PeterthePapercomPoser Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago Hey @General Pokopo! 1) LoL I didn't know that cats could play drums. Usually starting a piece with this much heavy drumming is a big turn off for me because its obvious to me as the listener that it's not a real drummer playing the drum set so unless it's some awesomely humanized drum fill/solo that starts the song off with a bang then I perceive it as kinda like a bummer/let-down. This is another one of those songs that seems to be based almost completely on the drums as the center stage instrument, and if it's not awesome it's going to disappoint the listener who expects the drummer to really kick-ass. If the drums weren't the focus of the song then they wouldn't be as important to be realistic though. 2) This is a different style than the first track - what I perceive as more of a electronica/glitch-fest drum loop type of thing. This is really far from the kind of music I usually listen to so I don't know that there's much constructive criticism that I can give. 3) I like that the drums aren't the focus in this one even though they're still present. This does have more melodic substance than the others. It seems like in your pieces, if the drums aren't the focus of the track, then you don't know what to focus on. Maybe try writing a piece for a solo monophonic instrument and a polyphonic instrument to back it up (like piano, guitar, harp or any keyboard instrument, even celesta or marimba or vibraphone or something). I think if you have only 1 solo instrument and 1 accompanying instrument it might force you to focus. Or maybe you already know how to do that and it's just not obvious in these particular pieces. If that's the case then feel free to ignore. Thanks of sharing! 1 Quote
