Tamadrum's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[_-={Adventurer's Spirit}=-_]

Good to hear from you again

I really love the duduk (the flute like instrument) can I ask where you got the sample for it? cause I've looked everywhere and I cant find it.

The music itself is awesome. I can really see a little pixelated guy beating the crap out of the bastard from the vortex. lol.

MaestroRage responds:

The Duduk sample from this song, and pretty much any song of mine which has it, will be from East West RA, until I find something better, which I doubt because those guys have sampled and recorded the duduk with all it's articulations pretty good.

lolz, I know right? I got a chorkle out of how incredibly cliche so many RPG games were back then.

"HE'S COME FROM THE VORTEX!!!"
"... WHAT DO WE DO?!"
"... SEND HIM BACK THAR?"
">:3!!"

and then the evil bastard would come back from his eternal damnation and everybody is stoked to be able to kick more ass, all at level 1 of course because the years of not fighting has made them lazy.

Thanks for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

[My Sweet Shadow (Cover)]

damn.

You beat me to it...
I was gunna cover the whole song in a day or two.
You really nailed the melody and the synth sound, good job.

YingYangCrunk responds:

Thanks, man. I used a guitar tab to get the notes. I've got more of the song made, this was the only part that I was truly happy with.

[And The Heavens Shall Tremble]

Awesome!

This was a really good war/ battle type tune...
Im a huge percussion geek, and you did a really good job with it.
I just wish it was longer, so I could bask in the awesomeness for a little while longer... :)

[When Gods Do Battle (full)]

Wow...

This full version was really cool.

I really like the syncopated percussion and all the different rythmes you have going...
When You repeat the main melody around 1:00 You could do alittle bit of more variation. When its only the horns I really liked the chord change at 1:47...
The next section with the harp was very nice, I liked the melody.
However, I did find when the guitars come in it was a bit jarring. (Took me by suprise.) But then I did find the contrast very cool with the previous sections. Being fans of both heavy music and classical, I enjoyed it very much!

masterjiji responds:

thanks. i think of this song like the duel between powerful enemies. when the harp first comes in, you think the good guy is dead. but he gets back up and creams the other guy when the guitars come in.

just a thought.

[Battle Atomic]

You do need some more beats

Like DisconnectedFromGame said you do need some more beats... I also noticed you use pretty much the same synth in all your songs. Try to change it up with some variety man! But other than that it was pretty good.

UndergroundFantasy responds:

yea this was one of my first songs... thx for the comment though

[Tears For The Beloved (Piano)]

awesome

I really enjoyed this piece. I've been in a funk lately, and I think this has given me some inspiration! However, there was one sour note at 3:06 it feels like that one note needs to be raised or lowered a half-step. But other than that it was amazing.

5/5
10/10
Favorited audio and artist

Zero123Music responds:

Thanks, I wish i could erase that note, but sadly I can't, this was recorded live, oh well - thanks alot man.

[- Awakening -]

hmmmm

I was feeling something along the lines of this:

at the end of this intro have the strings drop out. then have a piano solo, nothing really intricate, but keep the mood going. then have the strings come back in with the piano, keep the motif going, then bring in some drums with some brass to a huge climax. and as the strings fall away... the harp comes back in for the outro...

Its pretty cool right now, you just need to add more.

The image I get from this is as the song starts a camera is moving through the halls of what looks like an abandoned castle... and when the harps come in you see a coffin in an otherwise empty room. And with the drumroll and cymbal crash... the coffin opens.

SinJim responds:

Those are some good ideas there, I'll take them into consideration. I do plan on updating this when I get the time. I've already got the piano part after the strings drop and the rest would really work for the song. I'll let you know when I upload a new version. Thanks for the review, I really appreciate it!

[.X. Epic Memory (Full)]

Awesome

I really enjoyed this... my only words of advice would be to add some reverb to the piano so it isnt so choppy on the intro.

[Fond Memory]

Wow

My friend, not only should you keep the intro... you should do come back to that theme later in the song... perhaps towards the end to bring it all together. however, there are some hiccups in the bass line around 1:12 and 1:14 that stand out pretty bad. That being said, This piece is still pretty great.

BlazingDragon responds:

I'm having a hard time imaging how I might transition back into that intro theme. If Icould get past that, however, I like the idea quite a bit. The bass "hiccups" were intentional, but I really hate them in retrospect. If I can manage to stop being lazy, I'll fix them one of these days. xD

Thanks for the review!

OMG

This song is so good, to get so much mileage out of one bass line and to keep it interesting. that is an accomplishment.

WritersBlock responds:

Thank you.
