You could just pick a fairly regular 4/4 pattern then slice and dice it to your needs...


Yes, As in waltz :-)

I've managed to drum up something quite horrible, but functional...

As for slicing and dicing 4/4 loops... I have tried and the results are chaotic and unsitable for my need :-(

@bloodline:

Maybe you should check the "bob clearmountain" sample cd.

I have programmed some 3/4 beats with good luck, im mostly into 4/4 though  ;-)


I spent today recording my first 3/4 song... I'm almost ready to show it to the rest of the band. But I want some drums on it, I know how they should sound, but I can't seem to get it right.

My mind just slips into 4/4 without me knowing about it :-(

I mixed a sliced and diced 4/4 loop with my own hideous creation, and it sounds great :-D

I love the way it sounds, but, it does sound too much like a Millitary March... is this a "feature" of 3/4 drum patterns? Since I have nothing to compare it with... maybe "Golden Brown", but that is justa hihat and a cymbol :-(

Hmm, militrary march is usually 2/4 or 4/4 isnt it? Still I can imagine it has a sort of "um pah pah" thing going. Chuck a tuba bassline and see how it goes

I kinda like odd timing. Some stuff I did once alternated 7/8 and 4/4 in places. Had a certian "tripping over the drumkit" quality...
 


I'll run the multitrack through onto the computer and send it to you if you like.
