Who this course is for:

• Students who are making tracks, but want a better handle on how to program drums.
• Students are interested in electronic music and want to learn the fundamentals of drum programming.

What you’ll learn: 

• Understand and be able to use basic beat patterns and build unique and progressive beats.

• The 6 keys to understanding meter and pulse

• The keys to making solid Drum and Bass drum patterns.

• The keys to making bangin Dubstep drum patterns.

• The keys to making tight Trap drum patterns.

• The 3 most important elements of the drum pattern

• The 5 keys to a drum groove with “feel”

• The most important elements to the “basic pattern”

• The top 5 reasons to add “swing” to your patterns

Requirements: 

• Students should be comfortable with an audio sequencing application (Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic, FL Studio, Fruity Loops, etc.) Any audio sequencer will work.

• Students should be ready to make tracks using beats!

• Sample libraries are not required. Samples will be provided.

• Students do not need to know how to read music, rhythms, or any music theory.

• Must have taken Drum Programming Masterclass Part One: Rhythms And Patterns

This course uses Ableton Live and some Logic, but it will be easy to follow along on whatever program you are most comfortable with. We will start the class off with an explanation of working with samplers, and working on the MIDI grid. Then we will learn to adapt that pattern to work for a number of different styles, including Drum and Bass, Trap, and Dubstep.

This is a class designed for music producers who are ready to get serious about drum programming. The art of programming drums on a MIDI grid, in drum machines, or with audio files can be tricky to master but when you finish this class, your tracks will have the extra energy that comes from professional drum tracks.

Also in the class, we will be doing a number of analysis projects. That just means we will load up some tracks, and reconstruct the beat in the track. Doing this will help us to see how those beats are built, and guide us in making our own beats.

Our Promise to You

By the end of this course, you will have learned samplers and sequencing in drum programming.
