Default Re: The "How did you step that?" Thread

hmmm Epidemic

first bit - bass drum for the stream, crashes for the jumps, the bass drum is doing god knows what rhythm so the jumps were in random places and there's lots of notes at the end

first verse thing - random patterns to drums, though I tried to keep the 8th jacks relevant I think (at least I hope that's what I did, otherwise I got really lucky ), jumps for vocals, for the little speed up stream things I didn't make it a jumpstream because that would be gay

after "you had better be prepared..." (jazzy part), jumps for snare drum, singles for everything else, but the jumps are PR to the guitar even though I didn't step the guitar if that makes any sense whatsoever

left-down jump with weird right hand stuff measure - jumps for the bass drum everything else is ride cymbal, jumps in the transition are to the guitar

next part (lol hard to name these) - jumps are PR to guitar (even though it changes a lot and the music doesn't), everything else is random patterns give or take

slowdown - jumps to the accents, not jumps to the not accents, PRish

fast 3/4 part with singing - jumps to bass drum or snare except for the really fast ones, it relied more on feel than technicality, patterns are random but influenced by having to avoid framers

back to screaming - stream to drums, jumps are for vocals, hey look it's a jumpstream

breakdown - sorta random patterns, the jumps go to the accented cymbal beat but the different jumps go to different sounds even though they're not PR in a technical sense
breakdown p2 - yay jumps for everything 'cause it's really heavy
breakdown back to not all jumps - jumps for vocals instead this time
breakdown heavy again - yay jumps

really slow 24ths - jumps for guitar or cymbals or vocals or whatever. it's really heavy so I put in a ton of jumps, no concrete reason why.

sexy time - sexy time

morning after - jumpstream with the drummer ****ting out random rhythms again, I simplified the weird rhythms to 16ths and made the jumps random rather than having a ton of colored notes that make no sense. I think the jumps go to the hi-hat/cymbals, or they went to vocals and I ****ed up lol can't remember

jazz part 2 - random patterns for the ride cymbal, jumps to snare drum. jumps are PR to the guitar in the ffrhand part, the grace notes are drums

ending breakdown fadeout - drone note goes to the guitar/bass drum, jumps for the cymbals. the jumps were random arrows and I think I either left turned it or mirrorpasted, I forget



And that's all. It's not really a technical file in the modern sense but I think I balanced fun patterns with consistency and PR to make for a fun file.
