Pop 10 3/4 Even 8ths
Straight pop waltz. Sounds best at tempos
between 80-150. Slow bass plays the root
and walks between chords with occasional
large jumps. Sparse drum beat alternates
tight hat and steady brush snare in the
normal intensity section with ride cymbal
and snare in the high intensity section.
Pop 11 3/4 Even 8ths
Pop waltz. Sounds best at tempos between
100-200. Bass plays the root and does short
walks between some transitions with the
occasional large jump. Shuffle snare beat,
moving from hats in the normal intensity
section to cymbals in the high intensity
section.
Pop 12 3/4 Swing 8ths
Swung pop waltz. Sounds best at tempos
between 70-140. Busy bass with little trills
around the root. Shuffle beat with brush
snare and side-stick, smooth ride cymbals
added in the high intensity section.
E-Pop 1 4/4 Even 8ths
Classic old-school electronic style, loosely
based on seminal German records. Bass
arpeggiates the chords with octave jumps.
Sparse synthesized drum beat with kick and
snare. The high intensity section adds hats.
E-Pop 2 4/4 Even 16ths
Modern trap-influenced synthpop, with
booming kicks, rapid-fire snares and
skittering hats. Bass plays long notes on the
roots of chords.
E-Pop 3 4/4 Even 8ths
Shoegaze inspired synthpop with a sampled
kit playing a sparse '80s house beat in the
normal intensity section. The high intensity
section adds propulsive hat pattern and
toms. Grooving bass on the root.
