Constructive Critique enCouraged

[latim]

Hello again fellas,

Prior to leaving for tour, I tracked down some skins and noise makers for a good friend. The album is finally out and is being sold on CDbaby and Amazon.

If you have the time, I would love your feedback and any critique for growth and insight!

Hi Tim,

I had a listen and thought you grooved well, had some nice ideas, and didn't get in the way of the music. You also locked nicely with the bass player.

Overall, great job....got any more audio?

Thanks Roy!

I appreciate the time you took the hear the samples out for input.

Here is another song that I dug up as I'm still trying to scramble to dig up all my files from my hosting site. I'm currently on the walmart dialup ISP at a whopping 24k baud rate!

Nice grooves. You were locked well with the bass player. I love the sound that you were getting from your bass drum too. What kind of China were you using? It sounded really cool. "Keep It In The Pocket". pt.

Hey pt,

Thanks for the feedback! The kick I used was a Yamaha maple custom along with the Russ Miller Sub Kick. I think that did well in adding a little more oomph. I used a Zildjian 16 low boy for this session.

Tim,

Does the name Funky Carnivore (Jerome) mean anything to you?

He participates at a bass forum I go to alot and apparantly he plays bass for Benny Mao. World's getting smaller!

Hey Daniel!

Yes, I know Jerome very well as we worked on this project together. There are bass players that we play with, and then, there are bass players that we make music and groove with. Jerome is one of my favs that I work with for our friend Benny, rock, pop, and special event bands.

Whoa! Hey Daniel! Yep, Tim and I are a frequent rhythm section pair, when he's not out on the road. Playing on this record was a lot of fun. I used my Tyler bass for most of it, and it rocked. Good to see you here!

Hey Funky,

Yeah, I visit Talkbass everyday but I don't post much. I thought I had seen the name Benny Mao in your signature and then Tim posted here about it and I knew it looked familiar.

Tyler makes a fantastic bass. I'd love to get my hands on one sometime. Your recorded tone on the samples I heard sounded amazing. Great job playing by both you guys!
