Since I've now decided to reveal what I'm working on or planning to work on, rather than keeping things a secret (but giving hints) up until release like the old C3 days, this is where I'll list my WIPs and ideas.

 

I listen to like, a lot of different shit, and so there's a lot of music that I really want to chart - but charting takes time, and I can only do so much. What I list here is the immediate pack ideas I have bouncing around in my head that I feel like I'll probably do soon. These are subject to change, of course, since I might suddenly decided I really want to chart something, but I'll most likely stick with this. If you'd like to see a list of artists that I may want to chart, or what albums I really like and may want to do songs from...well, I just made those phrases into links, actually, so just click them.

 

edit: Previously I had a list of songs I wanted to do, with asterisks indicating priority. I've now come to terms with the fact that I have wayyyy more things I want to chart than I have time to chart them, so pack sizes have been reduced accordingly to only the songs I really want to chart.

 

Without further ado, my WIPs/plans:

Modest Mouse: Rock Band

• ???

 

 

The "Drums Workshop" is an idea that I started doing some time ago but over time I kinda lost interest in updating it. I might bring it back someday, but consider it "archived" for now.

Drums Workshop

Hi there! This is my drums-only section, where I post drums-only charts of songs, in a similar vein to some others around here who are primarily drum authors.

 

Click here to visit my main thread where I post full band customs.

 

These projects include:

• Tempo map
• Fully charted expert drums
• Hand-edited drum animations
• Drum fills

 

These charts are meant to be an aid or a starting point for authors who would rather save time, or who are not proficient with tempo mapping or drums authoring. They can also be utilized to help polish an existing chart. Before you ask, no, I will not compile these charts and release them as playable songs as-is. These are meant to be a work in progress, a base, not a finished custom.

 

Charting drums is my favorite part of authoring. It's what I'm best at, especially when charting by ear, and I play actual real life drums as well. Thus, it's become fun, like a hobby, just an interesting activity - I'll make a drum chart for a song I like even if it were never going to be in the game. Leading off of that, even if there's already a completely perfect full band chart of a song I like available, I'd still want to make a drum chart just for fun/exercise, despite that it'll never actually get played. Thus, there will be songs posted here that other people have already charted, as long as it's not an official/C3 release. If you would rather I not do that when you're the author of an existing version of the song, send me a PM.

 

Generally, when I release an album-themed pack, I'll release the other songs from that album as drum charts.

 

So yeah, if you want to use one of these charts, make sure you send me a PM to let me know, and perhaps I'll even help out and collaborate with whatever you want to do with it.

 

Keep in mind that I don't want this to just become "Download music 'drum charts' free!", so all the downloads will only contain an RPP - therefore, you'll have to use your own audio. If you're having trouble getting your audio to sync up with the tempo map, I can help with that.

 

Anyway, here's the downloads.

stuff

(the dots represent suggested difficulty tiers)

Led Zeppelin

1973 - Houses of the Holy

Track list

3. Over the Hills and Far Away •••◦◦

4. The Crunge ••••◦
5. Dancing Days ••◦◦◦
6. D'yer Mak'er •••◦◦
8. The Ocean ••••◦

I held off on starting this thread until now because I believe all of the songs from Houses of the Holy had been released with at least drums in Sideshow's thread by Oscarj08 or narutostarwars123456. So, starting this when I released my 3-pack from that album would have been pretty redundant. Either way, here they are if you're interested despite more complete versions already existing.

 

Muse

2001 - Origin of Symmetry

Track list

7. Micro Cuts ••◦◦◦
8. Screenager •◦◦◦◦
9. Darkshines •••◦◦
10. Feeling Good ••••◦
11. Megalomania •◦◦◦◦
12. Futurism (Bonus) •••◦◦

Interesting how it's just the entire second half of the album that hasn't had anything done yet. If anyone wants to finish Darkshines, I'd be totally down to work with you on that.

 

Theme Packs

Burnout 3 Soundtrack

Track list

1. No Motiv - Independence Day •••◦◦

2. Amber Pacific - Always You •••••

4. Funeral for a Friend - Rookie of the Year ••••◦

9. Autopilot Off - Make a Sound ••••◦

12. Pennywise - Rise Up •••••

14. The F-Ups - Lazy Generation •••◦◦

15. The Lot Six - Autobrats ••••◦

16. Sahara Hotnights - Hot Night Crash •••◦◦

17. Eighteen Visions - I Let Go ••••◦

19. From First to Last - Populace in Two •••••

20. Sugarcult - Memory •••◦◦

21. Finger Eleven - Stay in Shadow •••◦◦

23. Local H - Everyone Alive •••◦◦

24. Maxeen - Please ••••◦

25. New Found Glory - At Least I'm Known for Something ••••◦

27. Go Betty Go - C'mon •••◦◦

28. Moments in Grace - Broken Promises •••◦◦

29. Midtown - Give It Up ••••◦

30. 1208 - Fall Apart •••••

32. Rise Against - Paper Wings •••••

33. The Bouncing Souls - Sing Along Forever •••◦◦

34. The Matches - Audio Blood •••◦◦

35. Silent Drive - 4/16 •••••

36. The Explosion - Here I Am •••◦◦

37. The D4 - Come On! ••••◦

38. The Mooney Suzuki - Shake That Bush Again •••••

39. Mudmen - Animal ••••◦

42. Atreyu - Right Side of the Bed •••••

43. Letter Kills - Radio Up •••◦◦

(notes: "C'mon C'mon," "I Wanna Be Sedated," "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)," and "Decent Days and Nights" are already official HMX songs. "Heart Full of Black" was omitted because the mixing made it very difficult to chart drums (muddy bass) and I didn't like the song that much anyway.

I'll totally help out if anyone wants to finish "Make a Sound," "Populace in Two," "Rookie of the Year," "Audio Blood," "Independence Day," "Please," "Paper Wings," "4/16," or "Hot Night Crash."

 

[The_Guitar_Hero_King]

Someone i think is doing drums of all muse songs.

 

Edit

 

Yeah, so far he got Absolution, Black Holes And Revelations, Drones, Origin Of Symmetry and The 2nd Law done.

[Septekka]

Updated this thread to include my WIPs and plans.

 

Also added the rest of the Burnout 3 soundtrack to the drums workshop.

[Septekka]

Just updated this to include the RH:RB packs, and now it also goes way further into the futureeee.

[Septekka]

updated OP to add a few more ideas for future packs (from "Indie Epics" onward), because i love to plan for things that probably won't actually be done until like 2021

[Derek™]

Goddammit, I've never been more excited over one WIP list. Do you plan on charting the BOC synths to guitar or keys? And Godspeed, holy shit. And Slowdive! And finally some love for Isis. And more Radiohead. Keeping an eye on this thread and am highly looking forward to whatever you may be working on, going forward.

[Derek™]

Forgot to mention the hype for more De-Loused charts. Hellelujah. I really hope some of these ideas see fruition.

[Septekka]

Do you plan on charting the BOC synths to guitar or keys?

 

I'll most likely split the different synth parts between both of them, though with keys taking priority.

 

I really hope some of these ideas see fruition.

 

As long as I'm still authoring, I'll keep chipping away at this list, and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. It's just a matter of when I'll get to them.

[Derek™]

I don't know if you'd be interested in them, but I recall seeing some Isis charts over on FOF.  I'm fairly sure In Fiction was one of them, and I know some others had drums and bass included with guitar.  They may or may not be a pain in the ass to straight-up convert, but at the very least they could lay some groundwork?  Just food for thought.  I'd been trying to rally a conversion for them for some time now.

[Lowlander2]

About to set up my own WIP thread, pop into every recent one to make sure I'm not stepping on toes, and I see you plan to do Dopesmoker? I'll be surprised if that doesn't break the game, but at least vox will be an easy chart. C on every note except for like two.

[Septekka]

Updated OP with a couple changes to planned packs, and a couple new additions - most importantly a song that, due to recent developments, I'm dropping everything else I'm doing to chart right now.

 

Figured a couple months is long enough to wait to respond to these...

To be honest, I'd rather start from scratch in most cases since I just find charting as part of the fun, especially when authoring guitar and drums which are the most commonly already-done instruments. A lot of FOF charts tend to have dodgy tempo maps, anyway.

Yeah, I really want to try and push the game's limits, song length-wise. The thing that I think makes this kind of a wildcard is, unlike the past Cassandra Gemini and the new record-setter, Fall of an Empire, it's not a very dense and technical song, but instead a slow, sludgy stoner metal song, meaning there's less notes and therefore a smaller MIDI.

[kkarpiu]

Awesome picks from Devin. Can't wait !

[Samyaza]

Looking forward to Kill v. Maim, How to Disappear Completely, Roygbiv, Alison, Machine Gun, and especially Dopesmoker. (Hopefully you won't have to pull a Jerusalem and split it up into multiple parts...)

[Mugen]

Can't wait, would always love some more Radiohead and Animal Collective.

[Envirobear2000]

Hey, dunno if you'd be interested but I actually have a Frank Zappa - Willie the Pimp chart from my FoF days that might make a decent jumping off point. It's tempo-mapped, and with a guitar chart and like, 25% of a drum chart. And pitched vocals too, but they are probably pretty bad (grid snapped to 32nds or something, and the pitches probably aren't great). 

Edited by Envirobear2000, September 1, 2017 - 04:20 PM.

[missingn042128]

If you are interested, I have a guitar chart of Starless that I've completed to around 10 min and 50 sec. 

 

Also, I would be willing to do G/B/K on just about any of the songs you have planned on that list (except Grimes. I don't do meme music).

You can send it if you'd like! I'm kind of a control freak with charting so I might change a lot of it, but it surely wouldn't hurt.

 

If you are interested, I have a guitar chart of Starless that I've completed to around 10 min and 50 sec. 

 

I appreciate the offer, though I later realized that nsw1-6 actually already had Starless mostly done and I just haven't taken it off the list yet lol.

 

Also, I would be willing to do G/B/K on just about any of the songs you have planned on that list (except Grimes. I don't do meme music).

 

Grimes isn't a meme, Grimesposters are a meme. Anyway if I'll let you know if I want to take you up on the G/B/K offer

[yaniv297]

Really excited for your work! Mainly Radiohead, the Sufjan track and Souvlaki. Going to be awesome.

[Doxophobia]

That's a... pretty amazing list of planned customs. I was originally planning on doing Heaven and Weak, but it's good to know someone's already planning to do the full album. I oughta call dibs on Gleam in Ranks instead haha

Also, would totally be down for more customs from Leaves Turn Inside You as well.

[kueller]

Ooh that Sufjan Stevens 3-song flow in "planned" looks really good. I can't wait to see that!
