Bad Breaks (Rock Ballad)

[stoman]

Eric Savoie wrote this song. He plays the guitar (both acoustic and electric) and he is also the singer. I added all the other parts (piano, organ, synth, drums) except the bass. In this version a guy from a German homerecording site played the bass on top of the MP3 bedtrack that I had made for him. I don't have his sep though as he did not record his take separately. The plan had been to wait for real drums and then play the bass part "decently" (although I like it as is).

However, we haven't yet been able to find a drummer, so I probably will so some more fine-tuning to the synth drums and leave them in. Unless there is a drummer here who'd like to give it a shot ...

I love this song (even as this), and IMO it would be a great pity if it wouldn't get finished.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I'm just back from shopping. Took the wrong bus home and enjoyed a long march in the cold rain. Wouldn't be surprised to be sick tomorrow ... Good to read some nice comments that make me feel comfy again. Thanks for that!

@drumbum:
Great that you are interested in doing drums for the song. Will you be able to provide individual seps for mixing?
