Without much planning… I just did it.

When I purchased my first recording system, I got basic drum beats that moved in a loop. They had no uniqueness, and they sounded quite monotonous.

After I finished recording the first songs, I tried to transfer them from the recording system to the editing software for some reason, the song was transferred without the drumbeat.

I could only hear the melody without the rhythm. As a result, the song sounds relatively naked.

I quickly realized that I could not continue to record songs in this format and I started looking for a professional drummer. The way to find the perfect drummer involved examining dozens of drummers from Canada and the U.S. in various styles.

Most of the drummers I found wanted to record songs professionally in an outdoor studio they are used to working with.

The problem was that I never wrote the song in advance. It was created as improvisation and I could never know what the end result would look like because I have no musical education to explain to the other musicians how to fit into the song’s structure.

One day I was exposed to various special drumbeats, with each track lasting about 3-4 minutes and incorporating a variety of phrases in the same track. The rhythm I heard matched this song, I realized that it was a beat that I was not willing to give up and I decided to incorporate that rhythm into the song.

Without much planning, I just did it. I entered the deep trance of the recording as I merged to the beat of the drums and talked to the drummer in my spirit as if he were there himself.

Today I can to say the search for the perfect drummer was effortless and challenging but rewarding.

This song demonstrates in its rhythm and melody that hard work done wholeheartedly, even if it is done in stages, without rounding corners or running away when things start to get tough, proves to be worthwhile.

Sometimes there is not much to do. You have to repeat the same operation several times, like knocking on a lot of extra-thick wooden and iron doors. Only after a long effort, the door opens wide and sometimes leads you to the desired breakthrough.

From my personal experience with many things I have succeeded in life, I can say that patience and determination, and perseverance without fear of hard work ultimately lead to the desired success.

I hope that the message in this song will permeate you and that you will have significant success in the things important to you.
