EDM Drums Masterclass Tutorial
On this 5 hour EDM Drums Programming Masterclass, you will learn everything you need to successfully create, program and process electronic drums to make them explode out of your mix!
Module 1 - Kick Fundamentals
Learn many fundamentals, such as the 3 main parts that make up a kick. With this knowledge you can start to shape and personalise your kick drums which is essential to creating unique productions.
Next we identify the fundamental frequency of a kick so it can be tuned to your track - very important! A lot of producers skip this part.
Learn how to shape your kick exactly to your requirements by using the amplitude and pitch envelopes, and how this affects the snap, body and sub to create different kicks for different genres.
Discover best practices using sampler tracks and how to use the latest technology available by loop selling sites, such as tempo and pitch syncing the samples so they play along with your track, before you've even purchased them.
Module 2 - Layering Drums
Module 2 is all about making your drums stand out and sound bigger / fatter, by layering different samples together. You'll learn many techniques for layering and how to tune the layered drums together whilst looking out for the common pitfalls.
You'll learn the importance of attack, tail and width to help gel your samples together whilst making them fatter, without phasing and frequency clash issues. Discover how to layer kicks, snares, hats and shakers from a basic level and then using more obscure sounds after that, to achieve that unique sound.
Jay also teaches how to use duplicate channels for stereo width, and pitching and panning techniques to make the drums 'pop'.
Module 3 - Transient Shaping
Transient shaping is when you alter the ADSR of the audio sample. Why do this? Jay shows you why. Learn how to use the dynamic stock plugins available in most DAWs to shape your drum sounds and make them fit perfectly into your track. For example, does your snare need more attack? Is the kick tail too long and flabby? Don't skip this stage!
Jay also demonstrates EQ, gating and compression techniques to further make the drum sounds more punchy, tighter and cut through the mix.
Module 4 - Making Beats
In this 4th Module you'll learn in detail the typical drum placements and drum sounds used in popular genres such as House, Techno, Trance and Drum and Bass. Watch and follow along if you like and make these beats yourself. All audio samples used are included in the download file.
In addition, you'll learn to add things like ghost hats / snares to create extra rhythm with similar tonality to the rest of your beat. Discover the importance of humanizing your beats to make your groove sound real and natural. The processing required to make these drums 'pop' is covered in the next module.
Module 5 - Processing Beats
Continuing with our beat making from the previous module, we now take our made beats and professionally mix the individual sounds together before treating them with Bus / Group processing. The genres mixed in detail are House, Techno and Drum & Bass. Different techniques are used in each genre to pass along as much useful information as possible.
You'll learn how to use several layers of compression and saturation in series, to get the beats glued together and sound more cohesive. Learn secrets such as how to add deeper rhythm to an element by using delay and increase the stereo width or how to tighten up a shaker with a gate or how to avoid muddy reverb on your drum group. The list goes on...using parallel processing for pure crunch, adding modulation, using the latest plugins (free and paid for) etc. etc. You will love this!
Module 6 - Essential Extras
To finish off this huge course, you'll learn some more fundamental skills in drum programming and mixing. For example, learn how to create your own unique drum fills with Jay's quick and clever method. Why not just pull in fills and loops from packs? To be unique! You need to create your own production sound.
Learn how to create your own completely unique drum loops by cutting different loops together. Discover the best practices when programming in a long snare roll i.e. how to make it interesting and create tension. Learn how to 'beat trace'. Beat tracing is a way to copy the pattern of another beat and replace the sounds with your own. So if your preferred genre is not covered in Modules 4 and 5 (such as Trap) then Jay shows you how to beat trace a Trap loop. This method can be applied to any genre.
The course finishes off with a handy lesson on using external Drum controllers (Akai MPD218) and a final checklist and recap on everything you've learned.
