I have a musical challenge for all of you who read this!

Challenge: Create a song that uses ONLY PERCUSSION SOUNDS.

-

Here are da rules:

1. The song must only contain percussion sounds(duh). You are allowed to use stuff other than drums too. You can use mallets, bells, xylophones, anything that you'd have to hit with something to play. And don't try to bend the rules please :[

2. Please don't use envelopes, automation, or anything that could make the song sound artificial. Let's keep it real folks.

3. Your submission can be a song or a loop, but make it at least 1:30 long.

4. Since you are going to submit your piece to the audio portal, you must follow all of the audio portals rules, with the additions above.

-

Now, in order for your song to be entered in the contest, you must post the following in your response:

I will accept this challenge, and will follow it's rules.
Song Name
Link

If you want to participate, nothing's holding you back! (Well, except the rules :P) Now go and have fun with it!

P.S.

I have also submitted an entry, but it will not be considered in the actual contest. To use it for refence, click this link.

Have Fun!

I hit a piano key with my finger, and a guitar string with my pick, can I use them?

Har har... I'll shut up now... Looking forward to hearing some entries.

That was only half funny since Pianos are percussion instruments anyway.

Haha, my thoughts exactly. I'm working on a Brahms transcription I'll submit to this.

@Cynus:
I'd accuse you of using this as a simple cover up for advertising if there wasn't enough cynicism on the internet already today. You missed some important details, such as a timeline and how the contest will be judged.

I wish this were me, but I have seen it done before.

It's amazing, by the way. It can be done.

There will be a couple people on NG Judging(I'm not giving out names), including me. 10 in all. And the timeline hasn't been agreed apon yet. Updates later :3

I playing drums and I making music! so there my music skills

Sure, I'll whip up something this evening. Wanted to make some tribal beats for a while now, so this should be fun.

You are musical skills.

I third it... simply because this time sugar actually said something that makes sense.

I could try something... I've made songs with just drums before.

What kind of prizes are you offering?

No prizes. Just a friendly contest. And also, the person who comes in last, the winner gets to beat their face in and shit all over their house. Just kidding, but seriously, you win.

I like that a contest where prizes aren't offered pops up and is accepted every now and then. It gets real annoying to see people respond to contests with no prizes saying like "THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO REWARD ISN'T REALLY A GOOD INCENTIVE TO GET PEOPLE TO JOIN THIS CONTEST"

like shut the fuck up, is it your job to create music? No (Not for most of you atleast)

God forbid you don't make any money doing something you apparently like to do.

So wait, did Sugarsimon win? Awesome. Good effort though everyone, it's been a great contest.

u mad bro?

I did that a few years ago.
It sucked, but it was put in a flash.

I might give this a go.

Does it have to be an analog recording?

I'd imagine not since you're submitting it to the audio portal given the rules, and the audio portal doesn't generally accept 8-tracks.

Um...derp. Freudian slip? I need to stop listening to the new Foo Fighters when I post.

Freudian slips involving 8-tracks AND a post from from sugarsimon? This is on its way to being the funniest thread I've ever read. Just what repressed feelings do you have for analog recordings, sculpted-cold?

Well, I was listening to the new Foo Fighters which was recorded analog, lol.

DERPITY DERP DERP DERP

I'm working on my submission for this.

Freudian? As in anal og?
