felix stein Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 I wrote out a kick line where I played eight note trips and snare on 2&4. Well that certainly was easy enough...so I wanted to keep the exact same speed on the kicks but give it the simple "16 th note" feel...snare accented on the 3...not too tough...I wrote it out and *behold* the phrase turned out to be 16/8. This is getting interesting I said to myself so I did a diddle/swiss trip permutation over the top to add "sprinkles" Not bad-mix the two feels, play the "herky jerky". So I started playing 7's over the top, but breaking them up and artificially grouping "ruffs"/ drags/3 stroke roll doubles (whatever, you get the picture) over the top. Very nice, now I just have to play swiss triplets on the bottom while I play the 7's on top...and then go back to the 16th note kick groove...tee hee hee...very funny. felix's band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockbody Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 Well, I (thank God) wasn't practicing it but, our drummer is having fun with our new song with the 5/4, 180bpm lead break in it. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I have some more time later today I'll try to look him up. Our band plays (for lack of a better term) hardcore music. We've been making him do stuff like this for years. He and I have been playing together on and off for around 14 years. He's probably one of the most talented musicians I've ever known. It's too bad he got mixed up with us! http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockbody Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 Okay, got the time, looked him up. Oh, and a correction. I just made up the 180bpm. So, not wanting to boast or anything, I went and downloaded N-tracks on to my work computer so I could hear a metronome and get a better idea of what the bpm actually was... try around 240bpm!

felix stein Posted August 27, 2001 Author Share Posted August 27, 2001 240 bpm fills are cool...funny you should mention that. Because last night I was practicing a double paradiddle followed by a single. Got it? Great. Pretty easy huh? Then if one groups the pattern in eighth notes you get a bar of 5/4-total of 10 notes. Well, I wasn't into practicing 5/4 measures so what I did was turn the pattern into a "10" and played it as a fill for a beat in 4. Tee Hee Hee. Very cool...going from a five pattern...doubling it then turning it into a diddle figure. Tee Hee Hee...then I threw in an extra accent. Very very cool sounding if I do say so myself. I think I will stay on this diversion and work out some different accents and get them smooth in 4 at about 110-120 bpm. felix's band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockbody Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 240 bpm fills are cool...funny you should mention that. Not that it's a big deal, or anything, but it's not a fill (unless you play minute long fills http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif ).

felix stein Posted September 13, 2001 Author Share Posted September 13, 2001 Lots of weird playing going on this morning. Swiss triplets on the kick and comping on top ala T.B. Flipped in and out of 5/4...7/8 and who knows what else. Did some syncopated 7 patterns that sounded kinda cool. Squished quads in between power trips where john bonham meets neil and felix takes it to the next level. Whether higher or lower I havn't figured out yet. felix's band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
