The older I get it seems the slower tempo my songs generally are. I used to write a lot of songs between 120-140 bpm, but lately I'm leaning more towards 90 - 120 bpm. The rapid fire of the kick drum in Thrash Metal (or just metal beats) leaves me with a headache and a feeling I've been run over by 100 cars during a Grand Prix race.
It's okay if you like that style of music, but I think its more for the younger crowd.
I'm not quite ready for pop-ballads, I still like healthy upbeat rock songs, but the thrash metal goes against my "Woodstock DNA".
Toontrack rocks! But for me, at a slower tempo.
