Unfinished Songs / Demos

I am not sure about this one: it started out as a collab with kamarai but he dropped out

Ixsemarai, to be honest…i’m not a fan of the drums in this piece…when they changed though, they were good ;)
Otherwise the guitars were awesome =D :mrgreen:
3.77/5 XD

why is everyone rating my song 3 stars?

I know right!!
I’ve noticed that some prick has rated 3 on EVERY version of R.O.S. (our collab) WTF?!?!?!
I don’t usually rate songs…and i didn’t that time…either way i would’ve clicked 4 :3

so can you give me some advice for drums they are the one part of music I can’t seem to make work, not like make it a metronome with lil extra things but like tricks and stuff plz

See…at the moment it just seems like SMASH SMASH SMASH pause SMASH SMASH SMASH pause etc. it needs some kind of beat to it. Look at our colab for instance (you need to reply to that PM btw :3) i could’ve just put in constant crash/snare/bass hits in. It seems to be the first thing that comes to mind…but you need to think about the beat and see if it really reflects the piece you are constructing. If you really want to practice getting better at drums…i guess for a start…begin with a simple beat such as:
http://notessimo.net/?id=51790

Sheet 0: The most simple drum beat, base of almost every beat.
Sheet 1-4: Adding to the beat, each can be used in different ways (3 and 4 probably not recommended as if misused can lead you to sheet 5)
Sheet 5: What NOT to do…
Sheet 6: Be creative!! Thats my most used drum solo in R.O.S. and the last part is me being creative…i guess XD
With the simple beat, try rearranging it, the snares don’t have to be where it is. To master Heavy Metal Drumming, you need skill/knowledge/experience in the softer genres first…otherwise it results in a massive clusterf*** of spam… (lol someone should have this quote as their sig JK)

IMPORTANT: Play the section over and make sure it is one with the song, you may need to go through multiple drum beats until you finally get the right one…(take Muselline+my Overcome for example…for some sections i stopped for 5-10 minutes experimenting with different beats). Perfection takes time…and drums aren’t a last minute touch-up for your song

With the drum solos…i have no clue how to explain XD

In case you haven’t noticed…it is extremely hard to explain…there doesn’t need to be a note at every eighth or sixteenth throughout the whole song…also keep in mind that the drumming needs to flow with the piece, not compete against it.

First thank you for all the help on this, I know they aren’t a last minute touvh up for the song, they are the reason that I often fail out certain songs, because it needs a drum beat, and I can’t make one.
Also I responded to your PM a while ago qvx.

This x10.

I know right XD hope i helped

me making a riff based off my new drum skills

I normally do it the other way around, since I always find it harder to do it that way lol
Its not bad though

ok so here is the next section in full circle I don’t like sheet 7 btw I will change it a little or alot depending on what works

  1. The only problem i have with this song is that it is repetitive at the start (with the lower sounding pianos)
  2. I changed 3 things in your attempt: the position of the first snare (in each measure) back one, cymbals, and the toms at the end (my special touch )
    Ixy’s song (XD)

Hey, its been a while. I haven’t really had the chance to get on during the last 2 months since school was keeping me busy.

Here’s something I had been working on back in October; I just added some stuff today. It’s a remake of a previous song.

Must say it seems you put a lot of work into making it sound as close as possible to the original. Keep working on it, it’s a great song.

Must ask if you were also planning on finishing that truly epic metal song you posted a while back?

I know; it’s especially difficult due to all the sound effects.

I’m working on it. It’s been difficult to think of what to add, though. I’m feeling pressured to make it satisfy all the expectations set by you guys.

i’m back! i’ve also got some songs i’m working on, and here they are:
misc/window.php?id=52187
it’s an original song that shows my insanity.
misc/window.php?id=52188
i’m hoping to get this done soon.

I really hope you finish Mr. brightside sorin, I really like that song, I would do it my self but I see you are already working on it.

To be honest, I kinda abandoned working on it; it didn’t seem like a “notessimo kind of song” (at least in my opinion). I guess I could start working on it again, unless you want to work on it that badly; do you? It seems like your kind of genre.

It was you! =D i was browsing songs looking for karo’s secret songs…when i found this song…i really wanted to know who made it and even posted it on the song page…damn its good :mrgreen:
