A bit rushed here and there, + a few wrong notes, but on the whole I'm happy with it : )

 

i've played piano since first grade, still absolute garbo at it
i played trumpet for a year in the fourth grade, then switched to horn, which i've now been playing for almost four years mostly in the school band

 

heading to the studio tomorrow to record my first solo song, where I play the drums, bass, guitar and do the vocals as well. absolutely love recording it's so fun

 

What's your drum setup like?

 

awesome! did you actually improvise that?

 

ok, so when I was younger (like 4 or 5) my parents bought me a drum set for Christmas , and when I got a bit older, I stoped playin. I start drumming on my desk in school and drive my teachers right to the edge, they all say I should play the drums. I listen to a ton of rock, and stuff. (I'm 14) should I pick it back up or is it to late?

 

It's never too late to start : )

 

Thanks man : )
Yup, totally and utterly made up on the fly. Some of the ideas you heard in there were imported over from other improvs I've done over the years, but all in all, I just sat down, started recording and started playing, putting in bits and pieces when I thought the time was right. It wasn't really that well put together tbh, and the transition at around 2:00 or so has me cringing, but the beginning and the end was good and totally made up just at that moment. The more active parts in the middle came from previous runs.
Have you got any recordings?

 

yeah, but just songs I have learned. Maybe I'll try marking my own, yours is great!
i'll see if i can find a recording of mine for ya

 

Cool, I honestly haven't heard of or played either of those brands to be honest. How do they compare to more readily available drum companies like Tama, DW, or Pearl? And the cymbals to such brands as zildjian and sabian?

 

Yeah I know that's the one I was talking about, I've just never heard of Orion cymbals.

On a side note, I really want to put LED rings in my acrylic shells. It would either look really cool when playing live or kinda ricey, can't decide

 

Here's the solo song I recorded yesterday. Lemme know whatcha think.

 

You're doing the drums in the bg right?
Sounds really nice, man
I like the funky chord progressions

 

Thanks, and yes. Everything in the song is done by me and is original.
