In this audio clip I used the basic drum beats to get a "beat" that I was looking for. While messing around for a little bit I realized I wanted a little darker of a kick, but also wanted to make a hip-hop beat. In my intro I have a high hat hit to start out the beat. I like using the high hats because in live songs where drummers start out songs by counting off they use the high hat, and I like that sound. I was interested in the clap feature and used it for sort of a fill. I used more of a acoustic echo sounding snare for a classic rock/reggae feel. For my last drum fill I used the kick and high hat in unison, because the first time I messed around on drums I could easily do something like that. The shaker throughout the clip I thought would give it a feel that you don't get in other songs, I had some trouble making all the different loops work together.
I liked all the different drums in your loop. it made it so it didnt get boring and so you didnt know what was coming next. You started off slow in the beginning and sped it up in the middle which made it not only flow good but sound good too Nice job.
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot going on here. I'd like to hear the patterns that you created repeat a few more times because they are busy and intricate. A complex pattern needs to be repeated a bit more than a simple one to allow the listened to "warm up" to it. Your fill came after only 2 repeats and then we were into a complex fill and then another complex pattern.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I get a hip hop beat out of this.
It was very hard to follow.
I would suggest 3 things:
