Shamefully borrowed lots of the above which are in our set list and a cheeky request please ?

We normally start our acoustic set with “These Boots are made for Walkin”.

Any beat style , drum kit suggestions gratefully received,

Martyn…

84

Here you go. You’ll need to add a tambourine to the standard kit to get the right swing feel. You’ll also need a secondary pedal to do the bass breaks

85

Hey guys
Looks like you are all mostly guitar players. Any accordionists out there playing french italian musette Jazz etc? Would love to hear from you with ideas etc! Thanks.

86

So here’s my thought -

I put MOST of the songs from this thread into a Google Docs spreadsheet. As you’ll see, it still needs some cleaning up. If any of you could collaborate to help me clean it up, I’ll give you rights to edit the sheet. It needs:
[LIST]
[]Beat names need to be consistent
[]There’s some stray text that needs to be deleted
[]Artist names need to be added for many
[]Some of the songs from this thread are still missing
[/LIST]
Once it’s a little bit cleaned up, I plan to make a small site with this sheet as a searchable, sortable data table that we can add to and keep somewhat updated.
SO…
If you would like to help, please send your email address to me at joe@rhythmbone.net - I’ll give you editing rights…

87

So here’s a quick and dirty version of it displayed nicely on a web page for reading only. This will let you download the list as CSV, Excel, or PDF as well:

Still need help cleaning up the list if anyone is up for it…

I’d also be grateful if someone can enter some of the links to custom beats to the list. That way, somebody who wants to do one of the songs can pick between the generic suggestion and the custom beat of it’s available.

Changed it up a bit and made separate lists for the custom beats and kits. Could use help adding them (it’s still just a matter of pasting the info into a GDocs spreadsheet.

Hi Charles,

can you tell me what midi number i assign the Tambourine to for this song, as on the Percussion set it is listed as both 51 and 53 but on the standard set it will not let me put in either of these two numbers ?

Regards,

Martyn

I Can See Clearly Now … Blues 1 4/4 Standard Drums BPM 110

91

I added all of these into the list I am keeping. Some were duplicates of what we already had so I made an executive decision and only kept one. The only one I am going to challenge is “The Joker” at 110. According to the publication information the original is 82. I still have some formatting cleanup to do, but this is great list!

92

It is updated continuously. Last update was 31 Jan 15.

93

Edited the post to reflect that. Thank you for the update.

@namedeplume Do you have an updated PDF file that you would want to replace the current PDF up above?

95

The links never change…

Namedeplume - Would you be interested in collaborating to keep my online list up-to-date on the web site I made:
http://www.beatbuddytools.com/

97

Sure. Contact me at rwanner@pobox.com and we will figure this out. No point keeping two lists up to date.

Rick

The tambourine should go on 54, 51 is already ride cymbal, and 53 is already ride cymbal bell

99

Thanks to Namedeplume’s efforts, the entire up-to-date list is now available at:
http://www.beatbuddytools.com/songs/

This is searchable, sortable, and can be exported as PDF, CSV, Excel. The list is 220 songs and growing.

Working on lists for custom beats and kits - if anyone can assist, please contact me.
