It looses a looooot of power without the rest of the band...
And you reaaaally need to play with the velocity on those drums. Way too 'machine gun,' especially on the blasts.

reminds me of my buddy Shawn Whittaker's one-man-band, Insidious Decrepancy... not the music exactly, just the way of performing without a band. Shawn uses an Alesis HR-16 rather than an iPod.

Hey. You do what you gotta do. I've seen a lot of "bands" do this. I live in BFE Nebraska, and like minded musicians are hard to find. We actually did the same kind of thing with our keyboard parts, (playing to the click on that thing SUCKED!!!).
Yea, you may lose a lot of power without a full band, but tell that to Buckethead

Yeah, I emailed back and forth with Shawn a few times while I was finding out more info on playing alone. Also Shaun from Putrid Pile does the same thing and he uses a MiniDisk. The iPod works for me.

The main reason I started doing it alone was that I could not find other people wanting to play Death Metal. I programed all the drums on my CD and did the whole CD myself, after that I thought I would EQ the drum tracks a bit differently for live shows and it has working out great.
Everyone says it sounds great live, I can't tell much as I can only hear the monitors on stage but from the video I have it sounds good for just me and my iPod. Also, I am just having fun and playing music, that is what it's about.

Yes, the blast beaats sound very un-human and machine gun like but everyone knows it is not a drummer and having different velocity for live drums I don't think will make much of a difference to people that are on ther 5th or 6th beer and are just having fun.

guitars must be loud
I think you need to have balls to play shows like that!
So, thumbs up
Thanks a lot man. A lot of people have been saying that...LOL I am nervous but once I get the drum tracks loud enough in the monitors I am ready and have no problems. As long as the club has good monitors I am all set, crapy or no monitors I might as well just go home...LOL

What? No guitar solo? 
Seriously though, I agree, you do have to have balls to do that live. And you seem to do it well. I love that chorus and your voice!
It reminds me of Death's Scream Bloody Gore era.
I'm off to check out your others vids now.
