WE MUST RETURN TO CALFSKIN! THINK HOW MUCH WE DRUMMERS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO OUR PLANET'S PROBLEMS BY TURNING TO DRUMHEADS AND DRUM COVERINGS MADE OF PLASTIC AND ALUMINIUM RATHER THAN SKIN AND WOOD! BURN ACRYLIC DRUMS AND THEY PRODUCE CYANIDE GAS! REPENT! REPENT! WE MUST RESTORE BALANCE BACK TO LIFE ON THE PLANET! REAL CRAFTSMEN AND ARTISTS MUST BE PUT BACK TO WORK!electricit electricit electricit electricit electricit electricit

This song and the drum beat will be in your head all day after hearing it! It's good stuff for sure. I found that the upright bass player also produces and plays in some other rock-a-billy acts as well. Jimmy Sutton and the Four Charms, and also the Del Moroccos. Both very good groups.

Jeff - Welcome to the wonderful world of vinyl! Whip out all your old albums and have at them.In the late-nineties I recorded some stuff for a local New York cable program. When I listened to the playback, it didn't sound like me at all. The engineer had 'digitized' my takes and linked them to some kind of synch/click track that evens out your playing to the computer generated tempo. It made me sound like a damn electronic drum machine. He took all the overtones and sounds that I work hard to get and he literally sterilized my sound and my playing. I got into a huge argument with the guy who was producing the sessions (who was all of 22 years-old) and I tried to explain to him that he was taking the life (live-feel/real drummer) out of the music. Why the hell hire a real drummer and then make him sound like a computerized drum machine? I lost the argument of course and the music went out sounding like there were no live musicians playing on any of the recordings. It sounded sterile, mechanical and had no 'soul.' Like it was all created on a midi.There is nothing like analog (tape) for recreating a 'live band sound' on a recording. The 'warts,' the little inconsistencies, that the electronic whiz-kids were so diligently scrubbing out of the music is precisely the stuff that makes it sound good... like you're listening to a live band. I have a huge beef with all the reliance on digital this and digital that. It did not make the music better. The life has been taken out of everything. As far as I'm concerned, if you're going to digitize everything anyway, why bother hiring real musicians.Now that's one of my peeves. Mind Blowi I hope vinyl makes a come-back. I miss hearing the sound of a real band making real music.Rant over...John

Thank the stars someone else out there thinks like me (it must be a liver connection John) lol I hate digital and what it has done to music click tracks have taken the human element out of music choked the very life out of it,listen to Made in Japan by Deep purple may be the best live recording ever made.. now that is live rock and roll where is my milk thistle? Love ya John for turning me on to that stuff...

Click tracks and digital music have nothing to do with each other. Click tracks have existed since WAY before Deep Purple. They just used to use a metronome recorded to an (analog) audio track. Obviously, Made in Japan shows that Deep Purple could keep great time without one, but they've always been useful for count-ins and setting tempos in the studio. As long as there has been multi-tracking ('40s), there have been click tracks. There's nothing wrong with timekeepers - what do you think conductors are?

Stephen - We were talking about those digital processing filters that will alter/make your part follow a pre-set computer generated tempo... not ordinary click tracks. band3

John, I realize the generalization of the discussion, but you have to admit that he worded it as if click tracks and digital recording/processing were synonymous. For all the evils of digital recording, there are some great benefits too. Look at 2:36 in the video. See what's sitting on the desk in the back? A computer monitor, which means one thing - digital. Down comes the facade.

Carry on.

Relayer I stand by what I said, modern click tracks old whenever have been forced on drummers in studios for a long time and their only benefit is to help clueless engineers . I have recorded a ton of music some still out there on Cd and i have NEVER used one always refused and made them earn their money. If you (not you personally) are not a good enough time keeper then you know what you have to work on ,great live music is all about the drummer and bass player and if the tempo goes up or down a hair it is all just part of being human.

you take todays stuff it is all computed down to each beat and put together in segments not recorded live and is why music today sounds like $hit! just a bunch of 1's and 0's now this is just my opinion and i don't want to hijack a great thread so if you want to discuss further lets start our own thread.. peace
