Hostile Takeover

[StephenM]

new mix from Audacity and better drums..

an instrumental for now...

HB guitar x2, Shecter Bass, Tama Imperialstar drums set.

There's a little squeak in the left speaker guitar for a tad at the start.  Otherwise I like the production on this.  It has that energy like in the first Aerosmith album or Thin Lizzy Jailbreak kind of vibe.
This has aggression in it.. I can sense it in the music.. so the title.

I may add vocals and a lead to this... but for now I wanted to get this on my phone so I can put it in my running jukebox...
I hear songcrafters folks on there quite often... I really like this station.

the drums, I am starting to get somewhere with my right foot and leg..ie the kick drum... it takes time to build up the muscles and develop the control necessary for nuance... and that is true of my arms and hands as well... but drumming shows me alot of secrets I did not know, and some of them are about music...lol..Not a valid attachment ID.

Hi Steve, back from a bit of a break from SC due to gigs, holiday, family illness ! Great track as it is and will be even greater with a vocal and some lead work. Definitely hearing a Thin Lizzy vibe. As a guitarist I don't pay as much attention to the drumming but you're getting really good !

wow, that was a nice distraction from my boring grading work. I liked the bell specialy.

[StephenM]

I think I have a unique opportunity here... have you ever been obsessed with a track... but you also don't quite love it... but you want it to completely kick ass? 

this is like that for me... and that opportunity is the drums... They aren't there just yet... I gotta play this alot more... most of the time.. I admit.. my drum practice is with out other instrumentation.

so I am going to use this track to continue developing as a drummer... I think, I believe I can get there.. and for what purpose?  really none other than knowing I did it... and I haven't done it yet... I hear glimpses of great drumming in here... but also nope!  Not yet... thank you for bearing with me on this...

but also maybe this will inspire something else... also last night I could hear some synth in here as well.

This DOES completely kick ass!

Yes, very cool......getting somewhere for sure...your drums sound better than that crazy guy from Metallica.......there is a nice swing going down, nice movement and pretty darn tight

[lg]

Oh, Yeah, this rocks!
It does sound a bit Jailbreak-ish doesn't it.
Very cool piece, but it does need vocals to put the icing on this cake!

Great track Stephen,  yes I can hear the Thin Lizzy influence .
For sure it would be great if you put vocals on it.
