Me and my band kinda Junglish

[Amelczer]

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting anything in here so here you go

http://media.putfile.com/AI-Droguenbeis

This is me with my band a couple of years ago when i first started messing around with jungle rhytms, at the time i must have been playing these types of rhytms for 2 months more or less so i guess the feel isnt all there but i just thought i'd share this with you guys and i'd really appreciate if you'd share some comments.

Omg Dude, hahahaha, that is awesome! Great! Sounds pretty tight to me, man. Keep up the good work!

[Crazy]

That is so great man I love the music very tight and sweet.
By the way in the beginning how do you keep that snare going (sounds fast) while on the hi hat ?

[Amelczer]

It's just singles between the hat and a 10" snare, right hand on hat and left on snare

[Backwards Marathon]

awesome love the tunes. drumming sounds great. keep up the good work.

[TopCat]

I really, really enjoyed that. Are you still with this band then? I much prefer junglish/electronic/ whatever with acoustic drums.

[Drummer Karl]

just WOOOOW, love it!!! So cool, so sweet, so tight, just love it...and your drum sound is kinda funky!
really makes me happy!

Karl

[incubotic]

that is some sweet music. very original and pleasant. Love your drumming.

[MrCrazy]

I liked it how it was like DnB but had the trumpet going which almost gave it a hip-hop feel.

[Amelczer]

Thank you for the positivity.
And to answer Topcat's question, unfortunately no, the band no longer exists.
I have some more tunes if you'd like to hear 'em, but they cover other syles of music like latin, bossa, reggae and joropo.

[radeq]

yes yes :) very nice :) what kind of snare are you using?

[Amelczer]

It's a 10" Yamaha stage custom

[ding]

It's just singles between the hat and a 10" snare, right hand on hat and left on snare

were you playing with a drum loop?
i hear some electric drum sound at the beginning
or you were using your left foot to do that?

[ccase2k]

Geez this is really good, EXCELLENT snare control especially in the beggining.Great sound and quality. Would love to hear more soon.

Thanks for all the comments, here's another song from the same demo, it's more of a latin groove.

man this stuff is really cool! nice work! i wish i could do stuff like this so cool!
what highhats are you using?

[groovemaster_flex]

WOW! omg, i luv the snare/hi-hat thing u did at the start, and the bell u did near the end! that was sweet =) ur trumpet player was pretty sick too!

[groovemaster_flex]

can u post it as quicktime...?

[MECHT4NK]

I like it but what's the tapping-like sound in the beginning and how did you record it.

[Amelczer]

There's a loop underneath it all, but it's not a drum loop it's electronic percusion so i could use it as a click track, it ended up sounding cool so we kept it, but the drums are all live

[Drummer Karl]

I`m listening to it one more time...it is really a great tune and I`m really interested in Jungle and DnB in the last time...so what do you play in the beginning? Can give me the hand setting please? Sounds VERY fast and so cool...

Karl

[Amelczer]

Hey Karl, i'm flattered you like my playing thanks for the positive comments. The begining is just 16ths between hh and a 10 snare, right hand hat, left hand snare, that's it nothing more to it and it sounds cool, i actually stole that lick from listening to a squarepusher album called hard normal daddy, dont remember which track, i think it's beep street.

wow, really simple but I love it! I love this tune, I love this Jungle style! Great job!

Karl

[monava]

That first tune is totally SIQ! I never heard anybody do that acoustically -- tell about that kind of music and rhythm. What are you thinking and feeling when you do it? All the instruments work well together, too.

[hatemail]

woah, both those songs are great!!really groovy, don't know what you mean about the feel not being there!!

keep it up, really hope to hear some more of your stuff!

[Amelczer]

What am i thinking and feeling?, it's hard to say, i guess you have to go out to clubs and listen and dance to the music and have a great time, and then try to recreate that feeling while youre playing.

[Albundy]

Nice, love it, love your band, it's the most innovative music i've heard from latin america in a long time!

[radiofriendlyunitshifter]

awesome stuff! i'm still listening to the first track, but i'm sure the second posted won't

disappoint. very cool.

[radiofriendlyunitshifter]

and it didn't. nice stuff amelczer

[Amelczer]

How do i post this as quicktime?

[Drummer Karl]

How do i post this as quicktime?

Mhhh, the only thing is that you can convert it to a .mov file, than it should be quicktime...

Karl

[dizkneelande]

Im gonna go ahead and agree with everyone else on this tune man you did a great job. very tight throughout with the rest of the band. Very enjoyable to listen to. Keep the track coming!

[Michael Levine]

I love the melodic sound you guys had. Very solid and smooth. Also i loved the open close hihat figures you do, very tasteful! A quick couple questions though:

How many members were in the band?
Could you describe your set? (guessing stage custome advantage? which i also own)

[Guillermo]

Musically, one of the absolute best things I've heard posted here from anyone!...

[Drummer Karl]

Yep...it is a great tune and I love it!!!
and this thread is still going on!!! Very cool!

Karl

[Amelczer]

Here's another tune from the same demo, this is a traditional rhythm from Venezuela called joropo, but we changed it up and tried to give it our style

[dizkneelande]

At first I didnt realize I still had my elvin jones playlist goin in the background so I very impressed! then I realised my folly and started the song over lol. I LOVE IT!

[LinearDrummer]

It's just singles between the hat and a 10" snare, right hand on hat and left on snare

Yeah its simple but I think it sounds so cool cause you have good technique and a nice feathery touch....

That was really nice and tastey...very JoJo-ish type of groove...

[LexHitReset]

that is tight, next jojo mayer is comin.

for real, mad respect.

the band all together is super tight, reminds of gruvis malt/one drop at times. but much more jungle.

keep it up

[Ashton Drum's]

Nice playing love the horns in there to

[Michael Levine]

Hey man, i loved your music soo much. I have a quick question though:


Is there anyway you could put this stuff on myspace or purevolume. Just wondering.

[Amelczer]

Hmmm... lets see, the set i used was a set i bough from my drum teacher that he had put together himself from various other sets he had had, the set is:
18 Tama rockstar dx kick
14 Pearl export floor tom
12 Pearl session series tom
10 Pear world series tom
13 Tama (i've been told it's an artstar, but i really dont know since it didnt say anything but tama on it) Snare
10 yamaha stage custom snare
All toms are fitted with R.I.M.S. and suspended from the stands.

As for cymbals:
22 Paiste Alpha ride
18 Avedis Zildjian crash
14 Bosphorus china
14 Avedis Zildjian mastersound hats
8 avedis splash

And that yellow Mapex pedal... hahahahahahaha.

[ColtenK]

Very relaxing songs. Love them! Great work! Sad that the band isn't together still. You guys were very tight and it was just good!

[katman]

Damn, I can't listen to any stuff hosted on Putfile - don't know if it's a Mac thing, or perhaps the Safari browser - but the track just won't download. And I'd really like to hear your music. Is there any other way? Does your band have a site?

[Amelczer]

We're in the process of opening a myspace acct, i'll keep you posted

[Amelczer]

Well, the myspace is finally up

I absolutely love the clip. It's my favorite song clip in "YOUR PLACE." You should make it where we can add the song on our MySpace pages.

[Carter.it]

Great song!! great band...!! i'm studyong some jungle grooving in the last few months, good job dude!!!
Keep playing!!

[Amelczer]

well, i just moved to spain, and had to sell my drums so i've been focusing on my hands, so i bought me a realfeel pad and Johnny Rabb's 30 days to better hands video, and well i'm 2 weeks into it and it really works, especially my left hand, i feel now i have tons of control and even some of those esoteric moeller whip moves are starting to come together. Maybe i'll record a video of myself playing the pad so you guys can critique my technique, but i dunno if you'd be interested so... Should i record and post that?

[katman]

Just been to your Myspace site. Is "borrador" a Venezualen movie that you did the music for? I don't understand any Spanish, but the trailer seems pretty cool. Your music rocks too.

[Amelczer]

Yeah, Borrador is a Venezuelan film in which we have 3 songs on the soundtrack, not bad considering we only have 4 recorded songs!, one of them ended up being the track which acompanied the trailer as you can see in the video in our myspace, it's a good movie although i doubt youll never get to see it cause venezuelan movies dont get around much, not even in Venezuela!.
