I purchased a new electronic drum set about 4 months ago... never having even played the drums before... so I figured it'd be something new and fun to learn. Below is my first take/attempt at an old Judas Priest song "Living After Midnight".

Vocals: Me
Lead Guitar: Me
Rhythm Guitar: Me
Bass Guitar: Me
Drums: Me

So... I have nobody to blame but myself for all the mess-ups! Rolling Eyes

It was a fun little project though. I wanted to see what it would be like to do a whole song-- all instruments, never having done that before. I added some delay & reverb effects to my voice because I'm not normally a singer. I dubbed in bass guitar using my Radias keyboards (also my first attempt at EVER playing bass). I did go back and add a couple of extra cymbal hits to the final mix... probably over-did that a little. It's obvious I don't know all the vocal parts, escpecially the "Got gleaming chrome, reflecting steel" verse! Too many popping sounds on the vocals. Drum Timing is off fairly often. Didn't know how to fade the song out across multiple tracks at the end while using Pro Tools. Oh well, I had fun with it anyways. I know it sucks but it could be way worse. It was pretty much a first take for everything... I just kept layering. Laughing
