I added another dimension for recording today, a Yamaha DD65, very compact electric drums. They arrived late this afternoon; too late to start recording from scratch, so I added a drum track to a previous recording...

Not so easy to do, since I haven't been working with a metronome or countdown for recording; makes me appreciate being able to play solo and not worry about dropping or picking up a beat.



Not much noise when plugged in directly to the recorder...



... as evidenced by my little furry girl sitting right in front of it. She always comes in to listen when I am playing guitar.

A reasonable drum sound, with lots of options; doesn't take up much space (it's a small room). I had a full set of drums back in the early 80s, but haven't picked up sticks since then... a bit of a learning curve.
