Hey,

I have created three drum videos now, which have kinda become a series. I will most liekly be making some more in the next few weeks, but I need to wait until the studio is free. The two latest videos are "The Pretender - Foo Fighters" and "Backwoods - Red Hot Chilli Peppers". I hope you enjoy and if you have any song ideas, feel free to share.

Very nice.  You should put down a lighter rug so that your feet can be seen in the overhead shots.

Well recording them in the studio was about 3 to 4 hours, which includes setting everything up and tearing it down. But sticking all of it together took about 4 days, but that's working on them on and off. I reckon it was about 6 to 8 hours to put them together.

Very good effort and I'm glad to see that you have kept your shirt on.

You know, not all our members remember to do that!
Not naming any <ahghRush%&''($urkAndrew&')$#Equals&%%$#Merklegrraak#$#"Love!> names, of course. Excuse me, I seem to have picked up a bit of a frog in my throat.

Anyhow, nice effort, Tom. Keep it up!

Thank you for all the feedback! When recording "The Pretender" we had problems with the audio coming back to me for a brief moment, so when it came back on I was relived that I was still in the same place. Plus a couple times before that recording, I messed up on one or two minor things. I did also experiment with the volume of the drums on various speakers and they were louder on some speakers than others. The level I have got them at is a ideal compromise.

I will be making another video with a mash up of different songs, which will be about 10 minutes long. The quality of the whole video will go up another notch.
