Re: loops with a drummer?



Hi Todd !!!!.... you should come sit in on my gig some time.... I love 
violin. Both Christian Howes and Jason Crosby have sat in and had fun.

I use an RC50 and me and the drummer both listen to the guide track while 
playing.

That's the only way I've found that doesn't force my gtr to be the time 
keeper. To me it sounds a lot better when my gtr is not the time keeper. 
That way I can play more greasy, behind the beat, and the drummer knows 
where I'm feeling it cause he can hear the click. This way it keeps the 
forward motion going.

I do this weekly with all NYC's best drummers...
