Midnight at the Oasis - The Brand New Heavies - SJL Drums 2-19-2025 . . .
Every new song demands hours of work as the changes in 'key' requires all the drums to be re-tuned and new levels/dynamics set - but I am getting better at understanding it all . . .

More learning using YES:
(The drumming on this take is all me alone - I used that AI software to remove the original drummer's work).
Is this one I should keep trying to learn to play my version of-or should I just move-on and do something else?

Using fresh ears, I went back and remixed this ^ track.
Please enjoy . . . I am very tempted to try and sing along to this one for some reason . . . (sweet emotion . . .).

[I must be on a good trajectory with my mixes because I am getting ZERO complaints, critcisms nor suggestions/feedback of late].
Thanks to you guys who have offered past suggestions - couldn't have gotten this far without it.
Remix of Spanish Moon ^ . . .
Got rid of the muddiness and overpowering [loud] portions of my drums - made the the drums sound more organic/part of the original recording.
Lots of variables (especially in the dynamic range of each drum) to deal with so I'll not bore you with the hours spent . . .
