Stunting & Juggling
This splendid template from Kenny has been sat in Reaper for nearly a week now. I've tried a couple of times previously and not been happy with the result so it got shelved. Working from home today I thought I'd have a quick pop at it again during lunch.
As usual, the solution was keeping the beat simple and driving. I was trying to be clever previously whereas instead this take keeps the beat going but picks out the main accents ...

I really like the composition.
The sound is very clear on my speakers, it's a cool upbeat song. +2

Nice. Love the tight HH work. The driving 1/4 notes over the chorus sound good. I think I'm going to push a 6/8 feel a little stronger...but we'll see once I get a few tracks down. You set the bar nice and high my friend.

Thank you, Frank. My early efforts focussed on the same thing - emphasising that 6/8 feel - but I found with the drum lines I did, it messed with the necessary drive and energy the track needed to keep it powering along for me.
So another instrument picking up that theme would be perfect! +1

Sounds great! yes and simple usually is better. It is amazing too how 16th notes can solve so many issues...in my younger days i would never, ever play 16th on the hats.....

They do! I'm not a fan of 16ths to be honest, but I find by flinging in accents it really helps them lilt (and cover up how inaccurately I play them sometimes!)

Hi Martin, I can't hear in good conditions if the compressor's job is good, but your add to Kenny's track fits great... ^^
Kenny, You've done it great again ;-)
Thanks guys... +1

Nothing short of Brilliant! I personally think the 16th notes on the first part was great. Clever thing on the break :D the upbeat on the chorus really worked well. Great sensitive take on the 2:51 then getting blast onwards!!! Can't give a comment on the compression as im only listening thru phone (still cant be back home), but man I care less about that God this is outstanding!!!

Thank you, Kenny! This a fabulous template. Despite the apparent simplicity, it was challenging to get the balance right between driving it and helping pick out the fantastic syncopations of the riff.
