ongchinkai wrote:Like Ruby suggested, you can consider a prelude to the actual piece? The prelude can be parts of the current piece you're playing, or it can be a "warmup" rhythm to get everyone into groove.

If you watch the authentic performances, you'll notice that they always play something before the actual piece starts. That could be it.

I hope I get the terms right. It's really hard to describe it here, but I'll try.
1. Start with a solo drum roll, gradually up tempo, fade. (ie, "D......D.....D....D...D..D.Ddddddddd....")
PAUSE
2. Up tempo, short prelude. Solo lead, then the others join in one by one. Prelude should be for everyone to warmup.
PAUSE
3. Actual piece - played at original speed (which is going to be a challenge), and don't forget the shout right at the start - "Ha!"

I don't understand your no.2 o.O

Or maybe not that fast? The current speed is quite...sleep-inducing. It definitely has to be faster.

but den will be under 3 mins... hmm.. maybe add in some other sounds?

In other words, this part is self-arranged, but basically, for this part, it starts with one drummer, and ends with everyone playing. Aim is to warm up everyone for the actual piece.

O_O.

Everyone can head for the meeting first, then go together to KBCC for the training.

For those wondering how to get to NTU, go to Boon Lay Interchange and take 179.

I'm afraid I cannot join you guys on Saturday, I got to head down to the city and Bishan (SHF) to do stuffs.

by Skyne Keira Fri Mar 27, 2009 2:33 pm

everybody! lets head down to kebun baru after the briefing! all go for the briefing kay?
i never been to ntu before...super-excited

by **yuu_yuki** Fri Mar 27, 2009 2:57 pm

Die, now then saw this sia..

But guys, if we all go down together and the thing ends at 3pm, what time will we reach KBCC to practice? xD

by Rubyrain Fri Mar 27, 2009 8:08 pm

i don't think we can all go lor. most likely they will only admit registered members. i can't make it this sat cuz i have lessons. maybe get someone to go "chope" the room 1st? in case CC thinks we skip practice or something?

by HareHareYukai Fri Mar 27, 2009 10:00 pm

yuu will not be coming for the briefing. she's going to kbcc. all others who want to go kbcc please do so directly and ignore the briefing. briefing only applies to our own teammates.
members who are coming plz meet @ jp arcade @ 1230pm. (no we dont intend to play there, its just that i rather meet there than meet at ctrl station.)

by **yuu_yuki** Wed Apr 08, 2009 3:59 pm

Here are the MESSY videos for prac. Members, do listen to improve and spot what mistakes we've made.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce2TL78XziI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24wELYUnlrE

For helpers, those who can and have the necessary abilities to contribute please do so.

Else no point sitting there while you know what went wrong and keep quiet. Just open your mouth and tell us what went wrong or what can be improved, what can be done, during the practice. Just suggest anything good that can be added to the colors of the piece..

YEA... need help for us... stuck somewhr...

by jenny_amh Thu Apr 09, 2009 1:47 pm

the first part for extending song is all right.. as for 2nd part.. it is not yet syronzied.. can hear that it not good yet.. the other version playing with water de very confuse.. the sound itself confusing.. can hear the water but the rest hear already like "杂音".. =.=

the first part one u all use muz de?? o.O it was a very good try.. it suit nice to the piece.. =)

in overall.. the front parts can say ok already.. it only the behind few parts.. like one version soft and then other version louder.. hmm..

by **yuu_yuki** Thu Apr 09, 2009 5:43 pm

2nd part of the song will never be good unless all get the correct timing.
The first part is not from muzu, it's the original mp3 song of taiko ranbu with some minor difference.

by Zenova Thu Apr 09, 2009 9:45 pm

i'm not very good but i'll try to give a bit comment...

hmm... is this the final version? cuz if it is just need more practice on rhythm + coordination and then master those funny funny stickings, then when all the general things are perfect if you want to or if needed, can speed up and add more cool stuff...

for now i not too sure cuz i not really completely following everything stated in your pracs and i dun have your edited scores so i'm not quite sure what has been added or what is correct... sry! ><"

by Skyne Keira Fri Apr 10, 2009 8:22 am

well,i apologize for my incompetence in pulling off yuu's drama stint,but i have a small opinion regarding the thing...
well,can we suspend the drum?
cuz i can do drumming while bent over,and i guess that is something most people can't really do. like,suspend the drum,then i slowly bend over while drumming. as for yuu and brandon,during that drama portion,won't you two look static?but then again,i can't really pull it off,so hard to say.

You show us on saturday, don't really get what you mean though.

Guys,
We seriously have to buck up on our progress now, else we can never make it.
These are the links to the winners of 2008 DrumZout:

Champion:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC3ejlgShs8

1st Runner up:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nZG-wOWa4E

2nd Runner up:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db4g7B04jRU

All of their pieces are fast tempo pieces to draw the crowd's attention, so if we don't work as a team and REALLY buck up now, we won't even get far.
Seriously.. Listening to our vids and theirs, it's so demoralizing.

by Skyne Keira Wed Apr 22, 2009 12:37 am

ranbu is crazy.
lets see...can we try combining two songs?
like,bai hua,then ranbu or something?

Maybe you wanna try to mix it first and show me the concept?

by Zenova Wed Apr 22, 2009 8:32 pm

oh yeah other than remixes, if you guys wanna play something different, like for the finals or smth, can play a song + its inverted version together =p

by PegaKok Mon May 04, 2009 10:47 am

At the start of the original song of 太鼓乱舞, have any1 actually heard a "shout" before the notes start coming in? o.O
