What the fuck

Snare rush is a term often used in electronic music culture to refer to impossibly fast rolls. A snare rush can vary in tempo considerably, from 16th notes to even 2048th notes. At that sort of speed, the effect is a buzzing sound, but with a detectable pitch, so some artists vary the repeat rate, and can even play a tune. One example of this would be the last 18 seconds of Ghetto Body Buddy by Venetian Snares, where the theme from Sesame Street is played using only extremely fast snare rushes. The defining characteristic of a snare rush, as opposed to a roll, is the sheer virtuosity it takes for a physical drummer to play a successful one. As such, almost all snare rushes are computer-generated. Snare rushes are also seldom restricted to the snare drum, and can be used with bass drums, tom-toms and cymbals to intense effect. They are often used as fills, alongside complex programmed breakbeats. Snare rushes are also often run through analog or dsp effects together with variations in volume, such as an filters or pitch shifting. They are probably most common in electronic music, drill 'n bass, breakcore and glitch music.

give us a snare rush rush rush shur?

i am sad as i tried to make two tracks this weekend (one of which would have fallen into this category), but as my FLoops has er, "broken", i'm stuck with Ableton and Renoise, and just couldn't get into them and made about 3/4 of two tracks and about 3 beginnings of other ones and then gave up in frustration as I just couldn't get the sound quality and feel that i wanted.

i'm going to have to BUY Fruity Loops. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

EDIT: am now executing a fiendishly machiavellian plan involving downloading FL Studio v.5 (i did have 6 and it's expired and i can't re-install)......i reckon i'll be able to install v.5 without it saying it's expired as it's not v.6 he he he he he....

I'm not sure whether my dog liked that or what, but she looked rather mystified when I played it

It sucks, but, I didn't really care about it about halfway through. I think I liked the bass patch I made on the modular better than doing the snare rushes.

This is cool, it reminded me of a far better remix than I did.

These samples aren't soulseek ones, they are XP default ones.

I like what you've done with it, quite funny...

How did you get it sounding so smooth?.. I take it you use FL studio?
