Question

Hey, I'm trying to work on some of these on my own while I wait out the two weeks, and there's one in particular that I got the melody and bass off a piano transcription, but I'm having trouble picking out the drum line. Do you have any tips for that?

Generally, when I'm figuring out a tricky rhythm I find that physically counting on and/or tapping my fingers on the quarter notes helps a lot.  That and tons of practice.

Snare is usually the easiest to hear and figure out.  I usually start with that.  Hi-hat is also relatively easy to hear, but it tends to have a lot of dynamic range.  I find myself just picking out the loudest hi-hat and cymbal hits and leaving the rest out.  Bass drum is usually the hardest to pick out; in a lot of music it tends to get confused with the bass line.  Sometimes listening to it on crappy speakers will help muffle either the bass line or the bass drum and bring out the other one.

Honestly, the vast majority of percussion parts I hear follow a handful of common patterns.  The one I did for 'Senkin Dur da Blá' combines a couple of these patterns with a break on the fourth measure.

Thanks, dude! I'll give it a shot

Here's a quirky one for you. Also did you see the contest that DE is currently running?

Sorry, I already know I can't do that one.

Yeah I saw it.  I don't feel right entering, since I use a MIDI keyboard instead of the normal controls.
