Like it. The production is really excellent. I'm glad you have been able to get together with your lyricist friend. You create some very good original songs together. The middle 8 is nice and the song writing and guitar work is very good as usual. You've mixed the drums in at just the right level I think. They certainly are believable - and, like come alive, have a "Mike Carlyle' sound to them especially the fills and the pause/fill towards the end [Does anyone else think that even as non 'real' drummers, we have a drumming style?] I've always thought the ns was just a little too 'studio' sounding - you are right about the toms and the Sonor ones are a lot better. Good luck with Foolish U. Sounds like fun. You've wetted my appetite with the new kit any chance you could post up a link for us other doggieboxers? I generally use the Yamaha kit - which I think also originated from a link you posted, but its always good to have a range of kits available :) All the best Sion Sion Morris Liverpool www.sionsmusic.cinnamondesign.co.uk ------------------------------------------- On 23 Jul 2007, at 23:35, Michael Carlyle wrote:
I can't for the life of me recall where I found these Sonor samples. I decided I needed a kit that sounded fuller than the nskit 7 that had become my go-to kit. The nskit toms are too "snappy" with no following resonance in the deeper tones. I can't get them to sound good anymore. I built a Sonor Kit last month and have started testing it.
Anyway, I've gotten myself a Yamaha AW1600 and have started recording again with a singer/lyricist friend. I look for free moments between real life and gigs with my cover band.
A song called Footprints can be found here. Let me know what you think, and if you "believe" the drums.
