Monday Drumday: Yellow for Forkday

Time for another drum cover. This is another from the Drumeo library from Coldplay. This is rated as pretty simple and it mostly is apart from a few 'ghost' notes. It does have some variety as there are several different bass drum patterns through the song. This was only my second play-through of the song following the notation on my tablet.

I am playing my Roland TD-07KX kit on the LiveAcoustic preset. The tablet audio comes into that over Bluetooth and the audio output goes into my interface.

I wanted to try a different camera angle this time. My main webcam is not easy to move, so I set up my phone by my feet. I actually had a second webcam in front of me. I had two instances of the recording software running, but this other one did not save anything. I need to experiment with that, but did not have time today. I edited in Kdenlive, which I still have a lot to learn about. My priority is making music rather than messing around with the software, but I need to do both really to improve my videos.

Today is #Forkday for Hive celebrating three years since we became independent of toxic corporate control. I did a little power up to mark that achievement.

I need to rehearse some guitar and ukulele for a band gig at the weekend as well as recording a song I have been figuring out a fresh arrangement for.

Rock on!
