tracks, you just added to an MP3 so I guess that's expected. No big deal.
Glad you had some fun with it James, life is too short and I enjoyed hearing what you done regardless of my tiny crits and stuff.
Sounded good!!! I like your drum playing, very tight but real.

Hi Bobby , I was not triggering my Addictive drums . Everything was from the drum module itself .
Yea I might want to check my bass pad setting , not sure if I turned up the volume on that pad .
Anyway thanks , enjoying my new electronic drums for sure .
Plan on adding another Crash Cymbal pad to my drum kit , maybe next month .

Rawk! I think you could bring the drums up a bit in the mix, they sound pretty high quality. I don't hear the bass g much, is there one? If not, that would be a cool add.
cheers,

Nice rocking tune and the drums sound pretty good......I have to agree the bass kick does need to be kicked up a notch or two.
Doesn't sound like you've missed a beat in those two years.....well done!!!

Hi Daryl , sorry for the slow reply been busy !
This kit is a Alesis Forge Electronic drum kit , cost me $500.00 new from Sweetwater .
This kit is great for the price , wasn't sure about buying it at that price but after playing it the kit is worth every penny in that price range and ten times better then the Yamaha DTX that I had two years ago that was junk to play on .
This is not the best electronic kit on the market but in this price range it's very playable !
The whole kit is very well made , great drum pads and choke able cymbal pads and the module is very good .
I didn't have a lot of money to spend on another electronic drum kit , Bobby told me about this kit and I checked it out and then jumped on it !

James, please don't take this the wrong way, but did you play drums over the original by Atlanta Rhythm Section?

Fess up! you the Atlanta Rhythm Section!

Nice work, sounds really good musically. Needs more bass and kick.....Drums do sound a bit over-compressed too. Otherwise, good.
Regards

I did , I mixed it where my drums were louder .
You can't make hardly any mistakes because it's very noticeable , I had to practice these fills and accents a few times over because you could easily hear my mistakes .

Just went back in and raise the volume level up more on my drum track for this Cover Song and then updated my first upload for this Cover song .
It was ok the first time but with this updated uploaded version my drums are a bit higher in drum track volume .
