Need help with drums

Post by Bloodsoaked »

THis is a short 21 second begining to a song I am in the process of writing and I am looking for ideas as to what drums (if any) should go with the begining of this song. The kick and ride you hear in this sample were just a click track for myslef.

I am basicly looking for input/help for the drums for the fast part as I am totally stumped.

What I hear in my mind is about 10 differently toned cymbal "tings" following the guitar riff.

Then full cymbal/kick hits at the end.

the bell of many cymbals. Not just the ride.
Do this by changing the rate, pan and level of the ride in each hit. It will sound like a bunch of cymbals being hit lightly on the bell.
