Zbyněk Raušer - Sweet little something-remix (drum cover)

Zbynek Rauser

When I started to play drums I wanted to be the best, the fastest and

the most famous drummer with the most perfect style and technique. Over

time I realized that that isn't what it's all about and that the music

itself is the most important thing. It's about the purpose of the drums

in the music and how they can help to achieve the greatest effect. I was

never interested in (and never had the aptitude anyway) playing flashy

solos and proving that I can play something I heard from Dave Weckl or

Dennis Chambers. I have always enjoyed doing music comprehensively.

It's not a coincidence that I had chosen Rido's remix of "Sweet Little

Something". First, I've spent several years playing with the band which

originally performed the song, and secondly, I think that Rido's remix

is absolutely brilliant. Another thing is, I really enjoy the

combination of acoustic and electric drums. Using samples, samplers,

sequencers, synths and so on. I think that even in the 21st century,

lots of drummers are very conservative and still rely solely on the

"flawless" acoustic sound, assuming you can't go wrong with that. I

think there isn't enough progress in terms of sound (and not only the

sound). The comparison with guitars comes to mind - a guitar sure sounds

nice, but if you add some pick-ups and stomp boxes, it's suddenly a

whole new dimension. You get a totally new feeling from the playing and

a fresh inspiration, too. Why can't we do the same with drums? It

happens somehow, but too slowly for my taste. Luckily, there are people

like Michael Schack and others :)

In this video, I used Roland Octapad SPD-30 as a very sophisticated

real-time sequencer, which is connected via MIDI to 2box sound module

and Roland SP-404 sampler (used also as FX unit). Kick and snare are

triggered by the classic ddrum triggers. Triggered drums are nothing

new, but the important things are the sounds assigned to them, how the

samples are edited and processed and what music you can make with all

that. The last hardware used is Novation's Bass Station II analog

monosynth.

I hope you'll like it.

Ridův remix "Sweet Little Something" jsem si nevybral náhodou. Zaprvé

jsem několik let účinkoval s kapelou, která tuhle píseň původně hrála, a

zadruhé si myslím, že remix od Rida je naprosto geniální. Další věc je,

že mě baví spojovat akustické bicí s elektrickými. Samply, samplery,

sekvencery, syntezátory a tak. Myslím, že na to, že je 21. století, je

spousta bubeníků pořád velice konzervativních a sází na "vynikající"

akustický zvuk, kterým se nic nepokazí. Mám pocit, že obecně nenastává

zvukový progres (a nejenom zvukový). Napadá mě přirovnání ke kytaře -

ona sama taky pěkně akusticky hraje, ale když na ni dáte snímač a

připojíte nějaké krabičky, tak najednou dostává úplně nový rozměr. Máte

nový pocit ze hry a novou inspiraci. Proč to samé neuděláme i s bicíma?

Ono se to trochu děje, ale na můj vkus moc pomalu. Naštěstí jsou tu lidé

jako Michael Schack a jiní :)

Ve videu jsem použil Roland Octapad SPD-30 jako velice sofistikovaný

real-timový sequencer, který je pomocí MIDI připojený ke zvukovému

modulu 2box a sampleru Roland SP-404 (který je také použit jako efektová

jednotka). Na kick a snare jsem dal klasické ddrum triggery. Triggrované

bicí nejsou nic nového, ale jde spíš o to, jaké zvuky jim přiřadíš, jak

si připravíš samply a jakou hudbu s tím vším můžeš dělat. Poslední

použitý hardware je analogový syntezátor Novation Bass Station II.

Doufám, že se bude líbit.
