Drum Noodles

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

I recorded a few out of time and ham handed drum noodles for you to listen to, smirk during, and laugh about with friends.  It’s OK, go ahead, I’m just getting started.  This should (hopefully) improve with time.  There’s no foot work in these as it’s hard enough to make my hands behave at this point.  We’ll see about adding in serious foot pedals later.

I finally figured out what my MIDI problem was with my Yamaha DD-55 drums not playing into my Mac properly.  The cable.  You need to have a Yamaha UX16 USB-MIDI Interface or you’re in for a world of hurt.  Once I bought that cable and plugged it in, everything worked great!

So I can now play the DD-55 with GarageBand running and record every note as it clumsily stumbles out of my uncoordinated paws.  I hope to have a little time this weekend to record a few riffs and see if I can post them here.  Should be fun!

Oh, and I’ve sort of changed my mind about Shooter in the Abstract.  I was wrong.  I’m still sick of looking at it so a new version won’t be coming anytime soon.  I can tell that’s true because at the first sign of trouble, I lose interest completley.  I’m not ready yet.
