Members irnbru83 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 I will tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have some downtime at work while the bosses are busy laying people off :/ Took about an hour to start from scratch, go through your notes in that thread, and create the music above. I'm sure now I could knock it out in less than half the time. I didn't do anything particularly fancy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted January 28, 2009 Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 Not so fast boy. You need 8th rests after the 16ths in the bass drum or beam them to the second 8th in the hihat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members irnbru83 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 When I combined the different Voices, the rests were omitted. Flipping the stems in the opposite direction seems to add the rests back in... but it shows EVERY rest. That just clutters the whole thing. It's not legally readable in its current form? I didn't see anywhere to add a rest haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members drumtechdad Posted January 28, 2009 Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 If you can do tied notes with this, just tie the snare drum quarter note on beat 2 to an 8th-note on beat 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members irnbru83 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 May I ask why? I understand tied notes (in so much as a quarter note from beat 2 tied to an 8th note on beat 3 will show the snare hit is maintained throughout the duration of the tie), but why would I add it in this case? I'm sure there are plenty of rules for sheet music that I'm unaware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, I misunderstood the rhythm due to the lack of rests. If the rhythm has the two 16ths right on beat 3, then you need an 8th rest after it. I thought maybe you wanted the two 16ths on the and of beat 3--another common rhythm--in which case the tied 8th-note would have done the same thing as a rest. Assuming the former: common practice in notation is to include that 8th rest. This makes it a lot easier to read for experienced readers. Another way of thinking about it is that we ordinarily treat the bass and snare as one instrument in a groove like this, so we include as many rests as necessary to add up to 4 quarters/8 eighths.

Members irnbru83 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 Yeah, well I can play with it and see how to add that rest. Like I mentioned earlier, when you combine the Voices into one, the rests get dropped. I have every rest included in the individual Voices... if for no other reason than to keep it all straight in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
