I just thought of a fun game to play.... I just drummed to a song, and recorded it. http://www.mediafire.com/?39qzpi2gqh1 - Here 's one little section of the song. See if you can guess what song it is. (If the person who guesses the song correctly is a drummer, go ahead and make your own recording. If not, I'll make another. Sound like fun?) P.S. Sorry for the sloppiness, it's kind of a tough song.  |

Is it Hortz Fur Dehn Stekehn West by Magma?
I actually have no idea. That's what it sounds like to me.

That's exactly what it is. Nice! Anyone who drums can feel free to make a recording. I'll make another later. |

He used to own this computer, so that's the default. Well, Glen is my middle name, so I guess that could be my drummer alias. |

Song # 2: http://www.mediafire.com/?3ju90lna09w - http://www.mediafire.com/?3ju90lna09w (Didn't have my double bass pedal set up, so it's a bit lacking...  ) |

Song #4: http://www.mediafire.com/?8mssmrqyxyy - http://www.mediafire.com/?8mssmrqyxyy (I think the lack of the double bass pedal is an issue here again...maybe not so much as song #2, though) Song #5: http://www.mediafire.com/?a0f2a13nzms - http://www.mediafire.com/?a0f2a13nzms (This song is sort of a jam, so a lot of what I'm doing (besides the opening and the end) is improvised. The first few seconds and the last few seconds (and maybe familiar bits here and there) are really the clues. This is a hard one, I think.) |

Ah, Sing Little Birdie?
Something by Menudo?
  Seriously, i tried guessing # 2, but it would have to be a really distinct beat (or a very distinct drummer, like Bruford) for me to identify a song just from the drumming.
Sorry.
 Carry on shaking your spear (or is that pounding yer skin?), though, Bardo!

 Your elaborate replies never cease to please me.  Here's a hint: #2 is by an extremely popular band in the "Heavy Prog" category. |

No idea what #4 is. -------------

Wrongo! (about #5 being Rush) 4 has GOT to be the easiest out of them all. I'll make it even easier. The Whistler will get it right away. |

I dont know much Tull, I ony have Aqualung and Thick.
#5 almost sounds like Sabbaths war pigs, though I'm thats wrong.

Well #4 ain't on either of those albums. And 5 is DEFINATELY not Black Sabbath. Sort of...dark, though...not BLACK dark....maybe....bloodier....hmmm.... too vague? |

Well, I dont own a lot of underground classic prog.
If you say that #5 involves a lck of bass pedal, then I will probably go with Tool, considering you listened to some the other day. Maybe. -------------

2 and 4 are the ones that could have used a double bass pedal (5 is good the way it is). 4 is doable without the twin pedals, but 2 sounds a little bit lacking without it. |

Clues? Band of Song #2 is from Canada. # 3 Symphonic Swedish outfit. #4 and #5 are both of the 'classic 7' - both British. The really hard song - #5 - is from a "scaled down" version of the band, in their second era, so to speak. Combining what I just gave you with some clues earlier on (and one big clue in Peter's similar thread) should tell you what bands did songs #2 and #4 (unless you can't guess them already - which you should be able to). The clu to #3 is a bit of a give-away, anyway. Anywho, start guessing. |
