    For round 2 with David, we decided to make ANOTHER drum set out of complete JUNK and then attempt to record a song with it. This one was a lot of fun. Disclaimer: In total, we had 6 hours to do this entire video before I had to jump in a car to catch a flight back home. We both wished we would have had a longer time to sit with the "drum set", learn its sounds, and come up with parts for the song. But, we also wanted to finish the video so you all could see. Sometimes that's how it goes.

      @@StephenTaylorDrums I am having a really hard time believing it’s the actual pure bucket lid snare sound. In the beginning, the ghost notes were much more of the actual sound, (and the snare was repositioned) and it almost sounds like you are triggering another sound at higher volume with a gated side chain. I still think the original sound is in there, just very faintly. (Or possibly, it’s the actual sound, but split off into two channels, and you are still doing side chain shenanigans, which opens up a very compressed (pretty much limited) version of itself above a certain threshold).
