THIS IS AWEOMSE! and I don't just say that because I have CAP LOCKS ON. I really dig all of it, but I'd love to hear the bass "lines" in and electric bass. I really dig the bowed parts. Nice work BC!!!!
Thank you, I appreciate it.
I really took my time to understand your rhythms. That's something I've been working on since leaving the jazz world. I've only recently become aware to how important hits are in non jazz music. In jazz, there'll be some songs that utilize them. But in almost every other genre, they're huge and very integral to the tune. Could you explain a little more what you're looking for with electric? Do you want just electric, or electric and upright?
That's funny, I would characterize the importance of hits in pretty much the opposite way coming from the perspective of a drummer. The only time you really see hits is in jazz or big band stuff-- in fact a lot of times jazz (drum) charts are just those weird horizontal bars to denote the jazz ride pattern with hits on top (not even any particular orchestration). But with most other genres it's more important to just keep the groove going. Also that track is fantastic.
Thanks for the kind words galen. Hmm, very interesting. Yeah as a bassist, lead sheets rarely denote specific hits. Since graduating I've played with a few groups casually and hits are what make a song unique.
That said, groove is always of the utmost importance, regardless of genre.
