My school plays a clock like cadence, too. It's called Big Ben, and it sounds more like clock gears working. It's pretty intense, though not as intense as this.
OK, so, to everyone who wants to make a criticism to the composition or notation elements of this piece, you really do not have to. Firstly, check out the date of the upload, it's more than 5 years ago, and I've been writing for about 6 years. Obviously I've learned a lot in the past 5 years, and obviously know all about professionally engraving a score that people would actually want to purchase. Secondly, check out my latest material. The endless critiquing over the years is just getting old.
@reeldeelpeel Dude everyone can suck a dick. Ive been listening to this composition for 5 years now and it is awesome I can never get over it. It is awesome and no one deserves to critique it on youtube because they cant come up with half of the stuff you do. Youre a awesome composer and I bet I will be listening to this composition in another 5 years to guaranteed. and this is straight orgasm beginning to end
While most of this show seems like it would be A to low A class, some of the bass stuff is mid to high A almost open class in some parts and then easy again. It has a tendency to not be unified in difficulty. IT's also far to short as an A class piece has to be between 4 and 6 minutes long. open and world can go longer. So you need to add another movement to it. But it sounds really good, if you were to fix my minor grievances I bet this could be a killer show for someone.
@drumr1214 I wrote it mostly when I was 16 and didn't have much battery experience then, didn't even intend it to be an indoor show, so yeah I realize the title is a little misleading.
Pretty impressive. Just avoid beaming over beats (i.e. grouping two dotted eighth notes together in measures where quarter notes are the beat). This of course skews the pulse and makes reading the work more complicated. In the first beat, use dotted eighth with a Sixteenth note tied to the next beat, then two eighths in the next beat - this accomplishes the same thing, but it keeps the beat clear. Little things like this improve the overall quality and professionalism of the work.
@reeldeelpeel Actually, i think you should keep it. You couldn't have done that subconciously back then, seeing as the movie with this theme had not even been thought of back then. I really say it's needs to be in the piece. just my opinion tho. =]
@MarimbaMan13 The theme is from Prisoner of Askaban, which came out in 2004. But, the melody is originally from some other piece, I forget what. I stole it subconsciously whether from the movie or not, and I changed it to avoid potential infringement issues.
This is a great drumline piece but you can tell by the way you put the notes in, you have a very concert approach to marching percussion. I love that, I'm so tired of seeing "drummers" I'm glad to hear from a marching PERCUSSIONist again.
@emesehollandi You'll need to order it from me. Send me a message with your email address and your request and I'll email you info on purchasing. Thanks.
It's possible. I sold nearly a dozen copies of the latest version of this piece. I don't really keep track of who anymore. It could also have just been a similar piece.
just imagine this composition in an actual marching arrangement with all the movement and breath taking music....this would be awesome on the marching field
just imagine this composition in an actual marching arrangement with all the movement and breath taking music....this would be awesome on the marching field
@7222Brit sure you do! Maybe not concert timp, but diddles on a timp for a winterline, or corps show, is quite common. And if the need to be more defined then it's just single stroked.
Awesome! around 2:55 I hear the same descending chordial figure that is used in "Buckbeak's Flight" by John Williams from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
And yeah, I know, I subconsciously stole it when writing. I get this same comment like every 3-4 comments and delete most of them. So trust me, I know!!
@reeldeelpeel It's cool, I subconciously steal stuff all the time when writing. No harm in that (unless like...you just blatantly plagiarise). This was a very awesome composition though anyway. I take it you're a big Danny Elfman fan even in your originals, I hear very similar ideas.
I've changed the melody slightly to make it more original just so you know. Download the mp3 from the description if you'd like to hear all the changes since this upload.
And yeah, Danny Elfman is one of my favorite composers, I'm inspired by his music with almost all my pieces.
This piece is absolutely amazing. I was showed this piece by one of my friends and we're deciding to play this for our percussion concert in May for our school. How would we go about getting the music?
@reeldeelpeel Some of us are very interested actually. A friend of mine, Ryan, says he's actually spoken to you about this. We're all still debating which piece we'll be doing at the end of the school year but one of us will be sure to let you know :-)
Yes, I believe he has contacted me on my facebook fan page. I gave him some info, so hopefully he's read it. Tell him to go read the discussion on my page is he hasn't yet! And info on my other pieces is there too in case another piece would be better.
Just curious, but do you know your vibe melody starting at 2:35 is from Buckbeat's Flight from John Williams' film score to the third Harry Potter Film? Good work though, very cool.
Yes, I do know, thanks. I subconsciously stole it when I wrote it, and I honestly have no idea why. I changed that part almost 3 years ago, very shortly after uploading this, thanks again. And the funny thing is that most of John Williams melodies are taken from other sources, a lot of the times subconsciously as well. It's what musicians do sometimes. In my case, I did it pretty badly, and pretty obviously.
Hey man, I've been writing for percussion for a short time, and played in some amatuer drumlines for two years, aswell as been studying and playing percussion for over 10 years, and this piece is simply amazing!
Really good use of the percussion timbre and brilliantly structured!!
Thanks. But to be honest, I really get annoyed when people use sexual or pornographic terms to express how they feel about something totally unrelated to sex.
Would you be so nice as to give me the score to this? I really want to play this for our Winter Drumline, with all credit to you of course! It's okay if you don't. I'm just asking.
I won't give it to you for free, sorry. However, you can purchase the most current score and parts from me for $20. Send me a message if you this interests you.
@reeldeelpeel Okay, I'll talk to my drumline coach about buying this. because this is a really cool piece! I'm starting to compose myself, you know, and your an inspiration to me!
Wow this was a really awesome piece. But the ending was kind of iffy. I think it would've better to bring back the theme introduced in the beginning after the rit. and then end in a chord.
My cousin, an aspiring drummer, has apparently been very influenced by your work and was kind enough to find this song on Youtube to show me why. I was blown away. You do a great job.
If you mean an audio like an mp3, just give me your email and I'll send you the piece. but if you mean a Sibelius or pdf score, I must have money for my work, sorry.
I'm selling copies of the score/parts/and mp3 bundle-type-deal for $20. Send me an email if you're interested in purchasing, and I can send you a payment request from PayPal. Thanks!
Just an all around great idea from start to finish, it's great! The ticking sounds by the battery was very clever and really helped start and end the song well.
Thanks for your compliments, and for noticing the ticking sounds. It would be even more awesome to see everything put to some kind of drill with clock and time concepts.
This is a great composition. What a great winter percussion piece. Keep up the great work. You have some great compositions up here. Good job brother.
Excellent work! I just got Sibelius, so I'm starting to write some stuff of my own! Pretty inspiring, man. :) Dunno how that timp. solo would cut in a real performance, but overall, an amazing work of art.
Sweet, only suggestion is do the marimba on a grand staff. This would cut down on the billion ledger lines. I could totally hear a scholastic line do this at WGI... I would ask about it but don't think my kids could do it...
Thanks so much! Yeah, I'm not too sure what it was meant to be used for. I would be so honored if any of my music was used in an Olympics commercial :)
i really enjoyed this. it's very hard to use all the instruments you did and make it sound as good as you did :P.. it's a nice blend of corp and classical. i shall call it corpsical. haha no but seriously very hip piece
i love hearing this piece everynow and again. this is one of those pieces that if your not one of those people who cant appreciate all the instuments in the piece, you won´t like it. . . .luckly i am one of those people.B-)
I really like the pit I just wish I could hear the drumline more.

man can you help me i need to know how to make a rimshot whit a snare or snare drum in sibelius( i have sibelius 5)

You change the notehead, with the properties window. Change it to number 51 for a right shot, and 29 for a left.
Why don;t you just go to the website for help? You'll need to learn how to do that anyway if you plan on doing anything serious with the program.

This song sounds a bit scary, but I like the concept of it, because it has lots of rhythm, and dynamics that sound good enough to be in a movie.

Yes, but I'm selling it for $15. I will never give my music away for free ever again. That "luxury" was already abused.

You change the notehead with properties. VDL comes with a manual on which notheads playback which sounds.

Idk if you noticed or not, but there's some beefy mallet parts there too, so hopefully your "drumline" has decent mallet percussionists.
reeldeelpeel 2 years ago

DanTheManMonty15 2 years ago
