The first thing I decided when making this was to contentrate on NOT allowing it to sound like any of the bands I listen to. Whether or not I truely like what I was going to make, I didnt want to just copy somebody else. For the first pattern I tried to refrain from using snares, I wanted it to sound less active like rock. I used toms as a substitute to get a more free flowing sort of thing, since the toms rang out longer. The second pattern sounds alot like to first due to the same sounds going off at close to the same time, but its slower and simpler sounding while keeping that same flow from the first pattern. I tried to get the first fill to make the second pattern seem less slowed down, since the first fill is fast. The second fill was meant to kind of erase what you just heard so the third pattern didnt seem so foriegn.

Very quiet, but good overall
ReplyDeleteI think the kick drum is overwhelming the detail work you did in the tom tom part- and everything else as well. It's all I can hear unless I listen really closely.
ReplyDeleteI would like the fills to be a little more obvious to break up the patterns. That said, the patterns were good (other than the mixing).
