  • So are cymbals wooden too when they're struck by a wooden stick? Or am I missing something? I seen those wooden hand cymbals, but I don't suppose they shimmer in the highs very much. Or are we talking wooden like a cabasa, tambourine, or jingle stick?

    So yeah, somebody finally gets why i said cymbals are wooden too lol.

  • I'm not exactly sure what @5pinlink meant about cymbals being wooden (and I did think about it... ;) ) , but imho - we should probably not use cymbals.

  • @DeanDaughters so no hitting metal with wood, but in the spirit of acoustic instruments made with wood such as stringed instruments, we can use tambourines and jingle sticks, yeah? =D

  • I'm really thinking about heading to a music shop and making some samples with my phone for this one =)

    Yes to tambourines and jingle sticks - and yes to hitting wood with metal, but come on - let's keep in reasonable,
    guys - the goal is not to outsmart the contest rules.

    Everybody knows what is intended here.

    ;)

  • A cymbal doesnt sound unless you hit it with wood, so by its nature it is wooden, any stringed instrument is a combination of wood and metal or wood and plastic.

    The only pure woiden instruments i can think of are the block and Dijeredoo, and even the Dij is pushing the destinction because it wont work without wax lol.

    But i think it is easy enough to interpret @DeanDaughters intentions here, hes doing a ton of work with wood in his studio build, make some music with a ton of woody type sounds ;)

  • @5pinlink Oh thanks for reminding me, I'm gonna sample my didjeridoo!

  • +1 for didjeridoo! :o

  • Even though Aphex Twin got it wrong as well, pretty sure it's spelled "Didgeridoo" ;)

    Big tune at the Cornish raves.

  • Big tune everywhere

  • Thank the lord for wooden shakers!

    They substitute for hi-hats fairly well, it turns out.

    Sanding wood generates good noise as well 😊

    Oh wait, it's anonymous again. Phew!

    How is everyone else going?

  • Ummmmm... I'm behind schedule and need to get down to it! :#

  • Alright, really got something solid cooking last night. Now I feel better =)

  • @DeanDaughters nice! @ronji can't wait to hear it!

  • I keep cooking, but everything comes out of the oven looking like this...

  • Anybody else having patterns like this? 🤭😆🤓👊

  • That's the working title of my whole track right now. It seriously needs some structure!

  • Time to finish up and get submitted if you haven’t already! :p
