Drumalicious

Yes I made up that title.. no I’m not sure much of what it means either

This is a bit of a random collection of grooves inspired by the anonymous rooster groove CD.

Still working on practicing recording, listening to myself, getting stuff uploaded, learning the process and working out some wrinkles. It’s pretty harsh listening to yourself too. These aren’t coming out and grooving exactly the way I hear them quite yet.. but I’m going with it anyways and I expect them to improve over time.

I’m already wondering this site layout my not be the best for what I’m dong. I’ll run with it for now. I have some ideas for making things easier to browse, but that’ll take me bringing some web coding skills up to speed and right now I want to play MUSIC!

At some point I will probably chart out these tracks and post that with the loops.

These tracks flow better as loops as made a point of looping them in the audio editor and making sure there weren’t any obvious hiccups. Might have to go back and edit earlier ones to tidy them up the same.

Found a cassette a while back with some great grooves on some old tunes I have. Don’t even know who the original artists are.. no track or artist names.

One of these tunes starts with a rooster crowing.. hence the name of this post, and where I stole this groove from. It was a bit faster than this I think. Maybe I’ll do a couple more up tempo loops later.

Been procrastinating too long, I think the important thing here is I actually start with something, no matter what it is, so here you go. Enjoy, and please please comment!

Stats as follows..

• slight variations of a 4/4 backbeat groove
• 100bpm I think
• might be a bit heavy on on the kick
