 | Well it is now exactly 4 months (I think) since I first made a track, and to continue with my development I am now
 working on my drum programming.
 
 This track, as the title suggests is 2 minutes long, and
 demonstrates what I have learnt over the past 4 months in
 drums.  I would appreciate it if you would give it a listen
 and tell me what you think :)
 
 Also if you have a chance listen to the 30 second snippet of
 granuslags, a track off my forthcoming EP.
 
 Kind Regards
 
 Lee
 
 THE GOD DAMN MUSIC IS HERE :D!!!!
 
 btw...I am very happy today and I love you all.

 | I liked the beginning, but the beat kinda spoiled the feel ! Rip it off and focus on developing the beginning section and
 it'll be really nice !

 Although I have made me a class sounding synth in Reaktor
 and my new track is going to be based on that :P

 | thats some good beats but the levels arent right between the two
 you need to bring both into the foreground

 | Thanks for commenting :) 
 I know what you are saying about the levels, had it of been
 a proper track I would have done that but it is literally
 just an experiment with the drums :)
 
 Anyone listened to granuslags yet?

 | i realize the beats are the focus of the track but i think the melody gets a little grating and uninteresting after a
 while. i think you should change it all together into
 something more pleasant to contrast the harshness of the
 beats.
 the drum programming is good but i would suggest a couple
 things.  first, you ought to have a few more breaks, like
 pauses between all the spastic bits.  it would grab
 attention more and give a little more dimension to the
 rhythm.  also, you should vary up the drum sounds a bit more
 since it is the focus of the track.  add a few more
 different kinds of sounds or add some subtle eq or wah or
 flang effects.  just to mix up the sounds a bit.  don't
 over-do the effects though, at least not through the whole
 track.  you wanna try to keep the drums sounding crisp.
 
 but that's just my opinion.  not trying to patronize you or
 anything.  its impressive work for only 4 months.

 | thanks for listening :) 
 I am having second thoughts about having posted the track
 now.  I do actually take on board your comments about the
 pauses, it is a good suggestion, but as mentioned previously
 it is not a 'track' as such.  It is more an experimental
 peice where I was literally seeing what I could do with drum
 programming, I initially never intended to post it on the
 board but I thought it would be interesting to see whether
 people thought I was on the right track.  I have done a few
 experiments with adding effects to the drums (granuslags on
 my zebox page is one of them) but I will keep working and
 hopefull by the time I come to post my 6 month track it will
 be a proper track with all the bells and whistles.
 
 Thanks again for listening, I really do appreciate it :D

 | yeah i get it, i'm just saying, an experiment can evolve into something better.
 
 if you add to it or change it or remix it later or whatever,
 you should post the updated version.  i would be interested
 to hear it.
