Need help writing songs for first band
Hey fellow drummers,
I am now in my first ever REAL band as ^^^we will be starting originals in two weeks I need your help. This week on Tuesday ^^^we plan to play a few covers of songs from bands such as pantera, disturbed and parkway drive etc.
Our band will be solely based on metal and heavy metal music. But all of that aside I wanted tips on how you guys write your drum parts for songs. The way ^^^we plan to do it is the guitarist works with the vocalist to make riffs and solos and all that. Then the drummer makes a drum part then the singer puts in vocals. What I mean is how do you guys start making up a drum parts. Do you just go through the song and make it up as you go. Try out every possible beat you can come across. Or do you work on say a chorus and try and make it as fast or complex as possible.
This is my first band that I've ever been in doing originals so I really want your inputs since most of you are in bands and have 15 plus years experience
