New Song / Selling Drums
http://home.mchsi.com/~duffman123/My_Friend.mp3
New song, rough mix (very rough), done in N-Track not mastered. Spent the last couple of weeks recording clips of my acoustic drums with N-Track. I have realized I cant, nor ever will, play drums worth a darn so I am selling my acoustic set. Can you say tempo drift? Keeping my electronic set & congas. This song happened while I was goofin with my drums.
Thanks to “N” I now have a large collection of 24 bit 48K drum files I can splice together. Reclaim some basement space? Nah…I’ll find some piece of gear to fill’er up.

Good tune Duff, enjoyed it, like to hear final mix on it! 
Oh . . .
and Happy Belated Birthday!
Thanks Yaz for the Birthday wishes…It was a great day. I got to spend my morning at my business installing a new hydrolic cylinder for the arbor in my hardwood resaw. But… when I got home the wife had homemade Italian Beef, and fried bread for dessert!
Another year older and that much fatter!

Can you say tempo drift?
Can you say metronome?
I found the drift rather intriguing - snare went from one - to two count and I never noticed where!
It’s just a minor foundation thang, that turns major when the walls go up and things don’t exactly line up like they should. No excuses though. Tighten up!
When I get my winter plate of things to do finished Duff - I really wanna do a tune or two with you. Serious.
Poppa, change buried in congas…bassline helped…not a bass, Casio keys on #14 pipe organ, played in lowest octave.
I did not drift in this song. I just find in general, after all these years of trying, I just cant keep all my parts moving and pounding the drums through a whole song, in time…I just cant do it…somewhere after 8 or 12 or some # of measures my timing drifts a bit. EVEN FOLLOWING A METRONOME…So I give up… playing drums…
Anytime you want to collab…anytime.

Before you sell, play with a click track or cowbell track.
I think you'll see instant improvement.
Well if your lookin for space, use that technique with your elect,kit.
You have to trane for everthing. Believe it or not your where potty trained once.
Some of us wern't, but you probably where.
Good Song Mr Duffman
Hi Duffman:
You got a twin out here on the coast…
His name is Brian Matheson…
He’s a multi-talented musician… Any instrument he picks up he can get music from it…
I almost hate guys that can do that with any instrument…
When he’s in the studio, he’s a OnE TaKe Kind-of-Guy…
Anyway, you two are the spitin image of one-another…
I downloaded your project…
What’s the matter with that tempo…
anyway…
?
Bill…
I like the tune. It’s got style.
PACO
