Halfway There
I had a good night of recording tonight. I laid down tracks for five songs, which is half of the album for me (one song doesn’t have drums). My next scheduled night for recording will be Friday. I’m not anticipating getting done, but it would be nice. I should have everything finished by next Tuesday, though.
The decision to use different snare drums on different songs has seemed to be a good one. After listening back to what I recorded tonight, I’m liking the sounds I’m getting much better.
I’m also considering doing some percussion overdubs on several songs - shaker, djembe (pronounced “jim-bay”), etc. It’s always good to use my creativity to dream up what sort of sounds will be good for the songs. It’s actually a great challenge for me - I’m typically satisfied with laying down basic drum tracks. But, I want this album to be great, so I’m doing my part to make it that way!
Pictures on the way….
