In celebration, I quickly whipped up a dbsong collecting some "early rock" patterns during breakfast, and I didn't have any trouble with the cursor (or with weird crashes, so far). I stuck this dbsong on <http://www.carlaz.com/music/rhythm.html>; it's at the top [of the page]
I should note that I pulled these patterns from that Drummer's Bible book, and the notation there indicated accented hits which I've tried to replicate with samples of different velocities. The dbsong was made using the ns_kit7-based dbkit I've been experimenting with, but there's only a distinction of accented or not-accented amongst the snare, hat, and ride hits, so any kit that can do those will preserve the feel (such as it is!). The book generally presented standard patterns using hi-hat, and suggested playing the hi-hat lines on ride (fair enough) or snare (!), the latter being, apparently, characteristic of "early rock'n'roll" drumming. All that snare sounds odd to my uneducated ears, but those snare-heavy patterns might be good as the starting points for composing fills or something. I have no idea how authentic or useful these patterns really are in practice, but there are lots of little triplety things going on in them that I probably wouldn't have thought about a lot on my own. Ideas, ideas .... Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/
