Thanks! I don't practice the drums really to get better, but I should. It's better to do that on an acoustic set since the electronic doesn't feel nearly as real or have the same dynamics.
If I play these days, it's just to put together a song for Steemit (not too often), or previously in music studios to jam with some friends.
Any song I find is something I can easily play by ear, so I just play it over and over until I get a take where I'm happy enough to present it. I can usually play anything in a 4/4 time signature by ear, feel, or memory.
I recognize your strategy of repetition. It's my strategy as well, for learning pretty much anything, including to play the guitar. Practice makes perfect etc.
I have a proposition for you: I've been practicing to cover this song for a couple of months now. Still a work in progress and I still have at least 1 additional month of practice to go before I'll be ready to record anything.
I'll be playing the guitar and doing the vocals and friend of mine (a music producer) will be in charge of the production and mix -- I'm planning to make this an entry in #openmic, and also as an audio only dsound post.
So my proposal is; Would you be interested in doing the drums? Sure, we could record them on a keyboard, but that's not the same, and besides, neither my friend or me are drummers. It would be awesome to get the job done by someone that knows what they're doing.
I'll be doing a video of my performance -- if you record a video as well, we could do the picture-in-picture thing. Or not.
Either way, it would be important to get a high quality recording of your drums for the mix. I'm guessing that won't be a problem if you use your electronic kit. If you want to do it on a real kit, proper recording equipment for drum kits would be required as well.
I would of course never publish anything with your name on it, before letting you hear the results first and getting your approval. But that's further down the line.
Wow, didn't know you were working on that! Sure, I'm happy to help, as long as it's not polka music. If you have a scratch track, I could try to get used to the song and see how natural/well I could play the drums for it. My drum module just need an MP3 file to play along to.
He he, definitely not polka music -- I posted a link for the song above (in case you missed it).
I don't have a scratch track yet but I'll get right on that. Should be able to provide one within a couple of weeks time. In the meantime you could rip the original song to mp3 from youtube, if you want to give it a go before that.
Very cool that you're on board. This will be an interesting project.
