Here’s a little riff I came up with last week. Yes, I’m referring to it as “Steady Rollin’ Riff in E” — you should hear some of the stupid working titles I’ve got kicking around.
Having recently replaced all the drum heads on the kit in my home studio (the famous Kuki Kooks’ old drum set), I used this new song idea to test them out. The room is really small, and I don’t have a ton of experience recording drums, so it was an experiment in trying to get decent drum sounds (and performances) from a subpar room and a subpar drummer (me). The result: well, the drum sounds aren’t so great, but in the end, I just compressed the hell out of them and went with it. It’s just a little song idea demo anyway. I like the riff and the bass part, though, so I’m happy with the overall result. Enjoy!
