Hello, I've been a quiet lurker on this wonderful site for a few years. I've finally started to write and record some surf music. I thought I'd share one with you. I hope you like it! I apologize in advance for the programmed drums. I've got to get a live drummer on the track! I welcome your feedback! Steve p.s. I first mistakenly posted this on the Surf Videos forum. My apologies! |

Welcome and nice sounds! Really reminiscent of The Shadows tone. Seems like it needs a more defined bridge though; something to break-up the repetition of the main hook. I'm sure that would be easier with a live drummer. — |

Cool song, I dig it. I thought the programmed drums sounded pretty solid. Half the time when I program drums I actually spend the time adjusting the velocity and timing of every hit to make it more realistic and half the time I rough it out and I don't want to spend another second on it. Thanks for sharing! |

That sounded good, I really enjoyed it. I like the way you kept laying on that whammy bar. MooreLoud.com - A tribute to Dick Dale. New Singles "Finish Line" and "Paradiso" on Bandcamp and website. |
