Hello,

 

I am not a drummer by trade, plastic or otherwise. So I am authoring a song that transitions from normal drums into conga drums. The tab I am using lists the following drum types for the conga section:

 

Mute Hi Conga

Open Hi Conga

Low Conga

Short Guiro

Long Guiro

 

Does anyone have any advice on how I should chart these? Like what colors I should assign them to?

 

Thanks.

Without knowing what song you’re doing, I’d probably use:

 

Open Hi Conga | Yellow Tom

Mute Hi Conga | Blue Tom

Low Conga | Green Tom

Short Guiro | Yellow Cymbal

Long Guiro | Blue Cymbal

The song is conga from gloria estafan?, would be amazing choice!

i´m begginer in chart customs, my opinion is chart only 2 gems on middle, left and right hand.

great question, i need to discover this too.

thanks Dash, you are a awesome drum charter, i will use this configuration on my future projects, this is pro drum?

Thanks Dash. I will see if that will work.

You can always slack off and send me the files… ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif” />

I really, really do appreciate that offer Dash. I often find myself charting a song and thinking, “man, this song would be perfect if only someone who was a genius at drums and vocals like Dash would take over those parts.”

 

But then I figure I’m asking too much and my followers will understand if I just put my usual disclaimer of my drums and vocals being written by an orangutan ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

Good occasion to test our new Slack HQs. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif”>

 

By the way, NOBODY can tell how to author percussions without listening to the song. Not that Dash’s tip is wrong, it’s simply as good as it can be without listening to the song. If you don’t want to tell the public, message him on Slack directly. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif”>
