I'm having a fucking blast working through some of my back-of-the-napkin compositions. Inspiration for rhythms and melodies is great, even when it comes at strange times, but finally being able to hear those ideas played by (samples of) actual drums is priceless. Now the task is to mold those ideas into something drumlines want to play...
The current piece I'm tweaking is a cadence written in 3/4 time signature and at the moment is 16 measures long. There are a few spots for visuals, which is essential to have, and the overall difficulty is intermediate level. It doesn't require hefty chops, but your drumline will need a pretty good sense of triplet timing.
Maybe I'll have the cadence done in a week or two, along with a new website design. This site is more than a blog now, so the current design doesn't cut it.
