The Drummer

I starting playing a drum part today onto one of the improv bits of guitar that I looped a few days ago. I used "Bossy", my Boss DR-5 drum machine/etc that is full of drum sounds, among other things. I tried many different kick drum sounds, came up with one and recorded just that onto a track. I actually played the pads throughout the session, so it consisted of human performances that I'll have to gussy up later to get my timing better! I found a different kit sound for the cymbals, and played those on another track. Same with the snare drum. I'll have to figure out exactly what I did later.. Then I rendered the track to a wav file, moved it via a USB stick to this computer, and am listening as I type. I'm listening for good bits that can be edited into an actual drum track. Ableton Live offers many ways of playing with beats with warp markers and slicing to midi files; more on all that later.
