Lower stick heights (softer individually) and unison playing is generally >>>> higher stick heights and slightly out of unison. Then you get more intricate things, your splits across the snare line (e.g. have this roll be half-speed, but half the line is offset from each other such that it sounds like a full-speed roll), stick tricks/visuals. Then there's the crazy #### BK does. BK's battery writing is different from basically anyone else--much more legato drumming than you usually hear (more roughs [two or three grace notes into the main note, in contrast to the single grace note of a flam], etc.). If you listen to percussion enough, you can start to tell whose writing is whose. Legatos/roughs/etc. is going to be Mike Jackson's BK writing. Rennick's writing has a bit more "classic" feel to it, for lack of a better term. ScoJo writes like they're trying to ram as many notes down their gullet as possible. McNutt really likes flams. Etc. I was a pit guy when I did corps-style things; others will probably be able to make clearer writing-style distinctions than I can (garfield?). My lack of percussion knowledge is even making me question what I just read, because I didn't understand ANY of that... I've tried to understand and be able to read battery parts for 10 years now, and I still can't. I'll just stick with my brass/guitar/piano. Lol.

Hannum loves hand motion changes as often as possible. Aungst makes it feel like a ton of notes when it really isn't...Rarick goes for notes/groove and "what the #### was that" LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the "etc" include an excessive, abundant, bounteous and yet extremely substantial amount of paradiddles, double paradiddles, triple paradiddles and paradiddle-diddles? Lol!
