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 !

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.
