Thank you.
I could just smack my metal sink with a spoon and duplicate... when I say I can't actually listen to that snare sound I wasn't being funny. It actually disrupts my brain. Its terrible. Unlike my snare sound which has body and absolutely slaps.
Plus, and this is the biggie for me, he already had a fully prepared song for said drums. Which in my opinion null and voids the whole idea of this threads.. you can't show up to the fresh races and be granted 3 car lengths, this is not Pinks All Out.
Drum track has to be non associated if this format is going to actually make any sense at all. Otherwise we should just accept whatever drums we want to bring like Dan just did. And that takes us right back to original riff war format which is basically "Run what you brung".
What I would have done here as the original poster to make it work like she envisioned, is post the rules, with a set drum track that nobody participating wrote or had for years (like dan) The blank drum track is the key to the entire idea. If Dan gets to just toss up fully worked over pieces then we are getting away from what I thought was obviously the point of this thread... which is a fresh drum track, and everyone puts their take on it with no previous bullshit. Not dans drum track he wrote a song over already. It's re hashing what I've already done to him before.
If this is a match up formula ,and he is one of the participants, we can't use his old drums. It defeats the format. That's like having a lottery drawing and letting Dan pick the balls.
And it's crazy to believe, that only 3 people can program a drum track in here that sounds decent. I worked for alot of hours on the actual sounds and tone eq of the drums I use, so I get not everyone wants to do that but damn....
Dan is being given a pass for uploading an old song and drum track, which required zero effort or new writing of any type. He can't even be a legit participant because he hasn't even wrote anything for this thread in reality. Tell me I'm wrong...
I guess I should upload my old tracks and isolate the drums, and then pretend I wrote the riffs later. I could. I guess.
Only way to make it fair is fresh unbiased drum tracks. We can riff war anytime but if someone calls me to a tournament I expect the shit to be ran right.

If I were to write a riff that's tighter or in otherways more awesome than one of Dan's riffs, he could learn from it, to improve his own stuff, because he can see a difference. If you are already top-dog in your own mind---> zero room for improvement plus, not to mention a very possible total detachment from reality. Head in the sand and all that.
So, take it from someone who actually has lots of Polish blood (yeah, I remember your little Borat-stint
) running through his veins:i dlatego ten opancerzony husarz zawsze będzie większy.

You'd like the original riffwarz concept. You can share those clips in riff battles and as long as it's original material you're good to go. This thread is an attempt to further format the idea and seems like they want a bracket tournament, but the groundwork isn't layed right.
... it's too long for a riff competition so its more of a whole song vibe, thats fine but most here arent doing that in general. His trqxk was pre recorded so he didnt weite anything new for this challenge anyway...
The snare sounds like unbearable tin asshole. I'm definitely not writing 3 whatever minutes of badass riffs to the 3rd worst drums in history, that's just disrespectful to the riffs. More power to those who don't care about drum sounds though, some folks are happy with spam on crackers and thats totally fine.
Frankly, for me, it doesn't matter either way currently because my PC with the DAW and reaper on it needs a new power supply, Ive neglected it for 2 months now & I can't actually record anything. PC wont boot up
Honestly......
I'm just here on a technicality rn because everyone knows who the General of the riffwarz army is around here and they expect my precense at all these events now.

Its not reservations, it's standards for tournament. Without rules we are no better than the animals according to the high table.
This thread should be renamed:
"Dan's old tracks competition hosted by Dan's song written by Dan"
Because that's all it is, currently.

Perhaps you have gotten your humility afterall. Chugg bows out

I bow to no man and this includes not submitting to Dan's shitty drum tracks.
If he isn't bad ass enough to write off the cuff to some new drums then he isn't worth me fiddling around with a track I already dislike.
This thread had a goal and no direction to get there. Accepting Dan's drum track sealed the deal, it's a sham and has to be re done
I walk my own path, and that path don't include playing my riffs over this turd of a drum track while the turd who gets praised for the drum track didn't write a damn thing. Just uploaded old material.
Yeah I'm totally good on where this is headed

I might have my power supply fixed by the time this wraps up. I just need to order it and install it when it gets here. Just haven't ordered it. Been busy af. I'll definitely throw down to my own drums tho in this thread. I'll fuck hard with that.
I'll order a power supply tonight, keep playing with me.
