immature
This isn't about recording but i need a bit of help.
I'm in a new band which i've just joined. There have been a few issues so far.
They are 11 years older than me..thats been a bit wierd.
I had no part in the writing of the songs (usually i get very involved)
And finally...most of there songs are in 6/8.
6/8 is still a natural time sig for me, i can play it without thinking...but we need some strong grooves to power along the song, a lot of it is tribal tom work. But the majority of it is keeping the tribal tom grooves rhythm within the hi-hat grooves. So combining the tom parts with the new grooves you introduce.
What i need help with is finding 6/8 grooves. Nothing I'm playing is powering allong the groove. In 4/4 is easy as almost everything you've heard is in 4/4 so you have all this 'stock' drum grooves you can try out etc.
In 6/8 you dont have that, and it's getting tedius trying to power along these tracks with something thats...just..not quite there. It almost it. But something is missing.
I need to hear any song you can think of in 6/8 that are powerful/rock/moving. This way i can get ideas from them.
Thanks guys.
