my intention is not to brag, but my ear for music is really quite exceptional, to the point where i surprise myself pretty often. Interesting that you all must tab it out and analyze the end of the grudge. Noticed I had forgot a line in the transcription (snare, dbl bass, snare, dbl base, snare, dbl bass). One more thing, if you look into my personal web server directory, you'll find another little bonus from the DC clinic (I'll be transcribing that song soon).ĮDIT - OOOPS. I'll post the staff notation later, the Tylenol PM is kicking in, and I'm getting tired really quickly. Here is the MIDI file which directly plays from the above notation:
Actually 10/10 is correct for the current transcription, but I broke it down into smaller phrases at the time, and for some reason, I'm thinking it was for AJ's guitar line. The current signatures are based on DC's phrasing. The time signatures are correct, they are just broken down differently. Hum Adam's line and you'll see it's fairly accurate. It seems as if DC is trying to accent everybody at the same time. It does seem weird at first, but once you play some of his stuff, it makes a little more sense. I notice that DC and Justin seem to be a little more in tune with each other judging from the various interviews and concerts that I've seen. but he kinda >keeps the deep end of the drums with bass and cymbals/snare with adam alot. >get videos off kazaa.keeping in touch with bass is the key though. Be advised that this is a personal web server and it may not be available 24/7.
So I synced (sunced, sanced? :P) the album audio with the video, and came up with a pretty good result. However, DC didn't stray to far when he performed the songs. I aquired some video during the PA clinic that helped immensly. >try watching it live that always helps me. The snare note is in a weird position due to the way it maps out in the music notation software.
NOTE: Oops, forgot to mark the drum staff lines. Practicing this part is also great for your melodic co-ordination as well (it actually looks like an exercise from 4-Way Coordination). I have played this on the kit, but I can't get it anywhere near DC's speed, so I can't really go off of that. It sounds pretty close though with the midi file. I'm still not 100% sure what exactly DC is doing with the 16th note phrases so I've approximated thus far. Anyways, below are the last four measures of the Grudge. I hope to get some feedback from you musicians out there so I can get this as accurate and precise as possible. It will slow down the part and try to maintain the pitch, although it is not perfect. BTW, if your trying to figure out some of DC's parts, I recommend using Soundforge's Time Stretch process. I am going to start at the end and work my way backwards just because of DC's very "crazy" ending. In fact, I am using Mike Land's (the one from ) tab as a starting point to build this. I'm not bashing the authors of those tabs though, so please don't look at it that way. I've seen lots of Grudge drum tabs, but I am not satisfied with the accuracy in said tabs. I figured the Grudge would be a good place to start. I am trying to correctly score the whole song in attempt to familiarize myself more with writing and reading musical notation. Can somebody please help me with this! That solo seems >to make little to no sense. After that, Danny goes into a crazy drum solo that seems as if it is in no time >signature whatsoever.
