Drum Solo: Tony Royster Jr.

You don’t need to be able to play drums to appreciate the talent that this kid has:

BTW, that was Tony Royster Jr. at age 12. He’s now grown up now. And speaking of drummers, VanTan laments the (yet to be confirmed) loss of the drummer in her jazz band, Moonjumpers.

Brief notes:
- The drum beat was from the GarageBand factory loop, with the tempo set at 95 Beats Per Sec.
- All other tracks were recorded as ‘Live Instrument’ tracks, with one electric guitar and edited with different GarageBand guitar effects.
- I’d estimate the total recording time to be around… oh, I don’t know. Many many hours!* Time is spent re-recording ‘cos my guitar playing is really unpolished. I needed several takes just for simple riffs, like the solo (it starts at the 3rd minute).
[* I told a friend that it took me many nights in August, and quite a few in September too! LOL. The solo that starts around the 3rd minute already took around five hours just to get it right.]
