Not Afraid

I've been working on a song for a little while, this is a really choppy incomplete version with some absolutely horrible vocal recording (being sick and trying to record vox sucks). Still have to tie it all together, but I'm liking where it's headed so far.

Spent some time with the Alesis DM10 Studio kit I rented from Long & McQuade this past weekend. Didn't do a whole lot of cleanup on the track (there's some pop and hiss when recording via my X3 Live in Garageband that I can't sort out). Anyways, this was about 90 minutes of playing around with the drum kit and my other instruments, here's the full list of tools used:
Hoping I can get some more time learning how to eliminate some of the pop/hiss but so far I'm pretty happy with the ability to record demo quality stuff with this setup :)
