Iām going to miss him. Heās become a really dear friend. Our plans for retirement revolve around moving to be close to them.
A little fat boy slim type vibe
Looks great. The corners get dark and the small pieces might be in a shadow. Maybe swap them.

They have to go in a certain order. Airman Basic on the upper left, right side are field grade and staff rank and the center are his generalās stars. As it will be hung on the wall it will be properly illuminated.

Gawd damnā¦your sense of rhythm is great, even with the electronic stuff. I would inject WD40 into my rusted fingers in order to play bass with you, what a musical challenge that would be!
Please, Alan, tell us some more about this person who you so lovingly made this forā¦an officer? A fellow soldier? A dear friend? All three?

My closest friend and is retiring as a lieutenant general (3 stars) of the Air Force. He was, or is, responsible for about 50 installations around the country. Anything to do with space or cyber. It was a surprise that he was stationed here for his last duty. Itās been good.

OK so hereās another one I put together in a few hours this morning. Again these are juset scratchpad ideas I have constanly coming into my head. Iām really getting more comfortable with the jazz drumming in spite of the fact there are no brushes in the iPad touch kit.
Itās dedicated to my favorite frozen treat
Itās not a magnum @daz49 but theyāre pretty darn good.

Nice!
One of the congos is getting quantized a little late
Thanks.
That would be because itās turned off.
I try my best to avoid any digital āhelpā that affects the mechanics in an effort to improve my internal meter. Leaves that little bit of slop to maintain a less āprogrammedā sound.
These multi track recordings are just for scratch padding all the little grooves and riffs I hear in my head to make them go away. Itās strictly a means of catharsis. Sometimes I work on part and pieces and have it turn out that Iām actually just covering something I heard on the jazz radio or any of the hundreds of thousands of songs Iāve heard over my lifetime.
I really like using the iOS version of garage band better since the metronome is SO much louder
I recorded the conga track on the OS X version with the much quieter metronome using my Carbon 49 controller.

I put a compressor on my metronome in Logic Pro itās called a klogenspiel or something
Thanks to some 0% holiday financing offers, I was able to pick up a much coveted Fender Mustang bass and and 300W Ashdown combo amp with 2x10 speaker config. Now on to my next obsession!
