Mendez Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) Scraped has been completed He listened to an instrumental version of the song without most of BBF's guitars (with the exception of the vocals that are left in the "other instruments" track of the multitrack) His thought's on the album version: "haha I did the exact same snare thing at 0:31, but damn that tom beat is sweet. i really like the original. the main beats are very different than what i played. i like that tom beat a lot though" Talking about the first verse riff and the chorus: "yea I was really feeling that bass line and felt it should be almost funky there. I thought how I did those big chorus's with the slower feel was cool. I notice in the original the tempo feel doesnt change" Edited November 24, 2019 by Mendez 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoochild Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Listening now to Shacklers and Scraped. Thought the drums let both songs breath a lot more. I do love Brain's original drums on Scraped (by far, the best thing on the track, but seriously in need of a better mixing) and missed some of his elements. It's interesting though how the disco bridge is reinterpreted as a more hardcore speedy feel. I loved the the change in the tempo in both songs, both provided a lot more dynamics to those busy arrangements. I really wish some of the songs had this more straight forward approach in the studio version though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendez Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Madagascar is done His thoughts: "the drums at the end are pretty epic. i like the sound of the electronic drum sounds also" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimalScream Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Really sweet to hear these alternatives takes on the song! Don't know much about drumming to review them properly, but here's my take: Better sounds kinda halfway between the original and DJ's version of the song; Prostitute works almost like a sister ballad to This I Love. TWAT i found really close to the original, and as such, a much more interisting alt drum take than any of the recent (+- dB). Also I really liked how the end could bridge into Atlas haha. Same for the verse of Madagascar. Shackler and Scraped were the ones that didn't quite work for me with so many signature changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yeah i can see that. Caught me off guard at first but I warmed up to it alot. But then i thought how do you even drum to a horn section without it just being a marching band snare roll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, it may be because of how I already have some expectations about how this song "should" sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all of the tracks, I sent him drum and bassless versions so any rhythmic-locking-in that the bass track may have done would not influence them, while keeping all other instruments and vocals intact so he could feel the song Was curious how an outside entity would drum to songs that we more or less know without any influence of how the drums are supposed to sound. Recently a bunch of old demos of these songs leaked online but with a different drummer. He played the same rhythmic parts but with slight variations. so that made me think: how a different drummer would play the songs from scratch Soundcloud wouldn't let me upload the original instruments with vocals, so excuse my cover edit: replaced the cover, with an improved cover Thoughts? Update: Could u post the links to these songs, or isn't it alowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
