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? Cheers Sion Morris Liverpool www.cinnamondesign.co.uk/music/music.html -------------------------------------------

My singer didn't show up so I gave it a go myself. I don't know if I'll be doing much more of this kind of singing. I'm going through the "I hate my voice" thing.
The drums are all Doggiebox using nskit v.7. I really like the polish and natural feel of this kit. I need to tone the toms down a little bit, but one thing at a time. This is an example of "pushing the tempo" during the chorus to make the thing feel a little more human.
I had posted this before, but at the time it had no vocals and was fairly bare bones. This is an all new version using my new gear (MXL 990 mic, M-Audio monitors, Tascam US-122 interface, Fender Pro Junior... the list goes on.
