So I was going through Songs I wrote

[Manok]

And I noticed that, while these two songs I plan on using on a cd are very diffrent, they start off using the same exact beat. Only problem is I cant think of anything else that works in the second song, should I try to avoid doing this as much as possible or should I not worry about it?

Tons of songs use the same beat, its no big. I would try to find a different intro for one of them, however, and I would space a few songs in between the two similar songs so the similarity isnt so obvious.

[Sunshine]

^Yeah mans.

Of course, the spacing thing doesn't help when somebody's listening to something on random, but still.

Unless the beat is unique (such as Deep Kick - RHCP), don't worry about it. Only drummers listen to drums anyways, so as long as it sounds good, its gold.

[White Riot!]

Crash hard on the first down beat in one

[Bonham#1!]

Yeah kinda like what White Riot said, just see if you can make some small differences. But it doesn't really matter.

[Tillmon]

Listen to AC/DC, I dare you to find more than one drum beat.

[Bonham#1!]

You shook me all night long.


Back in black.

look at every Blink-182 song! most of its the same beat and it all works out fine!
