Just a warning (even though it's what I use!), Logic has got a.....interesting......GUI compared to Pro Tools and some other DAWs I've used. I've gotten used to it, but I know a lot of people have been frustrated with it. Just a heads up if you get…

Killer groove on the tunes you have up! I wish I could play like that, I am more of a self taught basher! Very nice feel, really works for the tunes. Excellent stuff.

Welcome to The Drum Fill Rob! Thank you for the kind words on my kit and music. We are nearly neighbors, being in the same province and all!

Rock on,
James
