      "...the best link wrat record to start learning?and what about the kinks?"

      A great Link Wray release to introduce yourself to the 'one-lung' master would be:

      Link Wray & The Raymen - Mr. Guitar - Original Swan Recordings (1995) Norton Records Two CD set

      These Kinks records are an absolute MUST:

      Kinks - 1964 (first LP) - Pye
      Kinda Kinks - 1965 - Pye
      The Kinks Kontroversy - 1965 - Pye
      Face To Face - 1966 - Pye

      ...And have a listen to Chuck Berry & Bo Diddley while yer at it. Have fun!

      One a them big cans of cooking oil you get (emptied of course) makes a good drum, backs of acoustic guitars or hard guitar cases, metal serving trays... Also you can pick up cheap plastic drums that sound alrite from yer local toy shop... I had a Disney set that cost 15pounds...

      I think they used cardboard boxes on early Buddy Holly recordings didn't they? jailbird said:
      On a similar note(and completely serious - disregard my joke above) - what are the best things to drum on for a home recording/bedroom 4 track setup that sound good and lo-fi(ala Jay Reatards bedroom recordings, etc)when you dont actually have drums and/or a drummer? Ive tried boxes and buckets, but if anyone knows of a better solution besides getting a drummer, lemme know. Thanx.

      Start with the basics: Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Link Wray... that's all ya need to know. Get a good distortion pedal and make sure you're playing through a good old tube amp with some reverb. It's amazing how simple it actually is. It's when you start to try and make it sound perfect that it starts to sound like shit. Keep it raw!

      learn the Ventures. learn the sonics. learn link wray. and then unlearn everything and make your own.
      and get a really crappy guitar. it really helps your fingers toughen up quite a bit. high action guitars strung with barbed wire is what i'd recommend!

      Listen to exsisting Garage Punk and then rip it off. Much like Sara's comment really. It's a stable law throught the genre - if in doubt, rip it off!

      In my humble opinion, the best thing to do is learn the 5-tone blues scale and listen to a lot of Billy Childish....
