Green Door Drum and bass overdubs

Green Door is a song recently re-recorded by  El Swingo, a punk / tribute band from Colorado.  Theirs is a cover of The Cramps version from 1981, which itself is a cover of the 1956 original by Jim Lowe. 

The two links below are El Swingo's  and Jim Lowe's version of the song, the latter purely for historical reference.  Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to create a tempo map of the song so that we can re-record El Swingo's drums and bass, this friday, 14 January.

El Swingo: GREEN DOOR

Jim Lowe: GREEN DOOR

The plan for Friday 14 January:

• Mark Buffington will create a MIDI tempo map for the click track.
• Calibrate the multitrack tape machine. 
• Set up the drums in front of the booth
• Justin Kane will play drums (so be sure to download and practice)
• use minimal mic techniques
• set up tall absorbers on either side of the kit
• place old hi-hat cymbal under the snare stand.
• Jeremy Woerner will overdub Bass Guitar (download and practice)
• The balance of the students will handle recording chores.

At the moment, it has yet to be determined if we will record to the original tape or our own.  Currently, The audio has been transfered from the original multitrack, which included a SMPTE track.
