using abbreviations could help here...

hh = Hihat
bd = Bass Drum
sd = Snare Drum

now I'm going to put it in a pattern.

x = hit



if you're really getting into it and want to learn more, check out this drumstick manufacturer's website:

there are a lot of online lessons on this thing, and a lot of other things if you go to

My girlfriend has a piano.
I play in a marching band so I could start learning brass or woodwinds right away.

Eagle, if you can't afford a drum set... try the sink!
the iron bowl has a nice djembé sound and the rim has a nice bass because of all the chests underneath it.

try this link for African rhythms:

Cool!!!

There are so many things I want to learn to play:

-piano (I already know a little)
-brass (trumpet, trombone, Tuba)
-woodwinds ( saxophones in different sizes, and so on)
-Accordeon
-Uillean Pipes (Irish bagpipes)
-Bodhrán
-and many more...

I could give an entire list of what music styles I also like, but I think you get bored after a while.

I hope you understand by now that this is a very open and free topic. Dump your links if you're willing and able to go through all the effort and provide us with some fine (in your opinion) music.

The Lobby / Other Interests

It's not really a poll.  
I was wondering what other musical things people of TMA find interesting, which we all should have seen.
 :thumbup:
Your answer is quite sufficient 8-)

I could ofcourse expand it a bit:

Do these interests influence your tracking? If yes, how?

I know this is a gathering of mostly musicians, so I was wondering and pondering what other musical time killers keep you from doing your homework properly, besides tracking.

To melt the ice ánd to give you a slight idea of my intentions, I will provide a few links that rob me of my precious time:

DCI:
http://www.dci.org

What is DCI? Check out this vid:
DCI World Champions 2004: The Cavaliers :thumbup:

And one of the best Snare Drummers. A bit of a show off, but great sense of entertainment and, what's more, great skill:
Individuals&Ensembles: Ivan Pacheco Snare Solo

DCE:
http://www.drumcorpseurope.org

Reggae ofcourse:
Morgan Heritage - She's Still Loving Me (live)

List of all videos of Morgan Heritage on youtube

Of course this wasn't all, but only a short impression of things that keep me busy.

The Lobby / POLL: What's your speciality?

« on: September 10, 2006, 23:59:54 »

My speciality is Reggae. There isn't one single style that I have studied as much as Reggae. Origin, history, artists, fusion forms, common rhythms & phrases and the message behind the music.

My preference goes out to the One Drop Rhythm (bassdrum & rimclick at every 2nd and 4th count) because that, together with a catchy bassline, gives the music that lazy hookiness.

I think I'm good at rhythms and percussive feats since I'm a drummer, although you won't notice, because those songs aren't really suitable for TMA .

Look what I made! / reviewing the W-Files?

« on: September 09, 2006, 12:07:59 »

Is anyone willing and able to review a few of my songs, the Woolters Files, please? I'm very curious about your opinion.

here are the links:

ambient5.xm:
this an ambient song of mine that I've made in a blurry mood.

reggae1.xm:
This is my newest Reggae tune. The first one after my tracking revival. It's short, but looped easily.

reggae5.xm:
I'm pretty proud of the guitar solo in this one. I hope you agree.

reggaeb.xm:
One of my best.

reggaea.xm:
It has no title here, because I forgot to name it before I uploaded it. I hope you like it just as much

cocktail.xm:
The name says it all. It's a cocktail. ingredients: Jazz, R&B and Reggae. Quite catchy.

dixie1.xm:
I never felt so eager to start tracking as with this one. I was on holiday and saw a dixieland jazz band at a local fair. It inspired me, but I had to wait another 11 days before I could start tracking it. I think this one'll put a smile upon your face.

dixie2.xm:
I discovered that it is a great joy to track dixieland jazz. So here's the second.

You don't have to review them all, obviously. If you take a pick I'll be happy just as much.
