Cool. I went through a phase of trying to program drums and stuff because none of my friends were dedicated enough, but I just found it to be too rigid for what I was trying to do - it lost the spontaneity, and I was after a raw, real sound, which I know is possible, but I'm a guitarist/singer, not a computer programmer, so I gave up. Now I just hassle my drummer constantly and squeeze a jamming/recording session out of him whenever I possibly can. My friend who is a shit hot lead guitarist has recently moved back to London though, so things are looking up.
BTW, I'll buy one of your CDs to support a fellow musicman - which one do you think best shows what you're all about?
