And you do it like this!
RE:
i got this irritating feeling to go to a jamming studio and hit on the drums. and its getting pretty bad. all this exciting songs playing in my head. and suddenly as it comes i would be moving to my sides and get all groovy. which is fun but not good enuff to satisfy my carving for jamming. i hate this tied down feeling. my hands need to roam free. i dont mind if i dun have the drumsticks. my palms will be good enough to hit the table and use them as makeshift conga. whenever i play at weddings, we would have this saying ' dont rush, feel the groove'. and it helps to calm down the fastbeats of the previous songs and get even with the timing of the current song.
planning to get a set of my own and slowly make my own tiny studio. it will take time definitely. but im afraid dat i will get bored of it. on the other hand, i've got healthy competition in the house itself. so probably we have to fight our way to play. haha. one mic for the kick and 2 overhead mics. (me+headphones+drums+mics+cables+computer+acid pro 4.0 = happiness). a dangerous equation that will satisfy my carving for cocanised music. just the bolded part is missing. once i have that, im not leaving my room and i will mix my own music. ohh yeah.
me dabbling with digital music for the past 2 years wasnt a waste of time indeed. the effects i can create by mixing acoustic and digital drums will be awesome. to add to that, a variety of sounds from my SPD. which currently needs to be repaired.(shoot! more money). but still, i have to agree that original sounds is still the best. digital sounds from my spd can give a max of 75% kick only unlike acoustic sound which is ofcourse 100%. i've been yearning to capture that salsa beat. once i perfected that beat, i can use it and incorporate into any songs. and it will make a hell of a difference to listeners and move effect to the people on the dance floor.
music is the only thing that will last till doomsday. so...
spice it up! and get into the groove, my friends.
