In that example, I tried to transition from one idea to the next without changing too many things.
Now I started out on the floor tom with what I would call a time signature of 516, just
feeling five of these.
_ _ _ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1.
_ I wanted to repeat a particular phrase so it was palatable for all of us.
Even for me, when I go back and listen to this again, I would like it to be palatable.
I want to absorb what I did.
If I change too many things, it won't be so easily understood or recognized by the viewer,
by you, or by me.
I transitioned from the floor tom just to the rack tom and stayed here before I went
to the beat, but I didn't change the time signature.
I was still _ feeling that 516.
I tried to stay in the same dynamic range using _ piano to forte, and only once in that
expression do I think I went to triple forte or quadruple.
But when I changed that dynamic, I didn't change the sound sources, I didn't change
the time signature, I didn't change the subdivision, I didn't change the style.
I didn't change much of anything except the dynamic, so that each part of that expression _
had something to do with the previous section.
