How to make syncopated deep house Toms like Mind Against, Tale of Us, and Colyn

- In this video we'll see how to use toms to complete the groove of your track's low end.
We introduce you to the concept of syncopation, a.k.a. rhythms that accent the weak beats.
Then we show this in practice, in the context of a track with some sound design as well, layering in some bass, all that good stuff 😁.
The type of toms we will programme here are similar to those used by artists like Mind Against, Colyn, Tale of Us, Colyn, Eelke Kleijn, and other artists on the Afterlife and Life and Death labels. Particularly, you might recognise this pattern from "Mind Against - Walking Away".
We use Ableton Live 10, and typical Roland TR-808 drums, and Ableton's Wavetable synth for some sound design.

Hi, is it possible on your patreon channel to get the project? I tried to rephrase it but was unsuccessful.
The best way to explain it are the e' and a's. So you count them between the 1 & 2 and it goes like this 1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 and so on
The only correction I’d offer for anyone who is watching this and who is trying to learn the basics regarding intervals, at ~06:48 the interval of G2 to C3 is accidentally called a Perfect Fifth when it’s actually a Perfect 4th. If we inverted those two notes putting C3 on the bottom and moving the G up to what would be G3 on top, then that intervalic distance would consist of 7 semitones, otherwise known as a Perfect 5th. Understandable slip up since the two are so closely related.
As a side note and again to anyone trying to learn theses things, here’s a tip to always be able to easily identify what the inversion (or opposite) of any given interval is: both interval numbers added together equal 9. So a 3rd inverted is a 6th, a 5th inverted is a 4th. So by knowing what one interval is, coupled with basic arithmetic, you can quickly and easily determine what the intervalic inversion is. Taken one step further, the intervalic qualities invert as well. So a Major 3rd inverted is a minor 6th, an augmented 2nd inverted is a diminished 7th. And Perfect intervals inverted are also Perfect, hence the name ; )
Great content, keep it up!
The algorithm has led me to you, many times in the past 3 weeks. Great improvements from the algorithm side! I love all of it.
Algorhythm more like! Okay, I'll show myself out.
Me too!
All praise the mighty algorithm!
Loving your weeklies, well said snd concise in detail. Big fan, cheers from Chicago. Andrew/ Flowgistek. P.S. Tasty…lmao. Luv
From what I've seen so far:
- Understandable explanations
- Great presentation; you seem to show off you know what you're talking about
- Good simple videos with annotations that make sense
- SuperB original content overall
- Wishing you a shit load of subs... speaking of: subbed!
Generous and motivational analysis, thanks for the support! ❤ Starting from scratch on YT is hard to get attention, but I hope it starts reaching & helping more people soon!
@@OscarUnderdog You're welcome!
Pro-tip: look for groups on reddit where you can contribute/answer questions, and/or link to your vids, like r/edmproduction/ , r/TechnoProduction , /r/DJs, /r/beatmatch, /r/ableton , etc.
Sure, there is a lot of competition/content out there already, but imo most make it either too complicated or not structured, or using exotic VST's etc.
This is where you shine as an experienced teacher breaking it down and keeping it structured.
I'm "monitoring" tut's on sound-production since "early youtube" and I absolutely agree with you. 🙏
@@OscarUnderdog Believe me or not, but your channel has a great future!
@@bascurtiz You named proper "r" channels 👍. As form me, i'll share this channel among my friends, some of S. Tolkachev's current students should see it and subscribe. Greetings from Kiev, UA
I can't believe this exists. Absolutely incredible. Subbed.
I am from Brazil, I am learning how to produce electronic music and I love your way to teach, it's a peculiar talent that few people have for sharing concepts and ideas...
Thank you for that.
Btw, I love Brussels and Belgium
Tom’s have been one of those things that sit on my list to understand more. This video provided a great workflow and understanding “placement then pitch “ subbed thank you!
Thank you so much you've just hit "the nail on the head" my tracks were missing that concept.... ive just added the toms groove, fits like a glove thanks again
This channel is my best find on YT in 2021 :p + it's near my home and this is by far the most detailled tutorials , you just dont replicate something , you really learn the mechanics of the sound , thanks for providing us all that knowledge
Really high quality content. You're really hitting the sweet spot, hope to see more.
Great video. I don't even make this style of music and still found this very insightful. You have an excellent way of explaining things!
This is sooooo useful! Even if using another DAW, just listening to you gives straight creative input.
High quality videos. Clear explanation. Giving the high level overview while still providing concrete examples without getting lost in the specifics of which tool your using to create the sound design. This channel is phenomenal. Great work.
Damn man, I've dreamed finding an instructor like you. THANK YOU!
Absolutely killer explanation! Loved the in-depth approach.
Thanks again mate. Love Tom's
This channel is the best
This comment is the best 👆
I really like the way you explain and present information. Not too much, not to simple. Really a great balance! And you really get the feeling that you love music and like teaching and helping others to evolve
Love your tuts, bro! Watched some of your other work! Solid, simple and fast! Big ups and thank you!
Really good content! Direct to the point and easy explanations. Awesome!
Your tutorials are very detailed and the sound design is up to the mark. I am liking the way you are presenting over very ergonomically. Awesome
Ur so amazing.. tysm! (And especially for your time, knowledge and doing these vids for us)!🥹🙏🏽🧘🏽♀️✨
Gold! I just restructured my toms to syncopate against the kicks and it made a huge difference!! Toms also resonate a lot and I always gate them.
This was fantastic!
nice 1 oscar, on point as usual x
I've learnt more from you in two days than I had watching other video's over the last 12 months. Thank you.
Can't tell you how happy I am to read this. 💙
Loving this channel, great advice as usual!
Cheers Bri!
Sweet, thanks for the knowledge!
Brilliant video, well presented with clear instructions. You’ve got a real knack for teaching without rambling. Just Subbed

I’ve been struggling for to long this constant content is seriously appreciated motivating & inspirational!!
Thanks Oscar - nicely done
I just love these videos so much.
You've just saved me so much time, thank you
This is a fantastic tutorial. I hit a wall with regards to adding Toms to my track but this has really helped!
Amazing! Thank you ! ♥
You sir really explain things very clearly and in a great way. I am happy i found your channel. There's so many youtubers who make similar tutorials but it's just hard to follow and understand. You really hit the sweet spot perfectly!
Thanks for your kind words! Super cool that its helping people 😁✌
Its a good refresher for me, thank you!
Epic video. Proper useful.
Love your stuff man! Great information every time.

Best music channel hands down, thank you!
You're the man! So much good info on the channel!
Very helpful. Thanks man. Looking forward to catching up on your content!
I have been looking for a video explanation of this for ages! Thank you so much!
This guys doing the lord's work, sub up people.
🌈🤗
Oooooohhh, I’m loving this channel.
Can confidently know how to use toms now and the visual aspect really helped ! Thanks for this !
Use this power wisely Henry!
Спасибо тебе , добрый человек!
dope, dope! Tnx Oskar!
this is such a useful tutorial. i saw this in my sub box ages ago and didn't even bother to watch it until now because much like your student i never had the intention to (learn how to) use toms.
or rather, i had no idea what to use them for. i'm having a lot of fun with them on my 707 now. thanks oscar!
This is a really well thought out and explained video. The best explanation of syncopation I've ever seen. 👍👍
Only seen two videos and I love this channel!! I want more!
Awesome vid as always, the segmentation is really useful!
Yeah! It's simple once you see the underlying concepts I think! But I don't hear people explain those underlying concepts often enough.
nice vid, pretty complex concepts made very intuitive and simple, keep the good work ^^
This is by far one of the most useful and amazing youtube channels for music production. please keep it up brother!
Great tutorial as ever. This has given me loads of ideas. Thank you!
Really interesting theory combined with practical wisdom! Thanks!
real talk i subbed the first minute in. the visuals and the example song was so helpful thank you! great content
Finally got the solution for my beats! Thanks a lot!!!!!
Great tips as always keep up the good work
Wow I never know about this channel.
this AWESOME!
This education is incredible. Been making music in my bedroom for 8 years now and rythm is my weakest game. Easy to play a 4 beat banger but hard to master it like you have
Really useful and good! Thanks Oscar!
Merci Maxime! 👏
Dope stuff and well explained as always!
Thx Kylian!

Cheers Will!
Dad jokes are always welcome 💙
Thanks Oscar, I've been struggling with this and it's great to have some direction for experimentation
binge watching your tutorials
very informative!
Love the videos!! Huge congrats!
Would love to know more on how to use jazz percussion (which is often quite confusing) in house/deep house music! It’s quite hard to make it sound clean, but the engagement of the “off beat” percussion is so worth it in my opinion!
I'm not really a Dance Music / House guy (my background is in 90s HipHop), but this tutorial is superb. Makes me want to dig into dance music more.
Yes, we have a new player in town! :D Great videos, your channel will grow fast :)
superb video
this channell is going to take off
very nice!!
