Frozen Beamichi ni san5rank/position
A Vocaloid track that combines a driving feel with a distinctive sense of weightlessness.
The guitar doesn’t have any particularly difficult phrases, including the interlude, but be sure to consciously cut the sound cleanly in the accent sections.
The bass gets busier in the chorus, so be careful not to fall behind the rhythm.
The drums are in straight eighths throughout, but a kick pattern that matches the guitar and bass phrases appears in the B section, so you’ll need to focus on keeping time.
Overall it’s simple and recommended for beginner bands, but if you don’t lock in as an ensemble, it can sound disjointed.
Practice while listening to the other parts as well.
