my solo(I know, a bit late)

[cybersprint]

I got so inspired by listening to all the solos that I decided to have a go at something ( no intentions of joining the competition)

been playing 9 months

[Panopticon]

not bad...i'm sensing some marching snare roots? Or just seriously heavy use of stick control?

[Against-the-Scene]

pretty damn good you should of entered the drum off.

[FL3P]

Nice snare work and you have a nice groove too!

[cybersprint]

UUUGh, listening to it know I realise how badly tuned my toms are:mad: (Enemytopuplic: no snare background, just heavy use :P)

[ZeppaMusic]

too much use of the snare i think, even though it was different all the time you should of added like a tom somewere every now and then and your hi-hit, when you did the pedal on them it didnt sound like it opened and closed properly, and i couldnt tell if you were hitting you Crash or hi-hit open sometimes

[Byron]

that was really good, now if you work that snare solo around the set and use what you got, it would be great

[White]

pretty good for 9 months and yeah lol, your toms do sound pretty poor

Yepp I aree...the pedal hi hat stuff is a bit sloppy at some spots(in fact the only constituents im pleased with is: the snare prelude, and the trips-feel groove) . though, judging from what the toms sounded like on the recording, id rather have left them out entirely :p

[You'rEuLoGy]

Overall i thought that is was pretty good for nine months

you wippied out some sick beats yo

[cybersprint]

Dedicated three hours today trying to tune my toms for the better:

[Ellx]

Dam, this shows me how bad i need stick control, nice solo man.



edit: how old are you?

[cybersprint]

edit: how old are you?

I cant believe it, im 20, just realised that:confused:

[Ellx]

Woah, late bloomer? awesome solo though, keep at it.

[tapioca]

very good playing for your 9 months. I can't remember if I could play the Eulogy beat at that time. keep at it.
maybe you should look out for a new microphone. I use a mic that's more than 10 years old, but I still think my recording sounds levels better than yours. maybe also experiment with different positions of the mic. I have mine behind my bass drum at the height of my snare, and it captures almost my whole set pretty well imo. what do you record with?

[Drummer Freak 911]

nine months? damn lol
You sound like your in the marching band or drumline or something cuz of ur awesome snarework . I enjoyed that :thumb: :chug:

[Aslives4hockey]

Sounded preety good.. keep it up

[Jetpack]

yeah man pretty rockin good job, fix yer toms put some duct tape on em hahah

Yeah, you cant hear the hi hat with the foot during the snare part, ill think of something...maybe buy a new one. Right now I have a crappy computer mic

[Chippy569]

your mic was overdriving... drums too loud for the mic. put the mic back farther away from the kit if you can, it'll sound a lil' nicer.

it was good tho!

[Bonham#1!]

I liked it, but definately the recording kinda turned me off. I also think you should have entered the competition, I didn't like mine at all but its fun to just enter.

[cybersprint]

Bonham?? im surprised...

You couldnt spot the zeppelin thievery in the solo? I play a poor crappy version of the "the rover" build up in the beginning (hate my playing in that segment, partially because of the toms, and also because of some timing issues...and hmm yeah the whole thing)

If you havent heard the original, then do!!

[chickensandwiches]

pretty good, i gotta put up a recording but all i got is a crappy mp3 player recorder mic

so maybe at first ill just use that

or i may put up some recordings next week when my band records

[drummerdude9574]

it was really good for nine months.. only thing i didnt like is wiuth your hi hats around the i donno say 45 second mark? they were really sloppy i dont like how you used the hats there. seemed like they were open way to much and it sounded bad but other then that, it was great

[chickensandwiches]

should i put up a recording even though itll be bad quality?

[cybersprint]

Of the rover?

if so: YES!

[DillingerEscp]

For 9 months, youre damn good dude, keep that up.

but yeah, Lol I was gonna say your toms sound like Super Mario Bros when you jump, or get a coin.

Yepp, you mean the "the rover" part. Ive listened to both the original and my version now a couple of times and have had some revelations :P. Maybe ill give that part another try and post it...I just loooooove how it sounds when bonham does it:thumb:
