This is an example of the difference between single bass drumming and double bass drumming.
What is this supposed to prove?
This was used as a reply to dusty shane’s comment on another song, which he said had single bass, but didn’t. This example illustrates the different sound of single and double bass.
The first and last two bars use double, where the rest use single.
What song are you talking about? That comment I made on TV’s song?
If so, then I wasn’t wrong, (I actually said double bass, not single) and I was making a half-hearted joke in the first place, but I guess that fact itself does not prove or disprove knowing what use of bass drum there is.
If that’s not what it is, please explain or link me to my comment.
Also, I just so happened to click this, if you wanted to get my attention, you should’ve messaged me, or put my name in the title.
No he used single bass, but the difference between single and double in Notesssimo is so insignificant that it doesn’t really matter. I mostly made this because I was bored/procrastinating, don’t take it too personally.
What do you even mean anymore? Why does it matter if it’s Notessimo to be considered double bass use?
You do know what I’m talking about don’t you? Using two bass drums, one for each foot, on a real drum kit. I have no idea what you mean by the first bar and last bars. The first 4 bars, sheet 0, are obviously single, while the rest is double.
I have no idea why you think what TV did was single, unless you really think someone can do that with one foot comfortably. Even here in your own example, the single part was just a simple 4 on the floor, and you claim what TV did was single, when they are nowhere near the same, so it’s a horrible example. I know we’re misunderstanding each other somewhere, but you aren’t really explaining yourself well.
And how do you expect me not to take it personally when you call me wrong, and actually go out of your way to make an example to prove it?
Yes, I said it wasn’t important in my last post, I’d say that’s enough.
Btw, the speed at which a drum pattern goes has nothing to do with single or double. If you play two drums really slowly thats double, and if you play one drum at triple that speed that’s single. In the example I changed the panning of the drums so that the first and last two bars sounded like two drums played alternately, where in the middle 4 I used panning 0% to make it sound like a single drum. That’s the difference. What a human can play doesn’t matter, because it’s being played by a computer not a person.
I disagree, we’re still discussing, but I don’t care about that at this point.
Ah, I see what you mean now, thanks for explaining exactly what you meant.
This was a complete misunderstanding of when I said double bass drum. In my original comment, the one that started this all, I was refering to double bass drums like what a human could play, in metal. You should’ve inferred that given context alone. I don’t know how to say this without it sounding offensive, as it’s not my intent, but your view of what constitutes double bass drum is a bit unheard of, it should’ve been very obvious what I was talking about.
I hope we have this cleared now. Thanks.
I understood what you were saying, I just disagreed. My definition of double bass drum is my no means unheard of, the same line may be played by one drummer with a single bass drum, where another might use 2 or more, so using speed as an assessment of what’s single and double is highly inexact. Again this is a technicality, but I am not incorrect.
I can see this is not going to be resolved, I really could keep fighting this, but there is no point. I see this entire thing is you coming off as a smart aleck.
…
Ok then.
If you want to stop then stop. I agree the initial thing was a bit smart alecky, after that I was just responding to your posts.
Thanks for that, but I don’t want to continue because new it really just boils to opinion at this point, and I don’t see a point to arguments like that, as I don’t think either of us is going to change the other’s mind.
I’m glad we’re done. Good night.
