Background:
In addition to BiaB 2024, I treat myself to an electronic drum pad this year to continue my musical growth. This is a simple 2-chord wonder intended to “kick the tires” with the pad, hopefully I kept reasonable time with it. I played the kick drum with the left stick and the snare with the right.

Technicals:
90 BPM
BiaB:
RealTracks in style: ~907:Piano, Electric, Rhythm SmoothCool Dry Sw16 100
RealTracks in style: ~365:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085
RealTracks in song: 2019:Sax, Tenor, Soloist PopCountryMark Ev 085
Me:
Korg Synth
Fender Bass
Roland Sampling Drum Pad

Thanks for listening if you do and comments always welcome.

Keeping Time

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

A bassist expanding to drums. My, what IS the world coming to?? Ha!

Hey, I think you may have something there after all! Sounded in the pocket to me, but I'm not a drummer (or a bassist). The drum sample you used has a short, clicky sound that is easy to follow, but not my favorite percussive sample for this style of song. Anyway, fun tune! Wishing you many happy drumming adventures in the New Year...

Sounds like you are off to a great start. The drum and mix sound very good to me.

Ha Ha Ha. "What is the world coming to?"

No worries for Marty, Ray, Mario and my other bass playing brothers. Once a "bottom feeder" always a bottom feeder. smile

Cool song. I like those synth bits you have sprinkled in there. The drum seems a little to forward in the mix and separate from the rest of your fine band.

Thanks for the listen Storm.
Yeah, I'm sure I've got a ways to go to get better sound out of these pads . . . but they sure are fun!

Cool piece. Interesting how you mixed the kick. It grew on me as song progressed. Well done.

Yeah, that "kick" (left stick pattern) just sort of came to me.
There is a ton to explore in that pad.
Thanks for listening.
