How to produce hard hitting drums and unique patterns? by Pascal Guyon.
This is a music production tutorial.
In this video I’m explaining how to produce hard hitting drums as well as interesting and unique patterns. The goal is to create a unique flavor and vibe for your songs. It is also greatly important to maker people dance. I massively learned from traditional african music while spending time in Cuba and transcribing hundreds of albums.
To recapitulate:
– Build your own high quality drum kits by sampling isolated drum sounds on high quality albums !
– Affect them to make them yours !
– Use the plug ins I talked about to get harder hitting sounds if needed
– MOST IMPORTANT POINT: Travel the world and expose yourself to traditional music. THIS will profoundly change you and make you much more inspired and much more able to create UNIQUE patterns that will deeply TOUCH people.
– Sample stuff during your travels so that you can create super cool and new unique drums kits.
– The more unique your life is, the more soul your music will have, the more ability you will have to create music that will impact people ! Embrace experiences !
