Anyone want to try playing Stardust music?

Post by xn--49s90ybg2k »

Any singers/guitarers/drummers/pianoers want to try playing Stardust music?

This is the idea--

Someone picks a song. I will try to play the drum part. We record ourselves playing our individual instruments and post here. I will mix them all up and post the result.

I am beginner drummer (had 12 lessons--not 12 years of lessons--12 lessons--then COVID closed the school), so I can't play fast or complicated stuff. But I can simplify the drums until I can play it. Though for difficult songs (i.e. almost all Stardust songs) the simplification won't resemble the original.

Of the sheet music I have, I think I can learn 走れ! by MMC. I can play ムーンライト伝説 (not a Stardust song, but just about every idol group has covered it) at about 130BPM--it should be 141BPM, but that's too fast for me. All the other songs I've seen would require major simplification. Though I am willing to try any song.

It'll likely sound terrible. But who cares?

That sounds like a swell idea :-)

Given that this forum isn't frequented that heavily...
have you tired suggesting this at the discord as well?
There may be more people there

Since at least one person expressed at least some interest (thanks matthecat!), I recorded ムーンライト伝説.

Here is sheet music for ムーンライト伝説. bass.pdf drums.pdf guitar.pdf piano.pdf vocals.pdf It is my transcription for the drums. Other parts are ripped off the internet.

I recorded drum part. I can't play at 141 BPM. So I played it at 115 BPM and sped it up to 141 BPM. 2021-03-17 Moonlight Densetsu drums.mp3. Wow!--that sounds crappy. Need to practice more.

Here is drums mixed with Moon Lips cover. 2021-03-17 mixed.mp3.

Please record your instrument and post here!

Set your metronome to a comfortable tempo. Play your part and post it here. Tell me the tempo, so I can adjust it so everything lines up. Even if you don't play bass/drums/guitar/piano or sing, please participate anyway! Harmonica, beat box, accordion--anything is welcome, as long as you are not just swearing into a tuba or something like that.

Or play whatever song you like--I will try to add drums if I can. Just play to metronome, so we can make everything line up.
