BTE would be cringing at where this thread is going. Sacrifice the drummer for productions sake. lol

Hey, I'm not sacrificing the drummer! The drummers that work with me are more rock oriented. These songs won't benefit from the rock treatment therefore I attempted the task on my own. I'm going for simple here. I'm a little shakey on the drums so I had to do some digital editing to tighten it up. I think BTE would be happy to know I didn't go straight for the drum machine and gave it my best shot using real drums. As shakey as my drumming is, the track still has more life than if I used a beat box. We'll have to wait 'till the song is finished before we pass judgement on it.

Real drummers can't be beat ( :0), but I'm not in a situation where I can record a drum kit these days. Too little space, too little sound-proofing, too few mics. So, for the moment, I have to make do with the drum kits in Logic.
