Crazy how in the span of 3 videos I feel like I've improved more than I have in the last 6 months. Thanks so much for this series, it's helped me a ton already.
Agreed. Really wild. I've been off and on producing hip hop for years and never came across a teacher who broke down building energy so well. Always got stuck in 4 bar drum loops
This is the second video I've seen from Captain Condescender today and I gotta say I love it not only because he obviously knows his shit but because homey talks to me like I'm an idiot and it's all a part of the show. He's got me cracking up and learning hands on at the same time. TWO THUMBS UP!
Love how even if I know info that you’re discussing, I always learn something. You’ve turned me into a monster. Great job! You are the best at keeping the viewer interested out of every other RUclipsr and your music is good! Thank you.
My thought exactly! It's such a subtle thing, but I find that the most effective producers have the keyboard shortcuts and little idiosyncrasies memorized, and with how many features any DAW has, that's saying something!
This is the drum tutorial that I needed to find a while ago. I have paid for tutorial series that don't cover the drums half as well as this series. Absolutely fantastic, and easy to follow too. Masterful piece of educating, respect!
lol Dude I dunno if you're being serious but I actually hate this show. Because I'm already at the mercy of RUclips tutorial rabbit hole hell because I'm trying to figure something out, and something tells me this guy probably has the solution to my problem but I have to tolerate him talking to me like I'm a complete idiot for like, 8 minutes. I don't know how people like this show. It legit frustrates me.
@@neoconnor4395 I love this show and if you can’t tell he’s playing a character in his videos and not being condescending at all, I think you should book an appointment with a mental health professional.
I just spent way more time than i should have getting lost in these videos. Just subscribed but you deserved it from the first one. Insanely entertaining and educational.
I would argue that you can also raise energy merely by moving elements from the weaker beats to the stronger beats. (Maybe that falls under "making an element more active" but by placement, not by quantity.)
I went back and watched you suck at mixing serious because I’m about to try and put some stuff out and god damn I learned a lot. I’ve only had RUclips teachers and you’re in if the real ones
Can we get a series on working with the modes please? Yeah I know, lots of tutorials on this topic already but I'd like to see them from YOU because I think a theme song for Derek and Uncle Joe in Locrian would be neat. Also a tutorial on how to make a vocoder become a class act like in this song ruclips.net/video/BhB6Lb7_kN8/видео.html
In case anyone else is curious, I found a work around by going into Drum Machine Designer > Selecting the open high hat sample > Q-Sampler Main > Slice > and Turning on Gate at the bottom.
you have nice production tricks but I think you should consider that high "energy" is sometimes best achieved by slowing down / half timing the drums and reducing the number of elements. Half timing drums at the catchiest or loudest section is probably the easiest way to achieve a sense of power and energy
could u please do one on modulation like changing the pitch of certain number of drum sounds like hihats, I don't think there's anyone who would explain it better than you :,
Thanks! You make good educational videos 😁I have seen alle three "You Suck at Drums" several times, and I have surely learned a lot. But ... I need to learn how I make a drum session work with an instrumental recording in Ableton Live 11. I play the guitar, and I like to record popular songs which I organise in several tracks for guitar only. For that I sometimes need a drum track to back the whole thing a little up. Let's say I have a melody, where I have an instrumental intro, and after that I need drums for verse, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, and an outro where the drums stops before the song. How do I set that up in Ableton - so that the drum session starts at the right time, it shifts between verse, chorus and outro at the right time and stops at the right time. If you coukd help me with that I would very much appreciate it 👍

This is exactly what I felt
really shows the power of a good teacher

“You can definitely beat Derek to this”
LOL
poor derek, he deserves it :)

the subtle shortcut callouts are a great bonus
I really hope for some jazz drum programming tutorial, that's the one thing that escapes me every time when I write music
Swing
use 1/8th swing and/or triplets
^^^
@Dylan You really don't think there are any free resources online?
Just go tssst tuh duh tsssst tuh duh tsssst til the screeching whale sounds stop 🤷♂️
6:27 with the most elite Ableton tip that I would've never figured out

3:30 YOU CAN JUST DO THAT? My life has changed.
same here bro!!
i do this in a different way, instead of using the sample in one shot mode i just put it in classic. i've never noticed this gate/trigger option.
Same! This made my life a lot easier
@@blearmusic lol so true
Shit + Tab as well :)
I AM TIRED OF THIS GUY TELLING ME WHAT TO DO. I’M GOING BACK TO THE MINES.

I just spent way more time than i should have getting lost in these videos. Just subscribed but you deserved it from the first one. Insanely entertaining and educational.
Thank you so much for this, I'm showing this series to everyone I know. Top quality, 11/10 ❤

Thanks Dexter

14:16 "Try adding chorus, bass, melody..." lol those images 😂
This is exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you for this. I found it very helpful, and most informative.
Thank you for helping me and everyone else! Always great info

I learn best through Derrick abuse, thank you.
He's back, and strong!!
Thank you Derek.
Awesome tutorial, this doubles as a walk through of the daw too lol tell me i suuuuuck more :P
“Lets change up the velocity to get some variation in Derricks abuse”. Dude. Thanks. Youre making me laugh while depressed
I really hope you do a jungle drum vid. even though youve done one before
goat step to your drum beats? very nice tutorial mate
I would argue that you can also raise energy merely by moving elements from the weaker beats to the stronger beats. (Maybe that falls under "making an element more active" but by placement, not by quantity.)
What I like is the whole "let's try this - oh it sucks. Let's not do this and WHY"
actually made cool drums in the span of 3 videos wtf
amazinz... i increase my music thanks to you.... amazing to have you1
lol "noisekick" XD I`m pretty sure Rudmer would appreciate that kick carries his name
I went back and watched you suck at mixing serious because I’m about to try and put some stuff out and god damn I learned a lot. I’ve only had RUclips teachers and you’re in if the real ones
Okey... so check it!! Luv this dude
This has actually helped me a lot

It’s Don José what’s good
Can we get a series on working with the modes please? Yeah I know, lots of tutorials on this topic already but I'd like to see them from YOU because I think a theme song for Derek and Uncle Joe in Locrian would be neat.
Also a tutorial on how to make a vocoder become a class act like in this song ruclips.net/video/BhB6Lb7_kN8/видео.html
"I think a theme song for Derek and Uncle Joe in Locrian would be neat."
I'm sickened but curious.

Oo Kay, so jacket.
This is a great tutorial
The single downvote must be Derek
I'm following along in Logic Pro and struggling to "gate" / "choke" the open high hat. Any help would be great!
In case anyone else is curious, I found a work around by going into Drum Machine Designer > Selecting the open high hat sample > Q-Sampler Main > Slice > and Turning on Gate at the bottom.
Now I’m interested in country trap....
POOR DEREK
Yoooooo you are the best

very helpful, thanks
very helpful!
Wowzers I just created four drum clips at different energy levels
could u please do one on modulation like changing the pitch of certain number of drum sounds like hihats, I don't think there's anyone who would explain it better than you :,

Usually you have results like that, when your guitar player makes drums 😂
