I improvised a sort of latin drum beat and overdubbed a funky little cowbell and put it up
on MySpace to download for free.
It was recorded in DP6 and although it's a tad sloppy here and there, the feel is good and could make a nice drum track for those of you tired of drum machines and overused drum loops.

I used a DW 9000 double bass drum pedal, with my left foot on both the left pedal of the kick and the pedal of the hi hat simultaniously (sp.). That's how I got to open and close the hi hat while still playing a 16th note pattern on the kick. It's a fun trick for drummers.
As I recall it's at 114 bpm but I might be wrong, I'll have to double check that if you need to know.

You're free to chop the hell out of it and do with it what you want.
But, if you use it please credit me on the liner notes of your project.

It is by no means a typical meat and potato back beat drum part so my suggestion is to either approach it with minimal instrumentation and vocal/narrative, or to write a melody in unison with the timbales and/or toms on certain sections. It could even be a heavy metal track with some creative power chords.

It's yours to do what you want with it.

Just my humble way of giving back to a forum I have so very much benefited from.

And download, "Drums Freestyle w/ added Cowbell $1.00" don't worry, it's free!
That's just my goofy title.

Enjoy,

I forgot to mention, that if you want custom drum parts in any tempo or time signature hit me up and I'll be happy to send drums to you in .wav format completely separated in a DP project, making it easy for you to mix the individual tracks of drum seperately.
I play almost all genres including, rock, dance, dubstep, reggae, blues, jazz, New Orleans (second line) swing, rockabilly, country, classical, military snare, alternative rock, house, techno, latin, african, avante garde, middle eastern, Japanese, and a boat load of percussive sound effects.

Just let me know and I'll be happy to collaborate.

Might be a silly question but how do you download from the myspace player?
I know they used to have a download option right there but I think it's been gone a long time.
Thanks for the beat by the way!

Oh, one other thing, I think if it is possible to download from myspace it would be 96kbps or some such.
A higher resolution file would be awesome.
Fantastic set of influences on your page, by the way!

It uploaded it at 320kbps so I would assume it would be of pretty good quality.
If you want a .wav file of it just send me your email address and I'll send it though YouSendit.com.

awesome! made me want to dance in the street.

How do I download it from myspace?

I checked the box that said 'allow users to download this song.'
I thought it was going to be easy.
If you can't download it send me your email address and I'll send it directly.

Wish I could just post it here but I don't know how.

If you can't download it from myspace (which I thought you could) let me know and I'll send it to you.

I won't pass on or share any email addresses, that's not my thing.

My direct email is: willlbr@earthlink.net

Got it, man. Really appreciate that.
