Hey, Guys,
Really sorry for the very late replies, things have been really crazy at work for me and that's why I haven't been around much lately. I'm hoping to be able to get back on here more often!
stevec: Hey, Steve,
Thanks so much, I greatly appreciate you checking out the video and your kind words!
Your comment about the drum sound made my day, and you've got excellent ears my friend!
I actually used my own "custom tweaked" version of Steven Slate's "Dream Theater Kit" for all the drums on both of my albums because I've always loved Mike Portnoy's drum sound on all of the Dream Theater, Adrenaline Mob and Winery Dogs stuff.
Thanks again, Steve and have a great night!

Freddy J: Hey Freddy,
It's great to hear from you, buddy!
Yes, Sir, It's been quite a while because I've been really swamped with work and super busy for the past couple of months. I'm hoping to be able to get on here a bit more soon to get some good ears, suggestions and input on a few mixes for my new CD coming in December.
Thank you very much for taking another look at the video and your very kind comments, Freddy, greatly appreciated!
Have a good one!

ABeautifulVirus: Hey, Daren, How's it going, bro? Hope you're having a rockin' week!
Thanks so much for checking out the video and for the kind words!
Yep, I've always been a big fan of all three of those bands and did a ton of Dokken, Dio/Rainbow and Ozzy/Sabbath in many of my cover bands over the years.
I really appreciate the comment on the drums because drums are always frustrating and a constant struggle for me. I played these live on my Yamaha pads, but LOL, I'm such a crappy drummer that I always record them in simple stages, first the basic groove on the kick, snare and hats and then layer in the toms, fills and cymbal crashes afterwards to try to get something half decent. I usually end up manually nudging, sliding and tweaking the track layers a gazillion times until things start sounding like what I'm hearing in my head for the song.
Anyway, thanks, man, I always look forward to and appreciate your input on my stuff because your tracks are always excellent!
Have a good one!
Bob
