The Debutante Hour - Croak, Hiss and Sputter

If I ever manage to fully comprehend the drums in this song, I may have to make a DTX of it. Just a super-charming, cute song, with a video to match.

Off topic, I will try to finish Inner Core soon. That's my current DTX-in-progress, but my computer messing up really threw me off my game.

George Washington *Version 2* New & Improved!

I'm enjoying my nice lazy 3-day weekend, chillin', eatin' Chinese food and playing Killer 7.....so I didn't feel like turning into "Crazy tunnel-vision DTX-makin' man" (which turns me into a zombie for about 10 hours), but I didn't want to not release anything at all.......so here it is:

A slightly more competent remake of my very first DTX simfile, about the nation's first badass. Only a little late for Independence Day. The Basic version is almost the same as my original version from last year. The Extreme version is harder, but still not "hard".

This one also has a preview, result images, and all the fancy stuff I didn't know how to do before. Funnily enough, I sampled the keysounds from the song when I originally made it, but I added a few new ones that I didn't know how to incorporate before.

Beastie Boys - Shake Your Rump

This song is awesome. One of my favorite Beasties songs, and one of the best ones on Paul's Boutique. Lots of neat drumming action in this one. 95% of the keysounds are sampled from the song. It's probably not even worth trying to play this one with the keysounds turned off. It took about a week to do. I didn't rush or set any particular timeline for myself. It was kinda like "it's done when it's done". I was sick for the making of most of it, so that was probably for the best. I hope you guys enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it. Make it funky. Free James Brown!

Comments and snacks are appreciated.

Hyde - Masquerade

It's finally done! Another awesome drumming song from Hyde. This one has a lot of cymbals. Though not shown here, there's a dual lane & a right lane-only version. I'm hoping this will be the first one I don't feel the need to tweak. It took the better part of 2 days

They Might Be Giants - Why Does the Sun Shine? (Live)

This is They Might Be Giants' cover of a 50's educational song. The live version is super energetic and nothing like their studio version (or the original). It's a highlight of every TMBG show, and I've been to quite a few to see.

A really bright cheery rock song. It's another relatively easy song to play. Great for practice & warmup, or to impress the laydeez. Give it a chance & you'll likely love it.

More TMBG on the way. They have so many good drum songs it's hard to know where to start.

Yoshida Brothers - Rising

Ok, this one is finally done. Maybe. I always end up going back and revising.

If you've never heard this song, you really should listen to it once. I don't think it's possible to dislike it.

I worked really hard on the simfile, so I hope everyone likes it. I wanted to try to do the song justice, since it kicks so much ass.

I'll probably go back & tweak the keysounds and double check the fills.
