As a drummer I can say that this tutorial is really well done like all the others you have done. And thanks for the free 80s drum machines samples, my DAW (MPC Beats) hasn't got this kind of drums, you changed my life 🙂
I really like this tutorial. Very hands-on, with different patterns and tempos, while at the same time encourages creativity. A question that comes to mind is how often do you find yourself recording the drums instead programming them (ie inserting the hits on the MIDI editor). What works for me is recording the basic rhythm. Then maybe record an overdub and at the final stage tweak them on the midi editor.
That's a great question. Because I am a drummer, it is typically very clear to me what I want in terms of patterns and I can quickly enter the notes on the MIDI editor instead of playing them on the pads of my MIDI controller. But I do see the value in doing it like you. Have a great one!
Hello Alonso, Great vids :) On your website, you suggest practicing making some drum patterns. When making a pattern, would you recommend making variations on one of the sounds like you do in these vids (e.g. just play around with snare and leave the others alone), or making variations on them all? (playing around with variations on the kick, the snare and the hi hats in the same pattern). I don't know if that might get too messy. Hope that makes sense (I'm a real novice)
Great question my friend. I recommend at first focusing on variations on one element at a time. I want you to get a feel for how changing one element alters the rhythm before moving on to the next. Then once you've covered them all, introduce variations on all three as practice. I recommend not going crazy when introducing variations on all three and to listen to a lot of pop and rock and identify the variations a real drummer uses. If you go too far with the variations, you might kill the groove and make it sound like "chopped spaghetti". This is why it's important to reference against what drummers do. Also, if this topic interests you, I recommend learning how to read a little bit of music notation and then purchase drum grooves and fills books on Amazon to further help you on how to program great drum parts and fills. Hope this helps!
@@SynthwaveDojo Very helpful thank you. I got all the LinnDrum samples loaded into the Daw sampler now, so will just play with these drums one instrument at a time for now. Subtle changes can make a big difference. Will try and pay a bit more attention to the drums when I'm listening to music too. Thanks for the reply :)
They are all Linndrum samples that came with my sampler Battery. But Linndrum samples you can find pretty much everywhere. Most likely next week I'll be releasing a free drum sample pack that includes LinnDrum samples so keep your eyes open for it on the channel. Thanks for watching and for your feedback. Have a great one!
In case you're interested, I just made available a FREE drum samples pack for synthwave. Find out more about it here ruclips.net/video/s7NYhDRH8k0/видео.html
For this video, I used Linndrum samples that came with Battery (the drum sampler I use). If you do a search online for "linndrum samples" I'm sure you'll get many results. Also stay tuned because I will be sharing drum samples here in the near future. Thanks for watching!

Great video. What library are your drum samples from?

@@SynthwaveDojo Thanks! Had a feeling they were from the Linndrum.
