You may have noticed that it’s been a bit quiet on the Boiler Room front. That’s because I’d got through the stage of defining my thought processes – very wordy, not a lot of action – and moved on to the stage of starting to build the arrangements – lot of action, not a lot of words. Despite my best intentions, I’ve struggled to get away from building an arrangement from the drum parts up. Where I was able to find a set of parts in EZDrummer’s library that inspired me, I was able to construct the drum track reasonably quickly and then start to build on that, but where I was unsure just how “drummy” I wanted the track to be, I tried to start with something else and that’s where the trouble started and progress stopped.
