Very cool & quirky percussion intro on this poppy/chippy "Milk Bar" arrangement of Majora's Mark, by Rexy (Beverley Wooff) off Sunrise & Moonfall:
After the playfully cool, clockwork-style percussive intro, things dig into a pop/rock+chip groove, with sugary synths and plenty of momentum. I'd like to see Rexy experiment with 9-bit chip/electronic drums at some point; she's got a good hold on marrying a more acoustic rock kit vibe with with synthpop elements, and I think swapping out the drums to something more synthetic could offer a nice changeup & new direction for tracks like this. That being said, it's also groovy as-is, with a thick kick that you can feel & a crispy, tight snare... a clean funk kit sound, but tackling more of a swift pop arrangement. Cheery, infectious, and as Bev writes, centered around a strong, defined melody. Emunator evaluated:
Superior Drummer 3, Addictive Drums 2, BFD3 et al. are all super-useful tools for laying down drum parts & sprinkling in fills/breaks, and they all sound great, but you can also use their MIDI patterns on other VSTs & kits, which can yield more varied results. Something to keep in mind for taking arrangements like this in a more electronic direction, that could also be cool. I love the positive vibes & energy emanating from this mix, and I think as Wes writes that Bev's done a superb job extending & elaborating on the "Milk Bar" theme & giving it a sweeter flavor profile (Moloko Plus?) in the process!
