I fired up Reaper and continued working on the basic drum pattern on Plastic Flowers using BFD Eco.
Laying the "basic drum pattern" is my preferred method for starting a song project. It's as simple as setting the tempo, key in alternating base drum and snare pattern, then copying and pasting the pattern to last the entire length of the song.
Doing so gives me, one, a better metronome as opposed to the usual beep sound that comes with most DAWs, and second, it serves as my drum template. I would already have one-third of my drum programming done since all I have to do next is add the embellishments.
