**Scott Parnell** · 07-28-2004, 08:14 PM

I'm wanting to know if there are any bass players here and drummers here willing to collab with me and vanman2000 on a van halen tune.. We are looking into doing "Where Have All the good Times Gone" ... I want a real drummer and bass player for this tune if at all possible.. I have the guitar playing all set for the tune and my friend vanman2000 will be doing the vocals.. would really be sweet to have a drummer and a bass player to get this thing rolling..

I would be willing to do this drum track for you. Can't say when I'll be able to get it to you, but I'll try to get it to you soon.

sounds good to me Bryan. sounds like a plan. we are gonna rock with this one! how we do this? start with the drums then add bass then guitar? sugestions are great for this to make this thing sound great.

**VanMan2000** · 07-29-2004, 04:47 PM

drums are a good start, I can add bass and a scratch vocal for you to play to

**Scott Parnell** · 07-29-2004, 08:24 PM

cool sounds like a great plan to me that will get me going for saure to jam it once this all works out.

**Bryan Gibson** · 07-30-2004, 02:34 PM

I've got the drum track--rough, but it's there. Can't remember if I screwed up during the recording since I was rushed. If it's not acceptable, I'll do it again. How do I get this to you?

**Bryan Gibson** · 07-30-2004, 05:48 PM

Snag the drum track at http://home.insightbb.com/~anubis72/whatgtg.mp3

It's a 6meg file...at 192kbps. You will probably want to compress. I did some EQ on it, but not much. I can't seem to get my cymbals to sound better than garbage can lids--sorry. I guess it'll do.

**Scott Parnell** · 08-01-2004, 03:19 PM

cool man! sounded good for the drums.. only thing is it came acorss only one side for speakers on my end. did ya record them through 1 side? like the drums though! sounds very promising for sure.

**Bryan Gibson** · 08-01-2004, 05:31 PM

Unfortunately, it is a mono recording. I find that it sounds a bit better than making it a pseudo-stereo recording, as I have ONLY ONE MIC--UGH! Sorry...If it doesn't work out timing wise and whatnot, just let me know and I'll do another take. I usually just do one take...
