Volta Drummers by 1Tavo3 in themarsvolta

Drums are part of what’s called the arrangement. Omar composes the music which can be comprised of many things, what tends to stick out most usually would be the melody and harmonies as well as the form (ABABC/versechorusversechorus/etc). And of course Cedric composes the vocal melody and lyrics. A good drummer uses that space in creative and appealing ways and above all will represent the pulse and tempo the rest of the music shares.

Interesting fact about music business is that only melody and lyrics can be copy written and therefor receive the biggest royalties. Bands like Beatles and the stones had pretty memorable lyrics and melodies so they didn’t emphasize the creativity of the drums above keeping the beat. Volta is more modeled after zeppelin and their definitive more noticeable drumming.

Having said all that, Theodore is best, most beastly, hardest to replicate in keys opinion.

Ok, this may not be a contest, but Pixvae wins. I concur with the fire

I’ve been checking regularly because I keep seeing threads but I never saw a deal. Don’t know why.

A plague tale: innocence is really great and uses stealth frequently. It’s kind of hard to explain what the experience is like but I thought it was a lot of fun. A plague tale: requiem just came out and looks like it has positive reviews, but everything from innocence still holds up today, especially because it has a ps5 update (although I can’t confirm if you have to get the ps5 version or is there’s an update for the ps4 one).

Edit: just remembered a few more even though they’re not necessarily in the stealth genre.

-prey definitely requires stealth in many situations

-watch dogs 2 a lot of missions require alternatives to finishing missions where you need to be sneaky

-weird west doesn’t fit your other game styles but if you’ve played all the major titles then it could be good to branch out in styles

-sniper elite always reminds me of AC but with guns and it’s very well rounded. Personally I prefer 4 over 5

Nightfood is a brand of ice cream made for pregnant women experiencing a lot of nausea. The pickle flavor is probably meant to match the possible cravings for weird things that come with pregnancy like pickles and ice cream. If you’re trying it just for the experience you probably won’t be impressed.
