So, you know, but it's great though.

All those, all those are valuable lessons and, and only contribute to how much, how much, how much, what was difficult?

But rock guitars love ambience, and marrying it with a drum kit somehow glues it together.

So a lot of my guitar ideas didn't work against the starkness of the electronic drums and stuff like that.

Well, we tried some real drums on it, but it just didn't work.

It just, you know, it was, it had to be tight.
