Prince - Don't Play Me (Drum Mix)

https://www56.zippyshare..../file.html

This was kind of hard to do, because the original song doesn't really stay on beat. It's obvious that Prince didn't use a Metronome or anything to keep a steady tempo. I had to manually put the kick (bass) and snare drums in, thru-out the whole song. And I don't mind saying that it sounds pretty good with all the hesitations and slight imperfections. It makes it sound almost like live drums instead of the drum machine software that it is. I also used alot of crash cymbals to help hide that it goes off beat in places.

I wanted it to have background vocals, so I did that myself. LOL!
I was trying this at first with Man In A Uniform, because it's funkier, but that song was impossible for me to set a drum or hand clap beat to.

All you have to do is click the X on the tab, before the page finishes loading. I like zippy, because you can stream the whole song without downloading and it's fast as hell.

Just close the pop up window, before it loads.
