My band`s studio recordings...

[Drummer Karl]

Hi friends...

that`s it, the tunes we recorded in studio are mixed and uploaded on myspace. I`m a bit unhappy with that mixdown but I think and hope that it is just the sound quality of myspace...but tell me how you like it.

We sing in German how you can maybe hear.

Also, tell me how I worked as a rockier drummer... :-) haha...I hope you like it a bit

WOW!!!!
Thats is truly amzing.
What kind of has arte you using they sound brilliant.
Your band is really good Karl.(female fronted to):)

[GRUNTERSDAD]

Karl, I wish I understand more German, but I will tell you, your band sounds better to me than half of the music I hear on the radio. Very very nice. You are truly versatile as a drummer.

[somedrummer]

That's great stuff Karl. How old are you again? 15? You're incredible. The band sounds great.

[d.c.drummer]

woah, thats quality stuff. The band and singers are so tight. Your playing is good. I love the sound of your drums. Clean playing and meter transitions. I love it. I cant understand a word you guys are saying but i would love to have it in my itunes library. Any downloads or is there a moratorium on downloads from you now that you studio musician? Again, great stuff and keep up the good work.

[T.Underhill]

Fantastic stuff Karl!! Your playing is really excellent and I enjoy the sound of your band. What else can I say, just really impressed. Now about getting a translation...

[DogBreath]

Karl, this is all very good and very well done, but I remain your biggest fan as long as you play Jazz.

=-)

[HardcoreLogo]

You did a great job with the rock!The drum sound is very tight and punchy, i like, i like!
What kit are you using and where did you record the tracks?

[tomgrosset]

Well for starters, I really enjoy your band's sound. Its pretty impressive especially with such young musicians. Those chicks are damn good singers. But yeah, awesome playing man. You know how to put down a solid groove for the band to work with. Its very catchy music as well.

[Drummer Karl]

thank you sooo much for all the nice comments. I am very self-critical with my rock playing but I`m also glad you like it.

The kit I was using is a Mapex Orion. For more details I made up a thread about my studio gear:

thanks very much for asking, sometimes i think I would lose my head if it wasn`t tight on my body...

haha, thanks buddy! Glad you like it...

also here thanks alot!
The thing with downloading our stuff is that we wanna sell the songs on a CD so I don`t know if it is okay to give em over internet. I will ask the others and I hope I can give you the tracks soon!
Maybe we also sign up on CD baby to sell them if someone would like to have the tracks in CD quality...

[NUTHA JASON]

great drum sound karl. i agree with all the posters before but i got to say your whole kit sings beautifully ... there is not a single weak voice there. and you control it like a king.

j

[Drummer Karl]

Hey Nutha, thanks for that!

anyway, on myspace you can just one song from our CD called "Zu Schön". It seems that the other two were taken off today by our guitarist or so. Unfortunatly....

Karl

[Drummer Karl]

any more comments? Would be very happy about your opinion...

Karl

[TopCat]

Karl, this is fantastic. How did you find so many talented guys/gals your age?

Well done buddy.

[kacperivo]

good playing as always, and you're a versatile drummer, so cool. :). still not my kind of music, so i'm with DogBreath on that, you're a jazz artist K. :)

[morbius25]

Great stuff Karl. Wish I could speak German. You guys are really good.

[epis-mike]

very fine work man. your toms sound fantastic. keep it coming!

[FunkyDrummin]

Not really my favorite kind of music, but there's no denying that you guys play well together. Good stuff, mate.

[fusssion]

Karl the 15 year old drumming freak!! :) [ that's a compliment over here in America!] :)

Great stuff Karl ......that kit sounds amazing!!!!!!!!!! very impressive!

I love how you start the first part of the verse without the hi-hats then add them...very nice, very tight!! GREAT STUFF!!

[Drummer Karl]

Not really my favorite kind of music

Also not MY favourite music style...but it`s fun...and a great great experience.

thanks for all the comments, I`ve made some samples of all three songs. You can listen to them on www.myspace.com/diefreigaenger

Enjoy!

Karl

[timebandit]

Oh GOD , KARL, little buddy, i'm so,so,so, sorry! i've tried & tried & tried, again, again & again, but the god forsakin' forum would'nt let me POST!!!!!!!!!

anyway, nice job!

[Drum_Master_D]

Hey!
Wow!I am really impressed by this stuff.It has been recorded so well and for such a young band I am amazed!I just want to know how you managed to find so many people the same age as you and all really talented.I am so jelouse.

So yeh keep up the good work at backing that band up with your great drumming.

[Drummer Karl]

Hey, thanks for the comments!! mhh, I didn`t notice that someone posted in it...I apologize.

The others (exept the bassist) are 17,18 or 19. It is a looong story with this band. I started in a band where the elder sister of one of the singers sung and when they did their A-levels the two guitarists came, the younger sister of the old singer, another singer and aftera few month also a bass player. SO, kinda complicated, long story.

I will NEVER regret playing in this band. Through the recordings we all made another big step...I think tomorrow will all the CDs arrive from factory. Looking forward to it. =)

thanks,

Karl

[gaspesien]

Congrats, this band sounds more pro than 3/4 of all the bands i hear and see around here, great rock feel, tasty stuff!

[Harakirie]

Geile lieder !
Ihr könntet echt en plattenvertrag haben , wenn ihr den ed schon habt ;)

[gretsch223]

[Afrolicious]

Wow, I'm very surprised. You did a good rocking job.

Ich muss schon sagen, dafür dass ich normalerweise keine (Rock)Bands mit deutschem Gesang (vor allem nicht mit Sängerinnen) mag, mal von den Ärzten/Farin Urlaub abgesehen, fand ich die Aufnahmen richtig gut. Ihr habt auf jeden Fall Talent.

[jollymosher]

your singer has a beautiful voice man! shes like the only person that can speak german with out it sounding angry. ha.

And as usual, GREAT drumming.

[Drummer Karl]

Thanks for the nice feedback my friends! I`m very happy right now because yesterday I got to know that the CDs arrived!!!

I`ve attached a few pics of it...so thanks again for the comments! =)
Hope ya like the look...

Karl

[radeq]

god bless

[Drummer Karl]

thanks radeq!
Yesterday we won the second prize in a band competition: Two gigs with the band "Peachbox". They tour through Germany and soon they`ll also be in the USA guys!

So, two gigs with "Peachbox" anywhere in Germany. Actually I don`t like contests so much...but okay, a gig is a gig.

Karl

[James_E]

Great job Karl.

I love that "Am Ende der Zukunft" tune.

You guys are tight, and the singer has a beautiful voice.

[radiofriendlyunitshifter]

fantastic! i don't what else to say other than what's been said:

your drums sounded great

the drumming sounded great

the music, while it isn't my thing, was well played

the singer's voice is lovely

and again, good job karl.

[Drummer Karl]

Thanks very much!!
If we can win that contest I was talking about we would go to Berlin for four days and record another CD with a professional studio...btw, if you wanna vote for us, here is the link: http://www.volkswagen.de/vwcms_publish/vwcms/master_public/virtualmaster/de3/kunden___service/Volkswagen_Service/best_in_music/voting.html

thanks for the words, next rehearshal I`ll talk a bit about tempi because most of our songs are more up-tempo than I wish to do it. It`s cool to play in tempi around 130-160 bpm but maybe we can also make a tune with a tempo about 100 bpm.

Thanks for all the inspiration guys!

Karl
