Hyde - Masquerade

It's finally done! Another awesome drumming song from Hyde. This one has a lot of cymbals. Though not shown here, there's a dual lane & a right lane-only version. I'm hoping this will be the first one I don't feel the need to tweak. It took the better part of 2 days

L'Arc~en~Ciel - Vivid Colors

I decided to do a song from Hyde's other band (lolz). I was surprised that this wasn't in Meow's collection on GDAMania, so I figured I'd go ahead & remedy that. This one is pretty easy to play, but with blazingly fast fills. It will probably be easy to S, but hard to SS. We sucky people need easy songs too.

I used a mishmash of BaCkDrAfT's drumkits for this one. The toms are from his Solid Maple set. the snare is from the White Ash kit, and the bass drum is from the Coated Fat Boy set, and I believe I used the splash from the Solid Maple also. The rest are from my collection. I really tried to pick sounds that matched the song.

Both versions of the PV/Video are included. I used version 2 for the YT video.

Hyde - Hello

I'd been overlooking this song because I didn't have the video/PV in my folder-o-videos. I tried to do all the singles first, and I forgot about this one. It's 99.999 perecent done, but as always, I'll probably go back & revise it once. It's a pretty straight forward rock song, but there are some tricky-looking hi-hats in there.

There's a small skip toward the end of the YouTube video that doesn't exist in the simfile. I tried re-encoding, but it just did it again for some reason.

It's been a while since my last simfile. I started this one a while back, but didn't have time to give it the attention it deserved. When I finally got my computer fixed I decided to finish this one since I wouldn't have to start from scratch. It's coming along really well.

This is probably the most interesting Hyde song I've done yet, from a drumming perspective. Many fills & interesting patterns. It's a really great song...one of the best on the album. Apparently it has some connection to Final Fantasy. I'm really proud of how it came out.

Yay! It's finally done. This song is from Hyde's second album, 666 (don't ask me). It's definitely more straight-ahead rock than anything on Roentgen, so if Shallow Sleep wasn't your thing, you may like this better. It's a song about gardening. Ok, the gardening is probably a metaphor, but it's an interesting one. At least he didn't use personal grooming as a metaphor ("You've grown a bit of a jungle"). Ok....that was just wrong.

The song is almost entirely in English. I've posted the lyrics with the translation in the comment section if you're curious. Watch the video and sing along if you like. "You gotta tear it up and destrooooooy!"

Play the simfile. Post in the comments. Tell me if you like it. I hope you do. :)
