Permalink Monster Wave - a new song for feedback

New Topic
Page 1 of 1

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.

Many thanks Las Barracudas! That's very helpful advice and something I'll work on.

Steve

For me this sounds great!
Programmed drumming? Sounds better than some drummers I have played with! Really!
The song is very exciting all in all!! I like the melody and the mood a lot!
I just would say there is a little bit too much treble in the guitar sound!?
whatever, keep playing and make more own songs!!!
Much better than Shadows!!

Twang cheers!

Thank you all for the helpful and encouraging feedback! I'll definitely work to submit something for the annual compilation.

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. Thumbs Up
