Burying A Cymbal For 6 Months
Oops I did it again. Another beloved but flawed cymbal of mine is going underground. I'm really worried this video will do well and then I have to make a RUclips career out of burying instruments for the next 10 years but anyway, watch this video 5 times and subscribe, I am 314 subscribers away from reaching the monetization milestone. Thank you!
I make very unlikeable music that you can find on Spotify, Apple Music, and even on RUclips under the name Winter Triangle.

For Beginners: How to Build a Beat on the Teenage Engineering EP 133 KO II
Просмотров 9103 месяца назад
Did you just get a KO II and don't know where to start? This video is for you! I make a beat from scratch in this video to help guide you. Start by putting a sound or two into group A..think of that as your intro. You can always go back and flesh this section out so don't feel like you need to do too much. Create a new scene by hitting SHIFT and MAIN. This creates a copy of scene one (and you c...

    In the early 2000’s I purchased an expensive bronze Meinl ride cymbal brand new, which was advertised as being buried for 3 years.

To be fair, it was by far my nicest sounding cymbal.

I purchased it new from a drum store who were an official Meinl stockist and I remember a little tag explaining the advantages of burying it. It’s crazy, because googling it now would almost suggest I’m lying, and as though it’s simply some crazy wives tale, but it was marketed by Meinl themselves, and that was the first time I ever heard of bronze cymbals being buried.

      I like this view on the KOII. I don’t disagree but since I’ve put some longer samples into the KOII I lost 80% of the kick drums and 40% of the snares. I get it, but I wish I could use it as a sample library like a little bit more.
