Hiya ladies and gents,
CV here, 44-year-old hobbyist drummer ...
One of the two bands I play with is what I call a "primitive garage band" -- we play pretty much three-chord distorted original rockers because collectively we're not capable of much else
I've played with these guys for a couple years on and off ... we've only had the band in this "incarnation" with these songs for a few weeks. But tonight, we're going to mic up the drums and other instruments to record a couple of demos (no multi-tracking, just live), which we'll use to try to get some gigs at the local dive bars.
So, I'm wondering ... click or no click? Basically I can put my headphones into my Rhythm Watch or an iPod app ...
Now, I can't stress our amateurish-ness enough But I'm gonna have to live with hearing these played back ... better to try to play with the click (which I _always_ do in my own practice but _rarely_ in a band setting) or just wing it and hope for the best?
I appreciate any suggestions, thoughts, or snarky replies.
