Title: New double kick beat from me.
Post by: Chicky on Sat 10/03/2007 14:50:37
Just some drumming, improvising some double kick beats, listen to the fill about half way through.

*edit

Also, here's me and some mates improvising some riffs together. I'm doing vocals here not drumming.

Very nice, you'd be in my band instantly. :)

Of course, the recording quality isn't quite top-notch (mostly obvious in the second half after your fill with the volume fade-ins/outs and the MSN noise in it ;) ), but your playing seems spot-on.

You should vary time-signatures though - how about something in 7/8 or 5/4? :)

thanks Dkh, simple 4/4 is what I'm used to and apart from 16 beat there's not a lot else i do. I've been playing 4 years or so but i still haven't had my first drumming lesson, so my technique and theory is pretty messy.

Also, it was recorded using the video function on my digital camera and then i used audacity to record wave out from the video, hence the 'hardware unplugged' noise.

Call me indie-pop, but I don't like dubble base kicks. It takes all the fun away from the hi-hat.
Then again, it's mandatory for metal, so you spent your bread wisely.

I like it. Its cool how you did lots of small bursts rather than one big long one.

Jet - There are metal bands that don't use double kick too. And there is more to drumming than your standard hi-hat runs. But I can't tell you what to like, so go your own way.

I like double kick a lot.

Good stuff.
