did the 11-bar trick thing, but added swing. How does the drum pattern sound? It sound good? I was gonna add hats, but in the end I wasn't feeling them too much

0:10 Chop start and stop
0:15 Interesting beat. I'm not sure I'm feeling the beat
0:28 Interesting, for sure. You could edit those main melodies they're a bit too dissonant for my liking ha
0:50 I still like the crazy manipulation of drums but there is a lot of empty space i'm trying to fill with my brain and it doesn't make sense because i'm not a rhythm master
1:15 haha i like your samples at the end

not bad. not my favourite by you but not bad :)

I'm no rhythm master either, I just have the computer do all the work for me.

I think BOUILLE's really good at the whole tapping the drum hits in via a drumpad/keyboard or something like that. I have a Oxygen midi keyboard that could handle that sort of thing really well, but I'm just too lazy to hook it up sometimes, so I resort to weird ass methods to get different sounding drum patterns. Eventually, I'll do the patterns by hand. With time.

I could see how the choppiness is an acquired taste, though. There is mad space. fearing recommended hats to fill the space, but... I dunno, I have some kind of vendetta against hi-hats. I never know where to put them. I dunno...

Thanks for the review!

It's got that swagga swing feel without hats for sure, the dead space between beats really accentuates to movement of the beat, I'd say on some parts, like the sparser parts, bring in some shuffled hats to keep the flow again. Another wicked one man, nice one.

phosphorusprocedure responds:

Thanks for the feedback, man. Shuffled hats probably isn't a bad idea, I'll definitely look into it.
