  • Meshuggah live at Tampere, Finland, 19th of April, 2013. I was standing near the mixingtable and noticed this guy "playing" the lights in the rhythm of the music. I just watched this guy maybe one quarter of the show. Took this video during the last song. The lights he made were amazing, fitted perfectly to the music and made half of the atmosphere.

      @@sund3r actually he was using both of his fingers on different parts of the lights to give the effect of following the bass. Basically something along the lines of left index playing 16ths, and when the right index depresses the button, keep the lights at whatever state they’re at when the button is pressed (ie, turn off the left hand button).
      Something to that effect at least

    • @hazardeur
      @hazardeur 3 роки тому

      @Någon Hemlig as a drummer myself, i can just relate to that all too well. In the end i think it's best to just have a band that doesn't need a click because they can stay in time sufficiently. this gives you way more groove and also you can influence your actual music much better, make the slow parts a bit more slow, the fast ones a bit more hectic, etc.
      That being sad, it's very difficult to stay in time, especially with all that polyrhythm sutff going on so I understand why most bands play to a click nowadays. Though I wouldn't dare to sync some lights, tracks or anything else for that matter to the click. As you said, it WILL go to shit at some point. Even for seasoned musicians, much less the non seasoned ones haha

      @@hazardeur I’m a drummer too. I play with clicks that usually go to a track. For the most part it works out. What we do is, either me (drummer) or another band member controls the track and/or click on stage. If we get off or are having technical difficulties with it, we just shut it off and keep going without it. Rarely do we get off anymore, now that we are all pretty comfortable with it. You learn to groove with it. At first it felt very rigid and unnatural, but once you stop fighting with it and just jam along with the click it becomes second nature. I think like it or not, if you want to be a professional musician these days you better be able and willing to play with a click live. Just my .02

    • @hazardeur
      @hazardeur 3 роки тому

      @@184ktmdm playing to a click wouldn't be much of a problem to me since I am playing 2/3 of my time on my ekit, recoding stuff for myself, always to a click. so it should already be 2nd nature for me. However, even though you can groove with it, you will never be able to do the things i mentioned (play the slow parts a tad more slower, fast parts bit faster, rush a fill into a fast part to give it more tension etc in the same way that I will never be able to play as exact as with a click. It's all trade offs in the end, I just think that I wouldn't want to lose that "looseness" and replace it with more time security (but also more rigidness). It's personal preference of what your sound should be in the end I guess

    • @184ktmdm
      @184ktmdm 3 роки тому

      @@hazardeur yeah I hear you, there are restrictions with clicks and tracks for sure. I'm honestly fine with minor tempo fluctuations. Within reason obviously. Some cats I play with will have a heart attack, and give me dirty looks if I so much as slow down 1bpm so for then it's easier to just use a click. Keeps them happy. I'm only human, not a metronome. I honestly try my best. However, there are some cool apps that let you change the songs on the fly while playing live. It's pretty cool. We use one called Prime. Change tempos, change keys, loop a section, remove a part of the track etc. All mid set, while on stage! You are right though, it's preference. At the end of the day if you are good with a click, and good without one, then you should be alright.
