Make your drums more dynamic!

0:45 Not everything has to be full blast
2:52 Not everything has to be on the grid
4:39 Not everything has to be super bright all the time (I’d guess most producers don’t use the filter technique presented here)
7:20 Comparison
Anything you’d like to add?

That’s a really good topic! And I hope someone proves me wrong but I don’t think it can be easily done; I’ve tried with some separate samples but it never works out well. This is why I hate most shaker samples as, while they sound good, they’re just the one sound while it should be two sounds, the “push and pull” but most samples are just the push. I’ve been using this one shaker sample I found on this Finnish funk record a lot and I’m nearly 100% sure I’ve given it away via my Patreon at some point.

Great vid thanks man! Could you at some point make a video on how to make nice realistic shaker loops? Achieving a natural sound rather than a digital one can be tough at times
