Felt like i was just punched in the face…
Nice, just…the snares annoy me XD
Good job on the powerful sound though!!
can you show me an example of how you would use the drums here (also if you know how to use chromaticism in the drum beats correctly that would be great)
A) Ya those snares are annoying, if you changed 90% of it to some loud toms (both of the good “metally” ones ) I think you could get a powerful yet good sounding song there…
Frontline… QVX showed me this as an option, but I don’t work well with your style sadly ix
As you said yourself to me, you just do alot of flats, not randomly, but I just don’t like, since I prefer it to be a definite scale that I can follow (If I can follow one )
But It sounds, well… there is only one word for it… badass lol
Yeah I am definately not a drum master, and I was experimenting so I don’t usually create amazing stuff, and yeah the toms could work, if you want a scale, try one of the “Modes of limited transposition” they are fun and each can make some kinds of metal riffs, I like the 2nd 4th and 5th.
Heh, this is why I like drums… no scales needed
Agreed
I use the scale:
Cb, C, C#, Db, D, D#, Eb, E, E#, Fb, F, F#, Gb, G, G#, Ab, A, A#, Bb, B, B# XD
(yeah i know theres a few that can’t be used…but who cares?)
…You do know that is a real scale, right?
not exactly… the chromatic scale that is probably what you are thinking of doesn’t have the flat sharp redundancy that QVX described in his scale, although functionally they are the same.
Yeah, he put extra repeated notes, so it was more like someone strumming really fast on the guitar while moving his finger up the fretboard.
What? Just use major/minor.
I was giving scales that can work in my style, major and minor often have trouble with that, for example if you wanted to shift a power chord up a tritone, you would have to break the major/minor scale.
Metal doesn’t use those commonly.
Oh … that’s why I don’t like metal.
you should try to think of a better reason…
It just seems complicated.
that’s kinda like a writer saying I don’t like Shakespeare because it’s too hard
Well I guess I was just thinking of myself making it.
I just embarked on making my first cover here is my internal dialog in choosing the song:
“Well this is the first one that I am trying, it should be easy. What is an easy genre?”
“How bout some polka?”
“No”
“Soft rock?”
“Nah”
“Technical Death Metal?”
“Yeah that sounds like a piece of cake”
“What song do you want?”
“Well… the most complex song I can think of that isn’t just technical wankery is Incarnated by Obscura”
“Yeah! Lets do that one.”
and 5 hours later I have the first 24 bars of the song.
Here’s the original for reference Obscura - Incarnated
Ok BUMPED
Also I’ve been making a list of the music I listen to: link → Music
note that most of the bands on there are from the “scouting mission” I did a few weeks ago some of them might not stay on there, and there are other bands that need to get on there that aren’t there yet. Also I will be adding reviews and more links.
I’m back and I’m gonna start writing like hell soon, I got a music theory class underway so expect some crazy secondary dominants and anticipations and all that.
