True Blood

The Lost Hounds have finished our 3rd song but with it being so close to the end date we have decided to do a cover song instead of another original. The cover we're doing is Bad Things by Jace Everett (also known as the theme to True Blood, an american HBO series).

I've now found out that i have passed all of my subjects. Daw being the final one. And all i have to do now is wait to find out whether i got a B (or higher) in my Graded Unit so that i can come back next year and study my HND Music Performance. Fingers Crossed........

Nick Young....x

So...... the Lost Hounds have now written another song and have started the beginnings of another. Both of which sound really bluesy and fun. not too 'Blues' or slightly sad in a way..... More up beat and stuff.

 In DAW i needed Nick Young to put down a guitar solo for my project and i kind of fell in love with him slightly. the combo of his playing style and clothing style is a match only Jesus could invent.... So now i'm almost finished my project and all i need to do is vocals then master it.... DONE!!

On a rudimentry note, i'm getting better and have been told by the other drummers, although i still have a hell of a lot of pracicing to do if i want to get as good as i can be.

The Lost Hounds

Started with the Lost Hounds this week and so far have one song written by the great Bob Hollis ;) called 'Lonely Road'. Sounds good and i look forward to hearing it recorded in the future.

 Just the usual is going on at home though, just rudiments and my double technique. Nothing special so far... Although i can see myself getting faster and smoother.

Doubles!! :(

So i've been working on my doubles more often now because it will (aparently) make my rudiments quicker and more smooth. so what i've been doing is sitting infront of the TV (not as procrastinating as it sounds) and slowly building up my 'better' technique of doubles. . . . . So far i feel as though i've torn a ligament in my left arm due to too much practicing.

 But i've also been rehearsing with my band back at home "Vulpe" and we'll hopefully get a few songs done before summer so we can then look for some gigs.
