Thunderbirds Project - Percussion Sample

This is the main percussive layer for the main section of the Thunderbirds theme.
To do this I started by dusting off my old drumulele!
Then I slowed down the theme and worked out a simple rhythm that could be repeated.
So I tapped it on the drumulele and recorded it into my Tascam.
Then, in Audacity, I selected the 4 best repeats and compressed it to make the peaks even, before speeding it up to 120bpm.
Later I can 'copy and paste' repeat the sample to form a percussive layer.

Here it is! FAB!

Thunderbirds Project - The Score

Thunderbirds Project - The Score.

This started with the school band that I have joined! 'Thunderbirds Are Go' is one of the songs we will be practicing but the first week the music teacher didn't let us take the music home to practice and the second week he forgot my bass music so I had to just "sit and listen" for an hour!

So I thought it would be a good idea to do my own Thunderbirds project at home using my keyboard, guitar, bass, home-coded syntesizer and anything else I can think of.

I could have played the melody from memory but thought that it would be good to have a music score to use as a guide. So I had a look on the Internet but the ones I found didn't seem right so I created my own by listening to the theme tune and creating a score in Musescore.

Here it is!

P.S. This is a long term project so watch this space, FAB!
