Waves Of Mercury Drum Recordings

I thought it would be really fast and easy today, but recording some of those drum parts was absolutely difficult!
We re-recorded two we did the other day, so we had 9 songs to do today.

We spent about an hour on one song, didn't get a good take and moved to the next one. We then had troubles with that one, so we (and by WE I mean Me- the drummer) went back to the one we spent an hour on...and after four takes, I nailed it!

I'm pretty sure that all the drums are now finished, but I'll make quick mixes with the scratch guitar and listen to them a few times.

Cross your fingers!

Recording Drums

Whenever we get set to record drums, I'm at my all time most nervous.
It usually is a full day and I want to record them all in one shot...which ended up being 9 hours for "The Great Darkness."

Well, Greg and I got together tonight to get the drum sound set for Saturday and in doing so...we recorded half the drum parts!

The drum sound was awesome and I was confident in my parts to go ahead and record.

So far, none of the songs have names and they're just titled song 1-5, but here is a little info on how fast I did the first five drum tracks.

Track 1 - 4th take was the keeper
Track 2 - 3rd take
Track 3 -3rd take
Track 4 - 6th take...and most of the time we were fairly close to the end...I think? This one does have a title and lyrics, it's called "December"
Track 5 - 15th take...we have two versions recorded and the first was take 10, but the second is the keeper.

I hope things go as smooth on Saturday!
