6/4 Drumming

Yeah I didn't know what to title this haha, this is the drums for the beginning of one of my band's new songs... it's pretty freakin tough! I do some 6/4 stuff in the beginning! Works nicely.

Please tell me what you think :) Oh and I tried out a different angle! Next angle I'm trying is gonna be behind me and to the right.

Why do 6/4 and 6/8 sound identical to me? :(

[AcidRaiNz0Rz]

@xheartshapebox In 6/8, the eighth note gets the pulse, 6/4, the quarter note gets the pulse. 6/8 will have more of a triplet/swing feel since counting 6 eighths is almost like counting triplets.

I fucking like! :D

Awesome!

@Furiiiiouz I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one :P

[Furiiiiouz]

@AcidRaiNz0Rz 2 bars of 4/4..it would be a bar of 7/4 and then 2 bars of 4/4....listen to the sound of muzak by porcupine tree or look up Gavin Harrison playing it, he plays a 7/8 over 4/4 and switches into a 4/4 chorus not a bar of 8/4 chorus...double of time signatures don't exist because its just illogical

[AcidRaiNz0Rz]

@Furiiiiouz 8/4 definitely exists. It simply depends on where the accents are in the measure and how it's phrased. If there's for instance a 7/4 section going on, and the writer wants to add another quarter note to the last measure to mix it up, it would seem logical to just make it 8/4 instead of 4/4.

@OctopusCabbage you do realize what you said makes absolutely no sense. If 1 and 3 get the accents 5 and 7 are 1 and 3 of the next bar of 4/4 ..8/4 doesnt exist lol

[OctopusCabbage]

@GHProProductions Actually 8/4 and 4/4 would have slightly different feels because you would accent diferent beats. In 4/4 you accent 1 and 3 and in 8/4 you wold accent 1 3 5 7.

I like how you dropped the sticks!

[PJ20TEN]

you gotta secure your bass drum mate. It's quite wobbly

@GHProProductions We all realized it at some point! Lol part of learning! It took me a long time to be able to distinguish the difference between anything with /8 and something with /4.
