I've got a bazillion riffs and musical ideas in my head and I just wanna write a whole lot of songs.
But the fucking drums man, the goddamn fucking drums.
I go to start programming drums and then I just want to go outside and start breaking things.
I have no idea how to make it sound like musical drumming and worse still, I get so fucking frustrated I end up quitting the project before it's even 1/100th complete, so effectively I just never end up writing full songs.
I try reading some threads around here, old threads, about programming advice and patterns for drums and how a real drummer would go about it, I try listening to my favorite drummers and seeing what I can pick up with my ears, but I can't get my head around it at all. It either just doesn't make sense and I can't understand it (the reading, or what I'm listening to) or I just have no idea how to get the drum patterns I hear in my head down into reality.
I just wanna finish a goddamn song, post it up here or at other forums and say "Guys, check out this shit I wrote, I wanna know if you dig it", but I just can't, can't get a single complete song finished just because of goddamn drum programming
I hear some of the drum programming around here, like JeffTD for example and think "Fuck, who do these muthafuckers do this so well, without feeling the need to pull out hairs from their scalp?"
Am I the only guy around here with this issue?
