In BTPISIO...he does the same thing, until 34 seconds in then he adds a *tink tink tink* on top of what he already had (I dont know anything about drums)
Or in Leper Affinity... 1:17-1:18
crash crash crash crash
(Sorry- I'm having a Lopez appreciation moment)
Ahh, thank god somebody else appreciates him!!!! ( and posts it ).
That part in leper, crashx2, crashx2.
About By The Pain I See In Others, I don't know what you mean by *tink tink tink*, but between snare hits he'll hit a crash twice (snare, crashcrash, snare), then snare. then snaresnare highat, snaresnare Tom(low pitched).
The more accurate description would be *tink tink*.
My favorite fill is actually right after that. Crash, Snare, Crash, Snare, Crash.
highathighat snare +crash. at 40 seconds. heh those 2 fills are great before it goes into the ownage section after that. I wonder, like EVERY OTHER drum part, how he came up with it. Probably just messing around on the kit. It follows guitar, so maybe Mike Riffed it first, then Lopez copied.
If you don't know what section i'm taking about it's the bassx3 snare, bassx3 snare. then steady double bass with snare snare, snaresnare.(double bass ends last snare hit and the 3 bass drum hits immediately start again, so it's some number divisible by 2 then +3 before the next snare) Greatness. then the 4 count fills.
These kind of things are the things that he usually forgets to play live, since there's a lot to remember, and it would be boring playing it hundreds of times. He probably didn't remember it anyway. You know, that day he was "feeling" that, and when he plays the song another time, something else will just come to mind.
But, when i rehearse the songs myself I like to play exactly like he did recording it, I don't have to, but it's more of a challenge and it's cool, becuase I'm playing what I'm hearing. Also, I want to make sure that I can play him EXACTLY.
Anyway, sometimes he nails a part live that I know is coming and it's GREAT. But. sadly other times it's a shitty fill, lol. Not shitty, just not the one I wanted to hear.
Ok a lot of that is really a whole bunch of shit if you aren't some sort of musician beucase you probably won't understand it, becuase i didn't tab it, i don't feel like it. haha. It's a terrible description. But for those of you who do, metal all the way.
By the way for any of you who would like for me to cover a song or clip or whatever from any Lopez stuff let me know. If it's a fill description I can play it and slow it down for you and play it again or whatever. Keep me busy fellas, bring in the requests. (Remember I can't do double bass faster than like 625bpm).
Part of that is because I never bought new pedals, they're still the pedals that came with the set, FP7210 from Yamaha or something. And the other part is becuase i'm just not that good at double bass I guess.
Just so you know, Lopez goes like 800bpm and I do 625bpm, so that's a whole lot faster.
