Tag Archives: Drums
Gypsies
Upbeat, bluesy rock and roll with bass and powerful drums. Hand-clap and kick drum intro build to a percussive stomp. Blues-rock electric guitar and bass guitar tear it up before a quieter interlude featuring a passionate rockin’ guitar solo. Back to the stomp before an abrupt end. Brash, bold, angry and a bit funny, suitable for an upbeat advert for an exciting, life-affirming product or for film/tv sequences where our character resolves to make a brave and positive change.
You Got the Sun
Laid back country rock track. Funky electric guitar riff with solid bass guitar, steady drums and bright piano chords. Slightly psychedelic, slightly brit-pop but mostly country pop/rock instrumental, Oasis’ long-lost country album. Upbeat and happy-go-lucky like a cheeky cowboy, would suit relaxed adverts for American-style foodstuffs or an easy, breezy TV/Realty TV scene.
Mumuration
Melodic orchestral string and drum build. Choppy orchestral strings play a bright melodic motif. Syncopated beats join, growing in volume and complexity. Break before lively orchestral strings and anticipatory beats kick off again. Builds to a summery climax. Positive, hopeful, happy and sincere, like an orchestral version of Dario G’s ‘Sunchyme’, euphoric and fun, perfect for emotional reality TV moments or excitable documentary TV scenes.
Special Delivery
No nonsense rock ‘n’ roll. Powerful electric guitar intro riff, joined by drums and intense soloing guitar. Straight up drums with noodling electric guitar soloing in bursts. Lighter, more 60s vibe to the next section. Brash, bold and self-assured. Reminiscent of Neil Young’s more rock ‘n’ roll moments, or of a 1970s hyper-masculine rock band or Mick Jagger throwing shapes. A School of Rock-style solid jam for TV or Doc moments where strutting and playing air guitar are required and encouraged.
Wish You Weren’t Here
Sunny funk track. Funky Prince-like funk guitar intro, electric guitar funk riff with melodic bass guitar and consistent drums. Bright, whistling organ joins on top for the chorus. New section with warm 60s keyboard solo over a slower funk. Moved to a smooth, slightly Spanish guitar solo. A quiet guitar break then back to full chorus. Upbeat, joyful and positive, perfect for a TV montage or holiday advert, sunshine and holidays, playful abandon and laughs with friends.
Uku Girl
Happy-go-lucky ukulele track with bell-like synth, electric guitar with hand clap style drums and tambourine. Drums and guitar double up with a fuller sound as the track progresses, adding to the sense of momentum and excitement. A guitar solo breaks out before returning to the original ukulele riff. Warm and fuzzy, happy and carefree, sounds like Maroon 5 on a wholesome holiday in Hawaii. Suitable for an advert for a product or service aiming to improve your family’s wellbeing.
Friends or Nah
A breezy R ‘n’ B instrumental. Upbeat but chill with jazz piano flourishes, wah synth lines, sunny West Coast delay-heavy samples and trap beats. Euphoric in a low key way, this track feels like driving around LA, smoking out the window, sun high in the sky, enjoying life. Perfect for young brands and blissed out TV/Film scenes.
Beatitude
An upbeat, Two Door Cinema Club-style instrumental indie track. Guitar, bass,drums and electronics play a jerky intro followed by a brighter, fuller, more positive, sound for the ‘chorus’ section. A synth break then back to the build and chorus. A dramatic stop before an all-out indie groove kicks in. Jerky and precise but upbeat and hopeful. Perfect for an interlude on a Made In Chelsea-style TV show; on an ad for a fun and young product or service; or as an energetic backdrop to TV sports coverage.
Secret Agent 2
A short burst of swinging jazz with walking bass, horn blasts and shuffling jazz drums. Fizzing with energy and hedonism, this Pink Panther-esque vintage track harks back to the jazz age but those rumbling drums would not be out of place on the Flintstones. Perfect for a short energetic advert or a goofy retro TV sequence.
