#18.20a "Monkey Riches"

This is a more accurate representation of a typical post. In honor of seeing Animal Collective in Atlanta last night (INCREDBILE.), I spent a few minutes drumming today and ended up playing along with a few of the tracks on their latest album, "Centipede Hz" (which has really grown on me, especially after seeing it live).

So, basically the story with this type of Yellow Book post is I'll tell you what I was drumming along to, and provide a quick snapshot of the rhythm / lick / whatever that I happened to feel was "important enough" to write down (in this case, #18.20a). If you're ever having trouble figuring out how to translate the notation, how to fit the excerpt/rhythm to the Track Rec (track recommendation), have any feedback whatsoever, or would like to explore the excerpts further with me, then please leave comments and let me know how I can help.

#18.20a || Track Rec: "Monkey Riches"
*note the invert motion required to complete the 2-beat loop

I'll try to include a Track Rec as often as possible for you to use to drum along with, as well as providing a link to the track (usually a YouTube link) in the post, so that you can keep the lick on the same page that the track plays from.

About the "Yellow Book" Posts || While I'll certainly filter what content from my Yellow Book I end up posting here, in general, I write whatever I feel like writing in there as it comes to me in whatever format makes the most sense at that point in time. Most of the time, I'll leave it up to the viewer to interpret whether to play something at "half time", "normal time", or "double time", and this is generally be heavily implied by the Track Rec (if I think what I wrote is confusing I may try to preemptively explain how to line up excerpt/track, otherwise I'll leave it up to you to comment and ask questions if you have any)
