Heres the new version, still didn’t mess with tempo map because It’s gonna be trash anyway cuz I suck at it, when I get better at tempo mapping ill fix in the future (that’s if Kloporte doesn’t upload his version)
Welcome! The song has well defined drum sounds so good work on picking something that is easier to discern the notes from.
The biggest issue I see here is your tempo map is off. It starts out behind, and then when you get to the end, it’s almost a full beat behind, which makes your notes miss when aligning them properly to the grid.
Hi! First off, I was about to say My Name Is Mud was already in the database but turns out I still haven’t uploaded it yet. It can be found on my thread but I wanted to fix a few things and add vocals.
Coincidentally, My Name is Mud was also one of my first drum charts ever which was 4 years ago.
Here is a list of what I noticed in your video preview, tempo map issues aside:
– I recommend using yellow for the open hi-hat here. I know having it on blue allows to differentiate it with the part immediately after with the hi-hat closed, but I personally dislike playing a whole part with open hi-hat on blue (except for specific cases like open-handed parts).
It also adds a lot of headaches to determine what is open and what is closed. At 1:31, the hi-hat is slightly more open and sounds identical to the one at 1:41. Yet one is yellow and the other is blue. I would only use blue for open hi-hat when it’s a single, distinct different sound (1:21), and then again there are exceptions to the rule.
– Use different cymbal colors for different crashes when possible. At 1:39, you have two different crashes set to green. They’re really close to each other so it would make more sense to have one on green and the other on blue (or yellow during a part where blue is used for something else; i.e. ride). You don’t have to know precisely what they are (splash, china, crash etc.) but you can tell which is which based on the sound and determine which one should be on blue and which should be on green and try to stick to that.
At 1:40, I would use Gc, Yc, Bc+R. I would keep the hi-hat to yellow in this part, and I would use Bc+R at 1:48, followed by a green cymbal at the start of the new measure.
It’s pretty easy so far but it gets complicated around 4:05 where Herb keeps switching between cymbals.
The rest is pretty straightforward and I didn’t notice anything in particular, except a missing kick at 1:29. Aside from these two main points our charts are pretty similar iirc. I think I messed up the ending, probably because I had the wrong tempo or something, so you did a better job on that.

when I get better at tempo mapping (this is only my first custom so it’s bound to be bad) I’ll be sure to re-work this one if kloporte doesn’t upload his version.

” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_cheeky.001.gif” />never thought I’d get a review from the primus custom god himself, where have you been lol. I love the constructive criticism thank you so much
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />(again literally my first custom so tempo map is really trash) I don’t know what you mean by your thread, just started actually using this forum and I don’t even know how to delete a topic I made or if you even can, I’d LOVE to check it out the more primus songs the better, if you already have your my name is mud I won’t upload mine because you’re more experienced making charts and I will be a meanie head if I swipe the song from you and upload mine instead
I made a personal call to make the open hi-hats blue because herb only hits his ride literally one time in the song and it’s during that weird cymbal fill at 4:10 (also I use rock band charts to play along with my real drum set so I made it blue because it’s easier to know when you’re supposed to be using an open hi-hat)
on 1;31 and 1;41 where they are only slightly more open I got hung up on that same problem so I just decided “screw it!” I’ll just make it blue because it’s kinda open
For the different crashes on green I just chose to put both on green because on a real set a china is (usually) near the crash on the right and the blue was for effect cymbals like the splash and single open hi-hat notes, (Harmonix if you’re reading this, ADD MORE CYMBALS lol) I’ll probably go back and mess around with switching them up
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />The missing kick thing at 1:29, I swear I was going crazy over that because I couldn’t tell if was just the bass guitar or there was a kick there, so I just flipped a coin, I’ll go back and fix that
I know you didn’t mention this but after the “where you goin city boy!” the 3 flams are 8th note triplets but I just made them normal eighth notes so they were a bit off so i went back and changed it already
when I get better at tempo mapping (this is only my first custom so it’s bound to be bad) I’ll be sure to re-work this one if kloporte doesn’t upload his version.
Honestly, you should definitely get tempo mapping down as it’s the whole base for making a solid custom. Hitting notes out of rhythm makes for a very unfun custom. I’d even say, move the notes to where they align with the song (even if they are not on the beat lines) if you’re going to release it as at least you can hit it in time with the actual music instead of having a pure miss or trying to play the custom off tempo.
