Project 2 day 1

Today I started the second project in music tech. I played around with fpc, slayer, poizone, and toxic biohazard. I liked all of them but since i like the drums the fpc was the best. I used chop for slayer, used a loop for fpc, and piano roll for the other two. Out of all the three ways to make a rythm my favorite was piano roll without chopping it. I do like chop for the fact that from as far is i have learned in fl that the notes can be shorter with chop than you can with just piano roll. I like piano roll because it lets you create your own rythms using different pitches. The song so far is comming around good but it will be alot better after vacation.

2nd drumbeat

In this drum beat i liked the sound of the sidestick in my first i also used it here, but they are nothing alike. The last one was a mix between pop and punk but this one is more punk mixed with classic rock. The drum fills in this one use toms not just the snare and bass drum. The breaks were supposed to sound like a mix between John Bottom, Neil Pert and Keith Moon (if they sound like that to you thats good but if not thats okay it is just my opinion.) I also change from loose hi hat to cowbell then to open then closed right after hit for the hi hat. The bass drum is just the default bass.

first drumbeat

In my first drum beat I gave it sort of a punk rock Travis barker kind of feel to it (that is just my opinion, you can think what you want.) Instead of using a straight up snare I turned the stick sideways and used the side stick effect. I gave the bass drum a mix between a punk rock and pop kick to it, so it doesn't sound like a party boy dance but not loose and tinny like punk rock can be. For the cymbals i used a semi open high hat so it didn't sound more like a classic rock beat. The breaks are just different rhythms on the snare and kick peddle. What i like about this beat is that it is actually possible to play on a set and doesn't have any claps and snaps.
