Anyone want to lay down drum tracks we can jam/record to?

[zachoff]

We used to do this over in Harmony Central and it was fun.  Send out an mp3 of the drum track and we all record guitar and/or bass and/or vocals over it & see what everyone comes up with.  If it's been done w/ not many people doing it then cool.  I haven't been around a super long time.

Dig it. I'm in. Would give me a reason to get some recording shit going..I can't do drums however..I'm a taker..

(Gabe, did you ever get your Zoom H4n?)

I'm about to buy an H4n...

No, just before I got it a friend of mine gave me a Roland Edirol R-09HR.

How long should the drumtrack be? 

[VOLVO)))]

record, keep it kind of structured, I know it's hard to drum without riffage, but try not to do wonky amounts of anything... Stick to 4's, 6's, 8's etc in terms of repeats on beats before changes. Style doesn't really matter, long as something usable to fiddle with shows up. I'll adapt to most anything.

Should we decide on a set tuning? Eb? C? D, or should we just all go with whatever? Different strokez.

I say keep it to about 2 minutes or so, just so it doesn't get out of hand in terms of taking weeks to write it. Jam over it for a bit, then record! Too much thinking = too much bullshit.

Also, Zach, what are the drum size requirements?

  GET ON IT, SOMEONE.

I'll even accept one drum track, and ALL of us will write a song based off of it.

If I can get my shit together I'll try and record a drum track through my H4.  I'll try and keep it simple.

It's pretty fun what people come up with when they figure out a song you wrote in an open tuning and they are tuned to standard.

I've got 5 minutes of air raid siren that will go great with this.

I used to have a recorded earthquake. If anyone has some earthquake, I'd love to have it again.

[Discö Rice]

So this turned into a dubstep exercise?

[Hemisaurus]

I guess I was dubstep before there was dubstep

Seriously though, you should be able to make a decent track to anything, you could look on it as a challenge. I've been jamming to the Tabla loops app on the iPad and coming up with some nice dubby lines.

Also worth noting, there are those files of isolated Bonham outtakes online. Could always jam over one of those...or do some creative editing with a few.

Which reminds me that most drummers don't know how to tune drums.
A well tuned set sounds well tuned.

(Tho I have to cheat and use a tension gauge.)
