You know, there's an interesting story about the percussion (then again, I guess it's not that interesting, but what the Hell).
I was originally going to use a jazz drumkit for this, but I thought I'd test out my brothers' rock drumkit before I gave it to him (bought him it as a gift). And you're damn right, it does sound far too heavy for the piece. And I'm not that good of a percussionist, so that's definiately why it's off beat on some spots.

Unfortunately, I'll have to find a decent percussionist very fast, because I've damaged my left wrist, so I don't even have time to improve. That's the reason why you're hearing the original NES percussion channel in the beginning - I recorded the second part first, which was before I buggered up my wrist.

I'm also thinking of recording in a smaller room to get more of a dry sound. In the church, there'll be a bit of an echo, and as there's a bit of an echo in the room that I'm recording in, it'll barely be heard in the church.


Anyway, thank you, Killy. I apologise for the long-winded post.

And everyone, please, I need more people to look at this. I need more criticism. I need this to be near-perfect.
