Nice song Mike. I'd echo what Carl said - I think you can dispose of your vocalist - your voice is in fact great! You remind me a bit of Michael Stipe. Its particularly good when the harmonies come in. Seriously, you should be singing as well as playing. I banged this on my mp3 player this evening, set to 'repeat' and had it on a loop for ages and can't really find any fault. Its the best example yet of a believable 'real drummer' sound - that technique of slight speedup works really well. I'll be looking again at the nskit - it has a great 'clean studio sound. Any chance you could send the drum db over for me to look at for tips?

Great new kit David You're right - Its like an improved vi kit - which is good for me as I've been veering back to that one lately. You've added loads of imaginative additions which adds to the 'real drummer' result. I think some of your ideas should be taken up by others who are thinking of constructing a kit. Thanks for taking the time to do this and for remembering about my request for the tambourine L & R hits too - fits really well in the kit. Like the Cutouts tracks especially the third. Actually this goes back to something someone else said a few weeks ago on the list - that a real live drummer plays like a (musical) instrument - responding to the other musicians throuought the track. Nice logo for the cutouts too! A half-finished demo is on my site using viii (in conjunction with a retro yamaha keyboard drum sound!)

hi folks, i have finally found some time to assemble the third in the 70sLudwigKit series. this definitely sucks less than the vII kit. of course, no one drum sound fits all tastes so your mileage may vary. the compressed zip file is ~20MB and the uncompressed kit is a whopping 100+MB. there's 80 or so individual sounds. i made new icons, with screwy combinations of iconography and color to make things a bit more readable (at least to me). the sad news is that this is the last in the line... i sold the kit. enjoy! and let me know what you think. a test arrangement is included. sort of a sped-up tweaked-out bo diddley kinda thing. here's the link: http://www.slugworth.com/ludwig/ (ben feel free to cross-post on www.doggiebox.com if you like). cheers, david. ps: to hear me playing live on "the cutouts" recent ep check out the main page: http://www.slugworth.com/ pps: be gentle. ;-) these are our first recordings, tracked, mixed, and burned to cd in less than 12 hours (on borrowed studio time).
