The bass that No1 last week may be number 2 or more for next few months, so difficult to answer.

Have you tried copying the link? Loving your song

Song about a zoo and ice cream that makes no sense at all. the lyrics don`t. I tried reggae this time. I played and recorded the drums first, kick, snare rim, and hat, the beat has a slight variation in the chorus. Four guitar tracks recorded with SM57 against Marshall amp , one with a wah. Bass recorded with AKG d112 against bass amp. steel drums and trumpets played with a keyboard. Four vocal (ish) tracks recorded separately. Once the vocals recorded, I added few percussions with my drum kit, snare , toms, cow bell, cymbals etc.

I wish , you couldn't drop that thing in the loo even if you wanted to.

It's the small predictive keyboard on my android phone, do you know what Android phones are? 🤭

I'll hear my done by 10 pm ish

Just watching Reggae in Babylon on Netflix

I stay tuned in to Planet Rock, safest

It wasn't quick enough not screenshot,but worth mentioning in case the site is affected

When I logged into my BC account a few minutes ago from my mobile phone, I had a notification in the top right corner that I had two new personal messages. At the bottom of the app a brief message with the word "spam" showed up. When I clicked on the envelope icon , there were no new messages. Does BC automatically delete/filters out these?

Has this gone?

Playing reggae drums. As a rock and metal head , I have no idea why. But I believe it improves overall timing.

That's brilliant, I have a spare snare, and already tightened the batter head to get that reggae tone. I have been watching a few tutorial videos on YT to learn a couple of basics and dad3353 has also gave some valuable advice.

As long as it's not bagpipes

As above I do intend to sell a couple of bits. But already bought a lovely 8x8 tom to expand my drum kit, put a new Remo skin on.

I usually do quarter and eights, I find playing quarter notes harder at faster tempo. And with eights I can do what I call irregular beat with kick drum and use occasional triplets. Sorry Op for hijacking the thread. Maybe low level/ part time professional bassist reading music can do anything at short notice if they read music. But lots of professional rock starts can't read music. As far as I am concerned if your main income comes from playing or teaching bass, you're a professional?

I presume it's 1 2 3 4 then 1 2 3 4. 5...8? Sort of. But I never think that way, I don't involve theory when I play, or notes. I just play if that makes sense.Had one drum lesson last year, the guy threw notes at me straight away. Never went back again. I more like show me how it's done and I do it, or self teach most times.

Makes it look easy but it ain't

I'm getting the basics as you described, but often end up reversing the beat.

So, I've been trying to learn to play reggae drum groves. Simple grove.. every 2nd and 4th note hi hat and every 4th note snare rim and kick. But, to keep it consistent and dynamic, it's simply bl00dy hard. I'm a metal fan ,but playing reggae is hard. At least I find it hard.

You are good, if you know what you play as I have no idea what you are talking about. I don't know what quarter and eight notes are.

I rarely sit down and just listen to music, but yesterday I set the back rest of the gaming chair ( I don't play games) almost into laying position whilst listening to Killers LP by Iron Maiden. Engineering on that album is phenomenal. Otherwise I listen to the good old Planet Rock. Love it

I don't measure string heights, ever. I even have string height adjustment tool. Inset it at a comfortable level whilst keeping the buzzing low if none is not an option.

So, supposing you see something in the market place or else you always wanted but at a affordable price, you will say no. I think not. It's like joining the gym in January......
