Playin’ ThePixelPlant Tinydrum4.0
Chad says to his chum Merrick: Dude, check out Tinydrum4.0, you’ll get a kick eh!
So Merrick twiddles with Tinydrum for a spell and sends these patterns to Chad:
@ 52 bpm : 1-16384-1024-8-8768-4
@ 60 bpm : 16896-256-0-16-32-16448
@ 60 bpm : 4104-129-33024-0-9-1033
@ 60 bpm : 16-40964-1040-4100-1024-4160
@ 40 bpm : 4096-256-16-256-1-1
Chad says: Amazing!!! How do you do it?
Merrick says: Well, let me tell you, son… after years of walkin’ railroad track & junkyards clinkin’ spikes on anything that might make a sound, seeking the sonic patterns in old screen doors banging in the wind, pluckin’–n–tappin’ the inerds of the piano, and riggin’ bendy wooden water skiis with cello strings and pickups—dinkin’ on the dmf tinydrum just comes naturally ;->

Once again, I must just say “amazing.” The first is still my favorite – makes me think of gamelan for some reason.

Very interesting… It is said that the sonic cycles of the gong ageng surround us constantly, thus influential indeed…
Note: The order of patterns above is the precise order in which I created them, and the forst might be my favorite, too.
