question about Dog Boots

[Anders]

hi, my drum instructor and i was talking about Dog Boots...

and he says that it is 32nd-notes Virgil are playing.....

but it is double strokes...rigth??? :confused:

[jimi]

200 bpm double strokes = 16th notes!

[Anders]

thanks jimi...

[peter]

Jimi,

Doesn't it depend on how you're counting it?

[jimi]

I was going on how i feel them when i hear the song and also the transcription from MD mag. But im definite Virgil sees them as 16ths ...

[alencore]

your instructor is totally correct. 32nd notes using doubles of course.

so one quarter note simply has this 32nd note figures....rrllrrll although virg does it like this i think...rllrrllr.

[Anders]

yes...but he don't belive that it is double strokes

[alencore]

well, you better make him watch some virgil vids or else he'll be a dumb ass teacher...lol.

[rythmtroll]

Too bad Virgil beginds to burn out hard towards a little after the middle of Dog Boots. Its all weak and vauge at the end. hey dont even sound like double strokes at the end. Gay

Weak and Whack. You're "overcomplicating" it when it comes to notating the groove.

Instead of playing straight 2 and 4 and straight quarters on the hats, which I as well as many others would agree to be a simpler and a much more comprehendable transcription, you're (obviously) doubling everything maybe to save space on paper.

I don't know, maybe it's just my realist side speaking, but you know... like I said, seems easier to me if it's notated as Jimi said-- straight 16th note inverted double strokes at 200bpm.

[alencore]

lol...no i'm not trying to overcomplicate it. it's just the way i understand it in terms of note value per quarter note. it's totally elementary. i just didn't bother writing the whole bar obviously. well atleast we agree on inverted doubles figures.

[D.W.A.]

am i the only one that doesnt have rythmtroll ignored?.......lmao

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh.

[peter]

Yes. I believe the instructor is correct, along
with Alencore.

If 16th notes are 4 to every qtr., then 32nd
notes are 8 to every qtr. and that's what we
have when we double the 16th notes on the
kick. The important thing is to stop talking
about it and do it and I KNOW YOU CAN. :)

[alencore]

hehe...agree....let's do the doubles on thy feets like crazy.

[slamnovalis]

Ha, I agree, Peter. Might I also add that I wasn't thinking when I type "quarters on the hats." I honestly did mean 8ths.... and since I can play it, I'd like to talk about it some more:)
