drum layering book

do you guys think its worth it. It looks really interesting. And I'm always down to learn new stuff. I'm probaly going to get it I jus wanted to see what your guys view was on it.

You said before that you were needing to make your drums sound better. I say go for. Its cheap anyway. Give us all a review and tell us what you learned.

yea I'm always down to learn as much as i can. I get it once I'm outta work, then on monday I'll let you guys know how it is.

looks interesting to me ima coppit

Don't you experiment????

Where's the "art" in learning art from a book???

Isn't "art" about creativity???

Sometimes its better to learn "art" from a book written by someone who knows more about the "art" than you can learn from trial and error on your own.

no...thats learning a trade....

art is self expression....

To answer your question yes I experiment. There mught be some useful tools or tips in that book.Different ways of doing things. Plus i'm tryin to learn art from a book. Its all about different things that spark creativity, whether it be a book, a movie, a sample, whatever. I'm just tryin learn new issh. "The greatest scientist are always artists as well".

Thats cool man...I was just hoping you weren't one of these jonny come latelys have mommy and daddy buy all the most high priced gear and read some books an shchit...

i learned a lot of what i know from books and other producers, engineers, and mixers.
learn all u can cause that is the difference between the weekend producers and the professionals.
also check the sound on sound website. a lot of good info there. if u just wanna make beats and wonder why yo sh!t don't sound as good as what is on the radio, then just go and experiment. if u wanna be real with this and aspire to be a professional, then read and get a mentor to learn the proper techniques. all aspects of music are related to math and math aint art. don't get it twisted music is artistic but there are certain rules to the game that we all must learn and follow (and break).

if u wanna hobby go knit a sweater

yeah i agree with gettin help. There is nothing wrong with getting insights and advice from experinced people. It just makes you able to make better music quicker. I bought mad books and read mad magazines when i first started and its helped alot for me to get me making decent music. WIthout that info i wouldnt be half as good as i am, or half as knowledgable as i am about production and recording. Read and digest every piece of info you can about this shit to make u more well rounded. Read interviews, magazines, websites, anything. Cause there is no cheat sheet to making good tracks, but a helping hand and info and insights to what other cats are doing is key to becoming better at anything.

anyone that has invested in "high priced gear" should read as many books concerning the use of their equipment as they can...
