Okay, so I am not a drummer and my drummer is leaving for grad school soon. I have recently gotten into programming drums in my sequencer. I am not sure this is the right forum (not sure if it fits with drums or with midi), but here goes.
I was listening to Subdivisions by Rush today and was wondering if you guys think it is even possible to program the really cool ride syncopations that he does in the beginning and all the cool stuff he does on the rides throughout. That is the one thing that always blows me away about Neil Peart, the cymbal work. Has anyone done anything similar? Any tips? He seems to have an almost trademark pattern on the rids that if I could get it once, I could save that midi file for use in multiple songs later.
What do ya think?
