RDX Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hey guys. So here we have, this song. I don't know why, but I'm having a pretty hard time getting the drums down, namely the hi-hat. The snare is easy enough, but the rhythm on the hi-hat... Do I just have to get into the groove of the song to get it down right? That's kind of difficult. If it makes any difference I'm trying to make a midi of it. Just for practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 They've got some swing, you should offset the 16th notes (the ones between 8th notes, make them a little later, a little more to the right). The hihat patterns in the song aren't difficult, but it takes some getting used to the groove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moseph Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 The rhythm is swung, if that's any help. If you aren't familiar with transcribing swung eighth and sixteenth notes, it may be easier if you write in 12/8 instead of 4/4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
