I’m guessing there are no hard and fast rules on this but I’m considering a 60’s pack and these situations seem to come up quite a lot in music from that era. How should these situations be charted on Drums?
1 – Rim hits such as the ones here from 1:30
(pretty funny clip too.) I’m guessing this would be charted as a snare.
2 – Prominent Tamborine while singing is going on but the drummer is busy playing other parts, as was typical of a lot of the 60’s bands. See starting at 1:00
3 – Hi-hats triggered by foot while the two hands are doing something else. See 1:35 of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UWRypqz5-o
These songs are typical of what I am planning but not necessarily my exact choices. If there is any interest in collaboration let me know and I could put this on the collaboration board or PM me.

Snare, yes.

Assuming the drummer is playing his set, as you said, ignore it. There will be instances in which a tambourine it could be charted as Bc along with the R when it’s an accent and it’s worth charting, but it’s realyl a case by case thing.

I’m not hearing that there but rule of thumb for that is that if doesn’t disrupt the flow of the pattern, you can chart it. There are songs in example in which the drummer will open with just foot activated hi hat hits: you can easily chart them and it makes sense. There are songs in which the drummer will play a steady beat on the hi hat with the foot and a triplet beat with his hands (Round and Round has a perfect example of this
@4:08 ca.): in that case you don’t chart the hi hat.

Born to be wild is great, obviously, if you need help let me know.

Good luck!

The instant I replied I thought “what did I get myself into?”.
