"Wick"
I have played the musical, The Secret Garden, a few times in my career, and I have to say, the percussion scoring is a bit unconventional. The song "Wick" is no exception. It starts off with guitar, played on the MalletKat. Once into the groove section, the parts calls for "shaker", but what I heard on the original recording sounded more like sleigh bell sixteenth notes. I decided to program the DrumKat, and assigning the sleigh bells, tambourine, and bass drum on the pads. I even layered some of the sounds on top of one another other as well. For example, the bass drum & sleigh bells are layered on one of the pads so the sounds can be played together. Just watch and see. I did the same thing with the tambourine & sleigh bells. By using this approach, I eliminated the need for a conventional bass drum, and then having to try to find a way of playing sixteenth notes on sleigh bells.
Recorded live at the Cairn University Theater, Langhorn, PA.
