Sticky Beat This! Theme Suggestions

[2GooD Productions]

Maybe instrument based?

Guitar centric beat
Analog drums only

Or a weird combination of instruments?

Only analog drums and acoustic instruments?

Says the guy that plays guitar and uses acoustic drums

 

[TWU]

Rainforest
Polyrhythm
Rhodes
80s synthesizer sounds

Polyrhythms would be dope.

Maybe odd time signatures? 6/8 or 7/4

 

[Iron Keys]

Just say it

"Can we have an all acoustic rock song beat this"



With all your acoustic this and time sig that

The thing with some of these themes is let's say it's Acoustic Drums. Well, some might do that and then add other stuff to it so you can't really tell if they're acoustic or not. Some will just ignore the theme. Some will vote for whatever beat regardless of the theme.

I find it's best to be more general with the themes like Rock, Jazzy, Guitar, etc.

I'm sure some of you remember the "No Drums" fiasco from years ago.

In the past some people would submit a beat without following the theme and I'd email them and they'd either not respond, or would say that it does have guitar in it or whatever. So now I just put the beats in anyway, hoping everyone that votes knows not to vote for the beat that doesn't follow the theme.

Still pissed I didn't win that one

One member was hounding me for ages about how it was so good and they want me to finish it too as they can't stop listening to it (always the best feedback)

Believe that member may have actually won the battle as well

fond memories aside,

The questions in the thread

It teeters on the “Flip This” realm,

But a sound pack Beat This would be dope. Mad Zach used to post his sound packs in the DJTT forum and people would have a go at it.

Not sure how it could be done here, or if anyone would actually care for that.

Maybe a pack with a simple drum kit, a few different loops (chords, melody, bass) and we just have at it.

I’m on different platforms and they have a similair approach there. The winner uploads a new sample pack, with a set of rules. It’s dope because everyone has the same samples to work with, but maybe more like something as addition to the regular battles here…
