How To Write a Really Annoying 'Boom, Boom, Boom' Sub-Woofer Piece?

Hmm.. can't see the other posts when commenting. Shame.

I still haven't done this thing. Probably easy enough to write a drum line going boom, boom, boom. Don't remember what the hassle was when I tried it.

But what I thought I might get was some techie advice on perhaps the best way to write such a thing - maybe it'd be better with a chord? From a wind instrument? Along with the drum. And maybe more than one drum? And drum beats at a specified note (I saw that option there)?

The whole thing is a question of frequency, really. It is the sub-woofer frequencies and the cheap powerful sub-woofer speakers kids seem to be able to get these days that cause the trouble. The ground actually trembles.

Low frequency sound travels so well they use it to communicate with submarines.

I was once a night-clubbing raver and I well remember the bass shaking the floor and feeling it in the soles of my feet right up to the stomach.

Very primitive. Very strong. Very atavistic.

I understand why they like it. The more repressed the child the more inclined to like it as a compensatory mechanism. I sympathise. But not the extent of wanting to experience it here.

Let them go to a club or something.

Headphones can give a wonderfully realistic portrayal of music. Sufficient to satisfy aficionados everywhere. But they can't tremble your tummy and excite those primitive aspects like powerful low frequency beats can. That's why they won't switch to phones.

They want the bang, bang, bang. They literally want to feel it. Well okay. But not here. It is not appropriate here. I often quote my firearms. I'd like to play with them maybe (not really) but is a suburban street the place to do it? No.

Oh yes, fully aware. Been approached a number of times. Real phoney ass-licking smarmy creep assures you he fully understands and will immediately fix the problem, etc., etc...

Bagpipes I quite like actually. The phrase 'skirl of the pipes' has significance to me. They are elemental, too, just like these subwoofer beats. They have their venue. Best on the mountains of Scotland, amongst the heather, amidst the wind blowing the sound hither and yon is where they come into their own.

Or perhaps the field of battle.

Movement, I'd hazard, is the essence of the pipes. March with them or hear them coming, pass and fade in the distance. Stirring stuff I think.

Many good pipe bands in Australia I think. I've heard a few.

Yep. But pipes, symphonies, opera, they won't have the penetrating power of the low frequency stuff. They just won't hear them enough to care unless it's deafening to all around.

What's really needed is a directional low frequency speaker array. I'm not likely to get that though.

Lovely prog this Musescore, isn't it? Back to the pleasant world of music.... :)
