Today's dilemma is finding a good recorded drum solo for an upcoming performance. I love dancing to a drum solo....but with a live drummer. Unfortunately it's not always possible to have the luxury of a drummer at every gig. And so I am shopping for a solo that speaks to me.
It's much tougher than it sounds. There are some incredible drummers that have fantastic CD's available. Some of them are completely intimidating when I think of trying to keep up with the fast pace, quick changes & multiple layers of sounds.
And then some of the solos are simply not my style. So it is tougher than I imagined it to be. But I'll find a good one, I just know it.
When I first started to work with a drummer I was completely intimidated by the idea. Turns out it is one of the greatest and simplest ways to get over the big fear of a drum solo. Breaking down rhythms, being able to hear exactly what is being played, knowing for sure when a DUM is a DUM and a TEK is a TEK. I love it.
I am sure I'll find the right one...or at least the right one for right now.
Xx
