So here's what I do. I'm a drummer, sort of. I've jammed with people over the years - some college friends, some co-workers, but most notably my old high school buddy, Erik, who once long, long ago came to Hollywood to go to Musicians Institute to learn to be a "real" guitarist. Not me, though. I came to Hollywood to get a job. Rock and roll or money, rock and roll or money. I'm too much of a realist so I went for the money.
Sometimes in the cold and dark I wonder 'what if', but not very often.
Having said that, I have a kit and love to bang on it still. But what I do here is simply all software instruments and/or loops just for the fun of it. I don't play guitar and I don't really play keyboards much, though I had 5 years of piano lessons as a kid... when I least wanted to do it, of course. How I wish I'd paid more attention and learned better... sigh.
I have an M-Audio keystation midi and I'll riff on that a bit, record something and then usually spend most of my time manually editing and reworking it in GarageBand, trying to get it to sound as close to the real thing as I can; changing up the software instruments, tweaking their default settings, mixing and re-mixing - just playing around basically.
I have recently been using EZDrummer's Drumkit From Hell in my tracks. It's awesome.
So in a nutshell, I'm screwing around to entertain myself mostly. And I'm far from prolific. If I can knock out one tune in a year I feel like I'm doing good. If you guys can enjoy anything I do, that's just extra awesome. If you hate it, don't hesitate to tell me that, too.
GarageBand has basically allowed me to actually create my own music for the first time ever - I never played with midis before, or any other software. GB came free on a Mac and I got hooked. (Did I mention I sometimes have a motivation problem?)
Hope you enjoy my simple offerings.
Peace!
Brad
