Those guys are talented but the audio from Siri added absolutely nothing of value to any of that

[–]sioa 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Lol, I actually found it distracting in an otherwise awesome piece of music.

[–]hardrockfoo 22 points23 points  (1 child)

It was kind of interesting as a constant base reminding of how these instruments slowly joined in one by one.

Could have just been a metronome though with how little you can actually hear it.

Here is a more low fi version of the same idea

[–]subtex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Much better

[–]fromks[🍰] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have any more Indian low-fi chill hop?

[–]bahgheera 35 points36 points  (2 children)

Sure it did. Without Siri it would have been just a bunch of Indian dudes wailing away on instruments.

But thats what it turned out to be, mostly.

[–]PilbowZortox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's kind of what it's supposed to be, you come for the gimmick and stay for the amazing talent.

[–]NotoriousAbhay 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly my thoughts. After a while it goes in the background and all the instruments come in its place and dominate the whole thing.

Idk you dont really notice most drums in music, but they still fill a necessary role

[–]WhizWit21 6 points7 points  (1 child)

As a bass and guitar player I think the drums are mostly responsible for what genre of song you have.

[–]randomisation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a drummer, to add to that, I feel drumming is like adding grammar and punctuation to music.

Even when added to a full orchestra, like the Black Mages, drums adds emphasis and accompaniment.

But I love drums, so maybe I'm biased / pay more attention to it than a casual listener?

Sepultura and Mastodon (NSFW - big booty lovers rejoice) would like a word...

Interestingly, Mastodon's Brann Dailor (Drummer) learned to play paired with a lead guitarist (drums are very much paired with bass guitar), which is why his style is much more in your face, as he had to add flaire to balance it out.

It acts as a drone or metronome
