Matching the Orchestra with the Drum Loop
After a brief violin run at the end of bar 10, we begin
a new section in bar 11. Here the violas
and cellos start a fast sixteenth
note pattern of their own:
Just like the violins,
they are merely playing notes from a C diminished scale. In this case,
they are just playing the first five notes of that scale.
Notice that the stop and go quality of the viola/cellos
pattern matches the erratic quality of the new drum
loop playing beneath it. It is important to try to match the feel
of the orchestra with the feel of the drum
loop you are currently using.
In bar 18, the violins
resume their sixteenth note movement. This prepares us for the return
of our more hectic drum loop in
bar 19. Here, the first violins
hold a high C note, while the second violins
continue the chore of playing fast sixteenth notes:
