Dead Man's Hand

Big bowl of meh on this one. Had the idea for the drums but the guitar wasn't following suit.

Mmm cool intro.  I really like the shaker in the beginning.  I think the drums and guitar are blending well together.  Lol yesterday you tried to show me the drum beat by tapping on yourself...now I get it.

Still something to be proud of dude.  Production sounds good.  Mixed very well IMO.

It meshes together well bro good work this week

Piano outro adds a very nice touch.  I Agree with CoreyT and Joel, and if your serving this bowl of Meh I’d gladly eat a bowl bc this is a nice tune

The guitar might be doing it's own thing, I dig it anyway. Some beautiful chords and melodies, and I especially enjoyed that piano at the end heart

Ya, it was a melting pot of ideas for sure, and thank you! The piano is nothing compared to your work!

Hell yeah, let me get a bowl too.  The super quick percussion is perfect, I'm going to need to have to gank that approach from you some time to experiment with.

I think the thing I take away most from WB is the drumming. I absolutely love guitar but drums to me are my absolute passion.

Theres something I love about fast drums on a slower track. Its a contrast that has always caught my ear. Drums that arent stealing the show, but let you know theyre there. Really good tune this week Jim.

Those are pretty sick drums heart Don't be too hard on yourself!

Agree ^^

Tight groove for sure.

Big guitar sounds and drum fills.  Mellow and epic sound at the same time! Nice piano melody at the end.

Thanks man, I agree. I love slower guitar riffs with quick drums and tons of ghost notes.
Thanks dudes!

hahaha

mix is real nice, contrary to what you think, the guitar seems to have followed suit.

I'll have some of that meh, this is great.

Lovely relaxing vibe. Not much else to say, I really enjoyed this. What drums are those? They sound really familiar, but I'm not sure why big_smile

Thank you! This was EZdrummer 'Drums From Hell' kit. I love it.

Nice drum work! Really like the bit at the end with the piano.

The drums really stand out but everything is great. This has a really special hard to capture vibe like a worn photograph or film grain. For some reason it has a 90s rock vibe to me and I love those guitar tones. Just loaded with atmosphere.
