Hey Drummerworld, haven't been on in a few months, but since they took Facebook away from us at work I need to be somewhere to pass the time, so think I'll be hanging around here a bit more.
So I am leading my first band, doing the arrangements, running rehearsals. There is a song we do where I put in a 16 bar drum solo. Its designed to where its a bar of the band doing the chord changes with short, stacatto, syncopated rhythms, and the next bar is open solo, and back and forth.
I'm wanting to compose a creative solo that's not just single strokes up and down the toms. So I have 8 'empty' measures I need to fill. The song is 145 bpm, its rock, straight time. I have 3 licks written, I'm thinking maybe 1-2 of the measures can be basic single stroke stuff, but that still leaves at least 3 seperate measures of solo that I need to come up with musical ideas for.
What I'd love to see are ideas from other drummers here of some cool, innovative measure long licks. Maybe like sheet music of a bar of fill or something? It can be as basic or complex as you want, I can always simplify/expand on the concepts if I like the idea.
This is also something that others can share as well.
