equality Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 (edited) Nice harmonies and melodies. Enthusiastic drummer. I like the song but I think the huge arrangement with strings and a lot of reverb is more suitable for a (power) ballad or similar. Your song sounds more like upbeat rock and IMHO craves a different setting, like a rock combo. Edited November 21 by equality 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Nice song, I do think the busy drums are distracting from it, otherwise sounds good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookiee Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 Good song, however the machine-gun drum rolls are a distraction, sometime less is more, drums to busy in the verses, bring back in the verses, push them forward in the chorus.

Yes, it was a demonstration of the core drum notation and mapping. Some people say, compared to other instruments, drums can be hard to learn and write for various reason so they stick to basic beats, but never progress much. The curve is very large if you played drums, few things you absolutely NEED learn when playing and or writing drums. I am not a very good drummer but know the theory well from playing all instruments. So you will hear, 4, 8, 16 and 32 on this with basic builds to added rides, spaces and time out with no drums to keep time, its was good for technique and timing . I did spend much tome on the song but more on the drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted December 15 Share Posted December 15 @whoisp it is the machine gun nature of the rolls that got me no drummer can play that precise, even military drummers. Listen to military drummers they play mainly double stroke rolls, but even they exhibit some differences in timing and stroke strength (velocity). Single stroke rolls are a little different but again exhibit differences in timing and strength (velocity) of their strikes. Drummers all have a power hand, one that is always just a little louder. But as I said its your choice, I was merely making an observation that put me off of an otherwise well composed and captured song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said its for learning, i have 2 that are starting to write EDM that have insane drum risers and rolls. You know i am ex military right lol You want to go to the tattoo and watch HM Royal Marines Top Secret Drum Corps . i know what i am teaching them on addictive drums, that's the main thing, Harry the EDM guy is now cooking.
