I guess that's kind of how I feel about drums and percussion, which have

been a strong interest of mine since I was a kid (but my parents forced

me to take piano lessons, even though I wanted to learn to play a drum

set). If I let embarrassment at the results prevent me from trying, I'll

never get better. Fortunately, every tiny step along the way has its own

value, reward, and provides a sense of fulfillment.

I would love to try that again, Thorsten. I'm a bit worried that I might

not be able to come up with some good harmonic/melodic elements to add,

but I would love to attempt it. Same goes for anyone else: if you love

to create drum/percussion tracks (audio, general MIDI, Hydrogen files,

for example) and wouldn't mind seeing what another musician might be

able to do with it, then please send the file my way, and thanks.
