Thread: Halloween music suggestions..."Dark" drum solo?

Hello!

I am doing a Halloween Hafla show in EARLY October (music is already due I believe...)

I was going to do a regular drum solo...but now I see the music lists and EVERYONE is doing "Halloweenie" music.

I *really* don't feel like doing any "typical" dark music like Marilyn Manson, etc...
And I don't really want it to be slow and creepy.
Everyone else will be Tribal and I want to keep Caberet!

I would just LOVE to find something like a "dark" drum solo...with more deep deep low beats or darker sounding instruments or singing...or any type of more "tranditional" music but with a deeper/darker FEEL...

Any suggestions???

Thanks lovelies!

(: Lia :)

I'd try Solace.

Try "The Devil and the Dancer" cd by Sayed Balaha
Very spooky and great music!

Solace...ohhh, good call...

And that is a CD I already have...just have to find :P

Wow, I just read a review of the CD...sounds AMAZING!

I think I'll get it anyway, I just don't know if it will be "in time"...

Devil and the Dancer has some great tracks -- the title track actually has a moment of glass breaking and a woman screaming!

Vas has a great drum piece on their CD In the Garden of Souls. The track is called Ceromony of Passage. I it is the 4th cut on the CD. Really heavy, deep sounding drums. It is 3:44 long.

Aside from that, I love to use Chicky, and Shakiras Eye like Yours. Evenescense is also good. Halloween is time to have fun.

{{{HUGS}}}

I don't know why it's called this, but Hossam Ramzy has a track on Sabla Tolo II called "Halloween"

Djinn's Double Doum Drum Solo is a good one....starts out real funky and darkish I think.

It is a really great album! Glad I could help and crossing my fingers it arrives in time.

I don't know that I understand the title, but that is a ROCKIN drum solo! I really like it!
I am quite sure that I'll use it in the future...thanks madam!!!

There's a drum solo on Margo Abdo O'Dell's video Tajdeed that has a spooky quality to it. It's from one of Setrak Sarkissian's CD's, but unfortunately I don't know which one. If you know anyone with Setrak CD's you can borrow, maybe you can find out which one it's on. Sorry I can't be more specific!

Yes, I love Hossam Ramzy's Halloween- used it for the group jam at the end of my Halloween show last year- it's great!! There is a very slow drum solo I'm thinking of that's not coming to mind at the moment-- if it doesn't have to be a drum solo then 'Sword Dance' from Light Rain is cool and spooky. I'll be back with others later.

Oh sorry, you said no slow and creepy- forget 'sword dance', then
