Since so many of y'all hate Bloodmeat so much... Posted on: January 22, 2009, at 03:34:55pm ...here's a detailed description of every section of the file. Enjoy. I will use 1234 to describe step direction for simplicity's sake. A rule I kept in making the file: for any repeated hits on drums I would make trill if it had more than three notes. I only kept them as jacks if they were minijacks. [first portion stepped in double-time] -Opening (syncopated riff) - (34)s go to guitar/cymbal, 2 is bass drum. -Opening (other part) - unlayered guitar. I sacrificed absolute PR on the triplet right before next syncopated section because it would've created an awkward, obscenely fast jack. -Syncopated riff repeats, the two 4th notes in a row are a byproduct of avoiding BNS. -Other part repeats twice. The first repetition is the same unlayered guitar, the second follows the drums. -Pre-verse - Jumps to guitar/drums, trills for the drumrolls with accents charted as jumps. -Verse 1 - bass drum=1 snare drum=4, vocals on mostly 2&3 but occasionally using 4 if there's no snare and PR needed to use that column. Anytime from now I on I refer to drums/vox I am referring to this layering style. -(12)(34)(12)s go to drums/guitar, I originally had them as jacks but they were stupidly hard so I changed them. -End of verse 1 - jumps for the chords and drums and stuff with trills for the drumrolls. [no longer in double-time] -To the River Red part - the first part is a 14 trill for the bass drum with 2&3 following the guitar. The rest uses 1&2 for the guitar and drums, with layered vocals. If there was a blank space I used 4 for the crash cymbal. Minijacks on 4 for the snare hits. -Chorus 1 - probably the most complicated layering. The vocals are A thousand fathers killed (333 3 1 1) A thousand virgin daughters spread (12 2 2 2 3 2 1) With swords still wet with swords still wet (12 2 2 3 4 3 2) With the blood of their dead (222 2 3 1). Then, the drums were layered in around that progression. Bass drum was the main factor, though the snare is stepped (minijacks are when there's just bass drum, normal 16ths for when there was a snare). "With the blood of their dead" follows layering closer to that of verse 1 but it has the different cymbal sounds represented. -Nurjan is upon us - drums/vox, I ignored the guitar because the ostinato tapping is just an embellishment and not critical to the groove of the song. -One measure of guitar interlude, stepped to the tab, then one measure of drums, ride cymbal on 2&4 with bass drum on 1. [alternating double-time and normal time] -Ghengis Khan is upon us - 1&2 for the guitar/drum backbeat with vocals on 2&3&4 (bass drum is ignored because it would be messy). The duh duh duduh duh duh duh parts had hands originally but Tass made me take them out, so now they're the same as the intro. [full double-time] -Intro guitar lick repeats. -Verse 2 - link from hook to verse has snare on (34) and bass drum on 1 or snare on 4 and guitar on 1&3, whichever suits you. The rest of the verse is drums/vox. -Breakdown - jumps for the big chords of the guitars, drumrolls added in for extra spice. Mini guitar solos are stepped to the tab. "Hear the sound" is ignored because the other part is more dominant and since it's just improv. From "Clamoring" on I go back to drums/vox except for the guitar solos. After the breakdown there's the longer solo with hands for loud notes at the end. [normal time] -Pre-chorus - same progression as earlier but with the cymbals stepped. 12ths at the end go pretty obviously to the drums. -Chorus 2 - polyrhythmic section - vocals charted to the same progression but the bass drum 12ths are fit in as trills wherever available. The vocals are on 8ths while everyone else is playing 12ths. -Tomorrow - guitar and snare, pretty simple. Guitar interlude stepped to the tab, I skipped the last few notes in order to give that ringing snare hit more emphasis. -F-C-G chorus (Tomorrow they will find us, etc.) - drums/vox. -False outro - same as intro, last (14)s are different because of the accented snare sound. -Ending - jumps to powerchords, single notes to open strums (based on the lead guitar part on the tab). Vocals layered on. Ending quad just for kicks :) |

That's a really well explained commentary. I feel less annoyed by the song... even though it's technically correct, it still feels a bit too strongly syncopated. Still, you did a hell of a job on the layering, so I'm going to have to change my mind on this one. Bravo!

even though you explain why you stepped it the way you did, it doesn't make it any more fun. Whether or not you stepped it correctly it was a song that following logical patterns was not going to produce a good file. Although it is a great song and i can suffer through it. But i'm glad you explained, at least i understand why i don't like that much.

fun = subjective
correct = objective
If you don't find it fun that's your opinion. This is just out there to show people that it's not a bad file. I'm not trying to convince you that it's fun, I'm trying to convince you that it's correct.

me being a drummer, I loved the file. gj

The file being accurate doesn't make it suck any less.
But you know, that's just my opinion.

It's a good file, but my computer wont let me hit (123) (124) or (1234) together at the same time on the arrow keys. For some reason (234) (134) work fine, but the above wont.

i think you have technically correct confused with good. hopefully not anymore 3years later
