Dave Dicenso transcription

[Terry B.]

Hey everybody,

I did this transcription of the first section of Dave Dicenso's solo at the MD '06 festival. Dave is one of my favorite players and I wanted to share this with you all.

Hudson Music released the teaser clip which you can see here:

It just so happens that this is basically the part that I transcribed. The clip starts at the last line of page one.

FYI: this is still kind of a rough draft and I am still adding stickings, etc.

Well, here you go!







Enjoy!

Thank you, Terry! So kind of you to post this transcription.. I absolutely love this sort of playing.

[LinearDrummer]

Thanks for that....

I'm a big Dicenso fan...
I think he shinned the most on the MD Fest 06....

[Terry B.]

You are very welcome guys.

I'm glad people are checking it out. I was a little worried at first, because I had no responses and only 20 views for the first couple of days. Not that it really matters. I just hope some of you get something out of this.

If you all dig the transcription let me know. Maybe I'll put some Vinnie up next.



Later,

T

Can you post a PDF of that or maybe even a MIDI File if you have?

That way it would be easy to work with - I do most of my transcribing stuff with Sibelius and it is pretty simple to export MIDI Files from there....

Great stuff man, that must have taken you hours....

[Vixus]

Beautiful transcription! If I may ask, what software did you use?

[chris_drb]

Nice work! You transcribe all of this by ear or do you use something to help you?

[Terry B.]

Hey folks,


Thanks for the compliments. I used Finale for this one. I am still learning Sibelius as we speak. There are just some things I can't figure out how to do with Sibelius. Like having a circled notehead for instance.*I am sure I will get it eventually...


I made a zip file for Sick Rick with a MIDI file and the PDFs

The MIDI sounds like junk though with no dynamics. I hope it helps you in some way!

Have fun and good luck!!

[SickRick]

Hey thanks man - I will use the MIDI to slow it down - you know, import it to Cubase, use a better drumkit sound and edit it a bit. Lets see how much time I have for that.

I love Sibelius, I think the drumset notation is a million years ahead of Finale, but that is just me. A good friend of mine says the exact opposite... I think it is just a matter of personal preference and taste.

For me, Sib is much faster, more accurate and easier to use - but the way your transcrpition looks like, I don't see a need to switch anything.

Keep it up and yeah.... give us some Vinnie....
