monthly drum challenge?
Re: monthly drum challenge?
Yes that's the date for you guys are ok with it. As far as the click and panning and shit do what works for you. I don't monitor my drums while recording because there is no need to with a loud instrument like that. But you do, so just play around and have fun.
Re: monthly drum challenge?
I tried the song the other day. It's tough lol. I can't play that fast with authority/in this style. I'll probably end up playing mostly quarter notes the whole time lol
Re: monthly drum challenge?
LOL - that's what its all about, mate.. practice! Failing that, there's always amphetamines.
Re: monthly drum challenge?
With the tempo being that high and the guitar arrangement, there isn't much room to do anything different to the drum part than the original.
Re: monthly drum challenge?
Not to influence how anyone would play this, but I would do quarter notes on this regardless of whether I was bale to do 8th notes for it or not. Seems to call for semi-open hi-hat quarter notes to me.

Re: monthly drum challenge?
I can actually do the 8th notes to this for a few seconds , but to me, it just doesn't sound right either...I thought it was all the aqua net that's permanently embedded into my brain though...
Jdude: The practice song you sent me is coming along too dude...I actually played the time/tempo changes that are in the original before I listened to the version with drums... I personally think that song sounds like Metallica with Lemmy on vocals dude...is that you singing???

Re: monthly drum challenge?
I would 8th note all over this thing and double-time it.
Actually, I have no idea what I'd do. I haven't heard it.
But 180 bpm to me means 8th notes most of the time.

Re: monthly drum challenge?
Yeah dude, I get it, you're a more-than-competent drummer, but I'm a newbie drummer, with health problems to boot...While this is great exercise, I don't wanna fall over dead from trying to keep up with you guys on the drums...

Re: monthly drum challenge?
I was playing with it today, but started overplaying and doing ridiculously stupid things. If I get something coherent, I'll post it.
Re: monthly drum challenge?
Lol...that's all that's in my drum vocabulary dude, ridiculous & incoherent seem to go hand-in-hand over here...
Don't forget we're not supposed to post our results until the 22nd of April dude, that way there's no influence on how we play...

Re: monthly drum challenge?
In that case, I should be able to find the time to (over)do it.
Re: monthly drum challenge?
Hope your finding it useful, mate. I figured that one would be the closest thing I have to your usual style and its also not too fast.Minerman wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2017 4:09 pm Jdude: The practice song you sent me is coming along too dude...I actually played the time/tempo changes that are in the original before I listened to the version with drums...

Yeah, it is me singing. I'm not consciously trying to emulate Lemmy but as I sing more and more I start to sound more like him.
Re: monthly drum challenge?
Ok so I was going to record this today but since my ears are kind of fucked I bailed after a coupel attempts because it was just too painful. Il ltry to get it tomorrow if I can. If not it will be soon after that. I know this was my idea and I feel bad about not getting it done on time for the first one but thats the card Ive been dealt. I think I only missed one out of like 14 or 15 at the other place, so rest assured I want to do this.
Re: monthly drum challenge?
Don't we all have until the 22nd of this month dude??? I've been hammerin' away at the song, but thought we had another week or so...liv_rong wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2017 8:02 pm Ok so I was going to record this today but since my ears are kind of fucked I bailed after a coupel attempts because it was just too painful.

Re: monthly drum challenge?
haha, glad you're getting your practice in, Miner. You'll be 'rebels own session drummer before you know it!
Oh, this thread reminded me too, I retracked the bass for this yesterday and re-mixed it slightly. The bass should be more prominant and cutting through more now which I suppose is pretty vital when you're a drummer!

Re: monthly drum challenge?
Wow. Just listened to JD's song "No Choice" and I think you're gonna need one of those "Great modern drummers" from Liv's thread to keep up with this. I could actually hear how I would do it, if I could do it, but man, I can't do it! Good luck to the participants. Will be interesting to hear the outcome. But man, shit...I'm worn out just thinking about it.
For a first challenge, this one seems a little brutal?
