00:04:619 (22) - Not really sure why there is a don here? maybe you wanted to vary the mapping a bit? yet, i feel like it doesn't fit there too well, because there isn't any sounds that sustain that note. Also, you haven't added any notes here 00:01:761 or here 00:07:475
00:12:475 - from here on I see you strictly follow the rhythm of the snares and the kick yet: 00:13:547 (79) - I see you added a kat here and I feel like it's pretty out of place as it doesn't follow any rythm.
keep in mind tho, as someone who likes to follow kicks and snares a lot that's what I'd do. your choice tho.
00:23:905 (146) - pitch is perceived differently from everyone but i feel like this should be a don as the note is pitched lower than 00:24:082 (147)
I feel it makes more sense to have this as a k to contrast with the d being used for kicks at 00:23:547 (142,143) - , no change this time
00:26:404 (160) - this right here as well should be a don for the same reason I mentioned before.
00:29:618 (179) - and this as well.
00:26:404 (158) - I tried out your suggestion but i feel it plays better as dkk since both 00:26:314 (157,158) - of these notes are played on the hi-hat so it carries the same sound there
00:29:618 (177) - wont change this one for the same reason as before
00:26:404 (160) - ctrl+g on these. It follows the kick and the snare very well AND 00:28:547 (172) as the same pitch as 00:28:725 (173)
00:28:368 (169,170) - I ctrl_g'd these notes so that it follows the snare/kick better but I'm not sure what the other note at 00:26:404 (158) - you wanted me to swap with?
Either way, will keep that as the dkk for the same reasons as the previous suggestions on this pattern
00:26:939 (161) - snare would sound better if you'll put don instead of kat here 00:26:761 (160) -
00:29:618 (177,178,179,180,181,182) - on the next verse youve been using some patterns variability for this guitar riff, so how about to change it to kdkkdd ? it will also catch a bass drum on 00:29:797 (178) - since it will be used as don
00:38:547 (227,228) - ctrl+g on these as 00:38:547 (227) has a lower pitch than 00:38:725 (228) .
or you could as well turn 00:38:725 (228) into a kat as the bactery sounds more "kat-y". hope this makes sense.
00:38:904 (228) - to me the tom run played starting here is much deeper in tone than the one played at 00:38:547 (226) - so I'll keep this as a ddddk.
I do understand your suggestion with the note at 00:38:725 (227) - too but the tone descends from the previous note enough that I'd prefer it as a d to match
00:39:975 (237) - this should be a kat cause it's got a higher pitch than the dons.
00:40:689 (241) - and this should be a don: it emphasises the following kat on the stream better.
00:44:439 (269) - this should be a kat, so you're following the pitching of the guitar.
Following the percussion here pretty strictly so while these would be good changes to follow the guitar tones, I'm mostly sticking to k's for snares/hi-hat sounds. (barring the kkddkkddk pattern since that had to be varied somehow and I feel like kkddkkddk followed the drum fill's flow most appropriately)
In regards to changing 00:44:439 (268) - , I don't feel as though switching to mapping guitar here would be appropriate considering I followed the drum spaghetti played at 00:43:309 (259) - so I'd prefer to follow drums here fully
00:43:189 (258,259,260,261) - I don't believe this sound here is worthy of the 1/6 beat, keeping it as dddk 1/3 is better.
00:44:618 (269,270) - might wanna ctrl+g them? think the finisher could represent the hard kick with a don more, and the other note for the uprising sound
00:51:404 (299) - 00:58:011 (373) - you're following only drums, and that's why this stream looks very repetitive. don't you think about following guitar as well
01:00:868 (393,394,395,396) - is this a 1/6 sound? to me it sounds like only 3 drum sounds here but i might be wrong
it is only 3 drum sounds this time aye but leaving the note out at 01:01:538 (400) - makes it feel a bit disjointed with the quad before it and the guitar sound fills it out pretty nicely so I'd like to keep it there for consistencies sake
No change, but open to more discussion if need be!
01:06:404 - i feel like the stream starting from here should be more various. I get you're trying to follow the kicks but there's also a guitar in the bg that needs to be followed i feel like.
01:07:832 (447) - also this is a don. maybe you put a kat by mistake.
Changed up the stream a little so it follows the guitar a wee bit more as suggested since I also did it at 01:08:904 (452) - and 01:15:779 (505) -
Also made that last note a don as suggested :D
01:14:439 (496,497) - for me, making those notes a don could fit better than having them as a kat
01:15:779 (506,507,508,509,510,511,512) - maybe im just bad but patterns seem a bit awkward to me and can be more improvised with the sound, could maybe do something like this; https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/17506585/df54
As it stands it fits with the drums pretty neatly so I'd like to keep it as is. In your example, the note at 507 is a k and in the music this is one of the quiter toms in the run which in my original patterning is where I use d's! It's a nice suggestion, but to me sticking mainly to the drums the way I have fits better.
No change
02:10:868 (885,886,887,888,889,890,891,892) - this pattern is very unfair. you shouldn't begin 1/6 with the color of previous note. i suggest dkdd instead of kkkk 02:10:868 (885,886,887,888) -
I don't feel like any of these are unfair - I personally find them okay to play and I don't see unconventional as unfair. in relation to playability, they all start on main hand anyway so there are no awkward handswitches involved in them, just having to read them.
In regards to 02:27:564 (1010,1011,1012,1013,1014,1015,1016) - 02:23:011 (957,996) - are much harder to play because they start on offhands and this pattern doesn't so it's much more comfortable to play, just a bit harder to read if you're not used to these kinds of patterns
"02:43:368 (1159,1160,1161,1162,1163) - and here. kkddk sounds better" I did actually change this to kkddk though! It does sound better since the hi-hat is being rattled pretty hard
02:12:118 - Just like I mentioned in my SV post (#2876786) this one section is really intense, and I believe that the inclusion of more finisher notes should better represent the song. Probably keep a structure of a finisher each 2/1
If you do this, including a don finisher at 02:19:261 - would be a good idea, and making 02:19:797 (927,928,929) - ddK would fit along.
Ah aye that is very fair!
As a tally, I have added finishers at;
02:12:118 (894) -
02:12:832 (896) -
02:13:547 (897) -
02:14:975 (905) -
02:15:689 (908) -
02:17:832 (919) -
02:18:547 (921) -
02:32:118 (1058,1059,1060,1061,1062,1063,1064,1065,1066,1067,1068,1069,1070,1071,1072,1073,1074,1075,1076,1077,1078,1079,1080,1081,1082,1083,1084,1085,1086) - instead of having it just (kkkd)d the whole time maybe try to improvise by using more patterns. ik you're following the stuff but having that 6 times in a row is... meh

those timing points start from 02:34:261 (1088) - and go from 1x to 0.75x. making this 0.5x without overlapping while making it good seems impossible, maybe you like it :p
02:43:368 (51,52,53,54,55) - could move this pattern to 02:43:189 since I assume you're going for the snare sounds on this one, which starts on the given timestamp
02:43:189 (49,50,51,52,53,54,55) - this is clearly inconsistent with 01:37:475 (651,652,653,654,655,656,657) -
02:54:618 (151,152,153,154,155,156,157) - same here
keep in mind that the pattern in question would take effect after the kd 02:43:011 (47,48) -, which is the same as with 01:37:297 (649,650) -, it's not inconsistent
ooooh shit you're completely correct, I'm a dummy!
It's a bit inconsistent due to me only using a 5-plet instead of the full 9 note 1/8 it could be, but I could definitely be persuaded to make it a full 9-note burst with minimal push 😌
For now though, I've moved it to the suggested spot!
