Niles fastest songs?

[DeathMeTalAxis!]

No problem. I just was confused about that part, sorry for that. Now so what your saying is George on Kafir is going from triplets to 16ths.. at 280?

[megagoth]

No no, the only triplets I remember from that song are the very first fills at the beginning. The rest is straight notes, you can count "1234" with the metronome.

It feels really natural to me, I am not into notes that much, sorry, I try to explain as good as I can.

Whenever you can count "1234" following the notes and it feels good, its straight notes.
Whenever a "123,123" or "123456" makes more sense to your feeling, its triplets.

This is how I feel it.


EDIT:

Ok, because it's you...

Kafir:

0:00-0:49 - 280BPM
0:50-1:20 - around 200-205 BPM (more like 200 than 205)
1:20-2:28 - 240 BPM
2:28-2:45 - 280 BPM
2:45-4:23 - 200 BPM and some funny figures there, really cool, kind of random but they end ON THE BEAT again, really cool. Also some triplets there with the bassdrum.
4:25-5:07 - 240 BPM
5:07-5:42 - 280 BPM
5:43- end - 200 BPM

Well, that's all I can say, should be right.

Gotta go now, learning for school tomorrow.

Thanks, now I'm off to see if I can attempt to try this.

so the absolute fastest and extreme nile moment is Kafir with 280 bpm?

[Septimus]

Yes it is. Before it it was 'Papyrus' with 271 bpm and before 'Papyrus' it was 'Sebek' with 265 bpm. I think the fastest Nile song before George was 'Churning the Maelstrom', where Tony Laureano also hits 260 bpm, as far as I could tell.

I think Hittite Dung Incantation is up there too.

[Septimus]

'Hittite Dung Incantation' has the fastest parts @ 265 bpm and the double bass at around 3:00 at 240 bpm.

That was something I wanted to ask for a while, how do you play a long changing metronome, I mean just like Deathmetalaxis said, every "change" of tempo in a song usually is in relation to the subdivision, but how do you anticipate the new tempo if the click changes/jumps from, let's say, 200 to 211?

I just guessed it by memory of the song. Well this shows how much I know

I guess you have to programm your clicktrack OR make an MP3 file the way the song goes, then you need to practice the speed-switches until you can feel it.

Then I really think it's not that big of a problem... This is how I imagine it.
