Victory Laps
This is a song I wrote with a friend of mine, Nick Perry (he recorded both guitar lines). It’s based on a couple chords from a song I wrote, but it’s pretty much his composition from my standpoint, the guitar line is the centerpiece and everything else sorrounds it.
The drum kit is handmade using boxes and something I found to simulate the noise of a ride cymbal. I don’t have $300 for a cheap kit, certainly not $500 for a decent kit, but I do have a few bucks here and there for this. For the snare sound, I filled a pizza box with rice, and hit that. The bass drum, I had to tape and rubberband a sock around the end of my drum stick, and hit it against a syrup box from those soda fountain machines.
There’s no lyrics, but it’d make a good intro to some other song. It’s sort of 50s. You can download a copy here.
