Eros' Flame (More Metal for your listening pleasure)

[Ferryman_1957]

Very impressive indeed. Great track, lots of depth and variation, I love the solo esepcially where it goes shredding at the end. The drumming is fantastic, love that bass drum work (I assume it's really fast bass drum predal work we are hearing?). Vox sound great, overall a really good example of the genre, and very well produced. You are dead right on the quality front. Stellar stuff!


Cheers,

hey thanks again for taking the time to listen

You actually are coming into your own in my opinion. You used to sound like Hetfield more, but i noticed you are getting your own style now.

You just totally made my day it's taken 2 years and I still have a long road to drive, but at least I have a grip on the steeringwheel now.

The drumming is fantastic, love that bass drum work (I assume it's really fast bass drum predal work we are hearing?).

Yes sir, it's the Tama "Iron Cobra Rolling Glide" Double Bass Pedal with plastic Beater's hitting a 22"x14" ImperialStar Bass Drum with the original Tama Factory clear skin.

 I decided to approach the drums just I like I do the guitars for laying down tracks. As you could probably tell, I used the A/B autopunch and recorded in sections, then copy/paste as needed, dubbing in fills etc. Previously I did a couple songs (drums) all in one sitting, and it just always sounded too live, too many little variances and mistakes because I am not good enough at drums, especially to play a song like this all the way through without messing up all over.

 A/B - copy/paste production adds a type of polish, that as long as you capture a live element as well as nail each section, re-using that section is very believeable, as well as pretty much simplifying your mix as your dynamics stay pretty equal through out the whole song. I guess you could call it cheating? I donno, it allows me to realize my idea's, and I am technically really playing it.

    Yep. My thoughts too.
       Amazing musicianship, the drumming is something else. Just watch that compression...you may have just squeezed a little too much out of the dynamics, causing the wow and flutter on your really heavy hammerhead sections. Were you using a frequency concious compressor?

That is some fanfreakingtastic musicianship your showing here !!!!!

I can't even begin to imagine what amount of practice it takes to get to this level !

But more importantly: It's a killer song !!! And yeah, like the others have said, it's great to hear YOUR voice! You've always amazed me with your fabulous guitarwork, but I'd forgotten you're a brilliant drummer as well!!! Cheating is perfectly OK by me and with this result, I know, you wouldn't sound half bad even playing it all the way through !!!

Production is great too, but I agree with henny, a little less compression would probably do the mix some good.

Nevertheless ... PiPod bound !!!

Great sounding metal, Dmann!!  That opening riff def reminds me a tad of Master of Puppets; can tell you've gotten some inspiration from Hetfield as well & prob Megadeth too ~ great well-played performance and production!   Luv them drums!
