Ez drummer and writing
Posted: Thu Aug 13, 2015 11:10 am
One of the ways I like to convey song and riff ideas to the band is to write and record a track at home and send them that.
I use ez drummer to put basic rhythms on and let the drummer come up with whatever he feels fits.
Sometimes though I want the drums to do something in particular in relation to a riff, but being a non drummer I have a hard time writing and conveying this.
I've edited EZ drummer tracks before, but usually it's a case of adding another kick or something, really simple, and even then it's a really time consuming process.
Does anyone have any good links to tutorials on this stuff, or ideas on how to write or convey song/drum ideas for a drum dummy?
How do you guys do it?
Or is a case of keep it simple, then work on the finer ideas during rehearsal?
