I have always been confused by the drum intro on Led Zeppelin’s “Rock & Roll”. I loved the song anyway, so it never bothered me too much. I would like to throw it into some cover sets, so I finally brought it into ProTools to hear it in context. Here are my results.
As you see, the first drum hit is actually on a pickup eighth not (the 3 AND beat). I mixed it down too.
Here’s the MP3: “Rock & Roll” by Led Zeppelin with 2 Bar Click.
Let me know if it helps.

I just wanted to give a big shout out to Guerilla Drum Making. Thanks to them I made a custom snare drum with fantastic results for just the cost of the parts. I am not good with crafts or handiwork, so if I can do it, anyone can. The DVD should not be your only source for advice, but the DVD’s companion website gives plenty of helpful links that nearly guarantee your success.
It was a scary but rewarding process. I’m not rushing into the custom drum-making business, so I don’t know when I’ll make another drum, but for a $40 DVD, I saved hundreds from ordering a custom drum.

If you don’t want to spend the money and have comparable results with the standard software, here’s what you can do. Read the rest of this entry »
