Yea kevin, I'm growing to totally dislike my drum pattern choises too. LOL But, it's all I got for now. ... I just listened to your two open mic sogs. Those drum patterns, I assume from BIAB, are really good. And I noticed you even have "intro" patterns within verses and from verse to chorus. ... phil g.
"The Bup Bup Song" uses BIAB bass and drums, while on "Slightly Out of Phase" (a song that OD hates by the way -- ha, ha) I am playing everything. I have a little roland spd-20 drum machine that I am playing "congas" with my hands. I did OK, but I am going to re-record that part of it. I really suggest that you buy a tambourine, shaker and maybe a kick drum or cajon to get that rhythm going. It really doesn't take too, too long to get acceptable percussion sounds, but like everything else, nothing is easy.
