We added our vocalist two or three weeks ago and he still doesn't have fucking vocals yet either, so we may actually cancel the gig if he doesn't have anything by tuesday

today's the moment of truth

and a question for drummers....is it alot to ask for a drummer to learn 4 songs in a month and a half?

Have you met some drummers? It is.

Lando Griffin · Post by **Lando Griffin** » Wed May 03, 2006 12:58 pm

Yeah, true

When I was in my first band, I never paid attention to how the drum figures would line up with the riffs I played, cause I was 15 and didn't have alot of experience, and didn't really know what to look for in a drummer, or much about drumming in general. We brought our band into the studio and the producer pointed out how nothing really lined up/how the drums needed to accent some shit I was playing, etc., so he got behind the kit and showed us how it was done. So now I'm taking more time in rehersal to make sure that doesn't really happen again, but this drummer we have now is doing pretty good with that.

It's just frustrating cause I've written out our songs in MIDI on cakewalk, with drum tracks as a guideline (many of which are being used in the real songs), we've recorded the riffs and sent it to him, and we practiced alot but he misses transitions between the verse/chorus, plays the "half time" part where we would be at the normal tempo...just things like that. Yesterday he finally put it together where we could play the songs in their entirety and it sounds cohesive, but there are still sections that need to be tightened up. But yeah, I guess it SHOULD take much longer to get everything together since he's not playing "kick snare kick snare, 1 2 3 4!" like in my last band.

and PLEASE forgive the sloppiness, particularly on the triplet/2step part. I was tired and just trying to get the demo of it together, haha.

it's just me playing with drums I programmed using Leaf Drums. I played through my DOD Grunge pedal through my old as fuck Peavey Bandit 65 and recorded with Cool Edit using my 3 dollar radio shack mic.

haha I need to get a better recording setup. oh well. main point was just to get the ideas out for the drummer to learn the structure.

currently working on recording a demo for my band Rembrandt Profile! It's instrumental jazz/DM and stuff haha, but it's turning out great. I really enjoyed writing these tracks. I'm gonna be laying them down this week though.

Leafdrums is the sequencer, you get your own samples to load into it.

Lando Griffin · Post by **Lando Griffin** » Fri May 05, 2006 11:37 pm

So we had our first show today at this place in the student union. Mother fucking sound guy didn't know what he was doing so our first song got kind of fucked....the vocals in the monitors were so loud that I couldn't hear anyone else in the band, and neither could anyone else so it just fell apart. For the whole show he had the mics in front of guitar amps but didn't put them through to PA, so people on my side were like "yeah you sounded pretty good dude!!!" and people on the right side were like "dude, you gotta turn up!!!!"

We were supposed to have a 9:15 sound check and start our show at 10:15, but this band that was going on after us had all their shit set up, including this crazy keyboard set up, plus we had to set up an entirely different drum set (our drummer needed more mounted toms), so we didn't soundcheck till 10:00 so everything got kind of fucked. After the first song, things went pretty well though. But shiiiit haha, we spent so much time towards this, sucks the first impression was fucked up.

If you want an honest opinion, I think the keyboards are too prominant in the mix. Keys, especially organ sounds, are real obnoxious frequencies so they don't need to be pushed forward. I don't know how much loss you got from a rough mix to a myspace site, but the drums sound kind of flaccid and the vocals don't pop out enough for you to hear the enunciation.

I'm not going to critique the music itself because it's well-documented that it's not my thing, but production-wise, I'd be whipping that mixing engineer good.

Not bad. I think Catharsis is the best one. Kind of reminds me of Master of Puppets-era Metallica. Try elaborating on ideas like that more and thinking of different ways to incorporate that sound so you don't get locked into anything. I hope that made sense.

Doing pantera covers is cool... but stuff like Nugent, old Van Halen, or maybe some harder, less played out Judas Priest covers are what gets the crowd going.

Thanks dude. I don't really play that much technical stuff on my website or in my band's songs on our space. I never really do unless it fits I guess. I'm not obsessed with playing fast 100% of the time like a lot of guitarists.

Basically focusing on becoming a better songwriter. Yet, honestly I am not writing as many metal riffs or liste as much anymore, more so 70' rock riffs. I think my tastes or completley changing
