"My main thought instantly was that I think you should balance the syncopation. Maybe a recurring quarter and an eighth rest followed by an eighth and quarter drum strike along with something that pulses on the downbeats or the first downbeat of…"
"This reminds me of a medley I did in high school for Music Theory (I was in independent study). I used Carol of the Bells, Good King Wenceslas, and Greensleeves. I used the Carol of the Bells main idea as the underpinning to make Greensleeves sound…"
