This is a drum cover (from the TRI-cam Series) of the Plus44's song, Lillian. if i look tired on this video, it's because it was the last of the set, after an hour of playing, so excuse the lack of smiles ;)

I have to emphasize, I know calling this a "cover" is wrong, seeing as I only PARTLY stayed true to the song's drums, through the WHOLE song i play some variations of the beats, phrasing and fills, I'm NOT aiming to be accurate to the original drums, I'm just aiming to enjoy myself.. :) And I thouroughly succeeded in doing that, I might add ;)

(+44) - Lillian from the 2006 release When Your Heart Stops Beating is the copyrigthed property of its owner.

*RECORDING*

I miced each individual drum, plus two overheads, ran this through a mixer, got a decent mix and recorded with ONLY *ONE* stereo channel.. no multitrack recorder(s) :) I compressed the final mix to HELL.. to get a more aggressive sound, to make it sit better in with the original song (and hopefully overpower the original drums), detailed compression settings: 20:1 with a threshold of -20db and a compensation gain of 15db, with both seperate channels (LEFT and RIGHT, from the mixer) sent to a stereo sub-group, and the compression settings applied to THIS group, it gave a nice compact and aggressive result.. further mastering was needed to equalize the final mix and control peak levels and such.

@rizzo123456789 I'm not Cobus level but im pretty damn good, and good guitar players are a dime a dozen. Now a bass player that kicks ass and connects with me...i fear i will never meet one.
