My first attempt at writing a piece based on some artwork. I chose the following piece, by Meorow:
Tried doing something a bit more unorthodox by combining Jazz and Dnb. Hope you guys like it! I intend to work on this more once the contest is done and I've finished a few other projects, but I like where it's headed.
Slaps.
Nice swing 4/4 rhythms and the melodies grooved. Sounds were well mixed and compressed to impress. I can see some people griping over the power in that snare drum but hey... it's drum and bass. The kit is half the point. I realized years ago listening to Noisia and Evol Intent that a good drum kit can fill all of the space in the mix on it's own.
My only direction is that there might have been some more variety in the aux percussion. Some tamb triplets, a couple of splash cymbals, a vibraslap, maybe an orchestral bass drum swell. If this wasn't AIM I'd recommend some vocal samples of Bernard Shaw or Morgan Freeman saying something inspirational but hey, samples skirt the line of acceptability in comps.
Good luck Wolfie, I really love this sound <3

You're the first person on this site to call me by my nickname (Wolfy) since I joined this site, lol!
But that's all very valid feedback, and I'll definitely look into some vocal samples, that's a really neat idea! I'll definitely look into further auxiliary percussion.
I haven't seen anyone really complaining about the snare myself, and I think it's a relatively light snare for something like DnB, but that may just be my inexperience talking.
Thanks so much for the review, and I'm really glad you liked it!
P.S. Not sure if this counts, but all the high hats throughout the piece were played in 12th notes, so a sped up triplets :3
damn this is good.
COOL NICE AUDIO
