Focused on: Making Drums That Matter!

Подробнее о видео

FOCUSED on the creation of drums for house music and some of the nuance that help tie them together. Around halfway, we'll bring in some Piano samples that really help us get a sense of where the song can go! These are drums for a collaboration project I have with @mattwildemusic, an amazing pianist, so I want my drums to hold down the rhythm while not taking too much focus away from the piano. We'll be using the Digitakt to get this going so I can recall the sounds easily later. Yes, I do work for Elektron, but that's the day job and this is me jamming on the drum machine that I've been using for years before doing work for them.
