A little tracky-tracky.

Got aquainted using Kyle's old-school DrumKat. (There should be a picture of it in the vicinty of this post) For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a flat unit, with several pads on it that are used to trigger sounds on a drum brain - in this case an Alesis DM4. It's easier to record with at this stage because I don't have to deal with my full drum kit and assorted mics/cables/electronics. It takes a little getting used to especially the hi-hat pedal. It's either on or off, no in-between. It works for our purposes though.

Funny conversation of the night as Kyle was getting ready to do the guitar part:

Kyle: "Dude, I'm gonna need you to... uh... sing."
Me: "What?!? There's a reason I'm a drummer."

Suprisingly, I was able to make all the correct sounds. From a distance, it's possible it would sound like singing. Anyway, I think I ended up singing the song at least half a dozen times. At one point, Charity called (the songwriter). I let her hear what we had done up to that point and she was SO excited! Almost to the point of crying. Very touching. Made all the time spent on this project this afternoon worth it.

I think I'll just do some reading to wind down for the night.
