![]() ![]() But outside of that, the tablature is not readily readable. Looking at the tablature, I'm able to make any notation inventions my mind comes up with (eg my use of '^ ^^ ^' to denote a swung paradiddle). However the HiHat open notation 'o' gets lost in the groupings compared to the sextuplet '6' version. The triplet '3' groupings in the 8th note triplet version above make it obvious the kind of pattern being played on the HiHat. ![]() I can understand how it could be difficult to sight read, but to interpret and share ideas, I find it very useful. Then clicking on a box in the grid is akin to playing a note for that part.ĮDIT: The benefit of drum tablature is everything is spatially notated, and therefore gives a more visual representation of grooves and stickings. Or a generic one that lets you name the parts. Perhaps this inspires a new tablature tool on DW ( Imagine a button that inserts a 4/4 grid with sextuplet divisions, with 2 toms, snare, kick, floortom, hihat, ride, hihat foot, cowbell, etc. Think of it as a format for sharing ideas, rather than "is this what I need to use to construct sheet music out of in a band setting?". The good news is it works for people who don't get note durations from formal notation. HiHat and Ride patterns can be written with 'x', but if I'm trying to convey a certain sticking, I'll use 'R' and 'L' instead. A lowercase 'o' on the kick line indicates a note placement, however the same 'o' on the "HiHat foot" line indicates an OPEN position. It's limited so you have to use your imagination. ![]() Problem is, I have the attention span of a bottle rocket.ĪNY TOOL I CAN FIND that will help me (in any endeavor I choose), I am all for. I have never been able to learn much of anything from reading even though I can read fairly well. I listened in class and I did the lab experiments and tests. When I watch someone doing it, I instantly get a far better grasp.īack in 1993 I got an associates degree in electronics engineering. When I look at the Xs and Os and the vertical stick moving swiftly across the horizontal snare wires, it kinda baffles me. I wanted drums basically my whole life (after playing guitar by ear for a lot of it), and finally got a kit in June last year. Rumor has it Paul McCartney doesn't read music, yet, in my mind, he's a musical genius. Your example of lines of code, and alternate lines of code (I think that's what that is), is a good example. Even a total noob could kind of "hear" this representation:Ĭlick to expand.One thing I have learned in my many moons on this sphere we live on is that people learn things differently from one another. ![]() What I mean is that there's a use case for every representation of whatever data. while this representation is much more accessible: ![]()
