Precious Lies-Original

John,

Cool song.     The drums seem like they are pulling back on the song,  I might look at a half-time shuffle to propel the song forward while not distracting from what is there.   I think it would work with your current bass line as well.      Listen to a song like Home Again by Steely Dan as a reference for this idea.   

If you have the Toontrack Custom and Vintage kit, check out Grooves ‘Swing 4/4 > Song 3 > 120bpm’   Some great fill ideas and cymbal variations in there as well.

Regards

You're right about those drums.  It does sound like something is, as you say, "pulling" them off.  It is an Eighties Pop pattern run at half speed and I was taking notice that some spots didn't seem to want to "fall into place" very easy.. I have the Toontrack Shuffle kit for keyboard but not the drums but I will take your suggestion and look into the Custom and Vintage kit.   Is that an EZX kit or a MIDI pack?

 

Thanks again!
