Finding Reason auditions drummer...

Tonight Finding Reason auditioned a drummer. The drummer role has been missing from Finding Reason since the inception of the band. We've been using computer generated drum tracks to help us along the way. While some of the drum tracks are fairly decent, it's still not the same as having a real live drummer with you.

So, we piled our gear into greg's vehicle and went to Alvin to see what Mike had to offer. He's a pretty good drummer. He's way too loud though. My ears are pretty banged up right now. I think if we can get him to quiet down a bit, we'll be alright. We (meaning greg and I, since ben already has 'em) might go with in-ear monitors. That way we can set the volume we need and block out everything else. This should hopefully save our ears.

Mike has ample room for us to practice and some of the stuff we did last night sounded pretty good with him there. And he has not heard our stuff before and he added the beats with no problem. That definitely makes me the weakest musician of the group. I've been saying i need to start lessons. Perhaps it's time...

The next step is to get Mike mp3s of our current stuff and then start practicing. Perhaps we can start recording some of his takes and then we'll be able to post more to the website.

Finding Reason may have found reason to start producing more quality music...
Stay tuned for the latest.
