7 Drum Programming Secrets for Irresistible Grooves

[@Alice-Efe]

I am still trying to recover from Covisko so a bit lower energy with weirder voice this week 😅 But you can still join my festival in Stockholm, come! www.mercurialtones.com/event-details/mercurial-tones-boutique-festival

[@KirbyAllen-s5l]

The video is great, but today I had a little bit of trouble understanding every word. I hope you get well soon!😊

[@MrRoskoPeko]

Clear, concise and to the point. The best production tips on the Internet.

[@dashcmusic]

I use swing almost all of the time now, it's the coolest thing ever to make your drums feel groovier

[@HVYCHKNRADIO]

Your videos are fun and super informative, thanks for making them so easy to follow and not overly long. Your Tech House production tips are fierce!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🥁🥁🥁🥁🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@elixier.music030]

Yeah! Thanks for sharing. So simple, but such effective. Love it!

[@EricBishard]

I’ve been watching since your channel begins. Amazing content. I think we have different tastes in genres and music but the tips are for everyone!

[@barcker4]

Best drum tutorial out there! Great tips, thanks 🔥 I would like to see how to make huge vocal washout fx’s (like in the new Genesi - Criminals Move In Silence 1:45->)

I have an electron Model Samples and i use The massiv variations and i use Kicks in The off and do let them only Play every zwo times or i only The second of 4 times. but the Most of the steps i have are full and i variate them per Hand is Not so Easy as at the computer thing but i love my Hardware the samplings and Synth i habe got. At the Computer i wouldn‘t find my creativity i habe to Touch Hardware.

these gifs in your videos are funny 🤣

[@disjean47]

i dont think i understand what you say about syncopation - a lot people tell different think, this hihat "roll", why is syncopation. Before syncopation i know was for example upbeat open hat, and accents offbeats. Maybe you can do video about syncopation?

[@semsmeb9745]

Yeah as good as her tutorials are syncopation is not doubletime hats. Best to ask a drummer

[@MrMikomi]

Syncopation at least in common parlance means rhythm in which stresses are not in the usual places.

Love your Videos , but sometimes (I mean always 😂) you are to fast for me to follow. 🏃‍♀️‍➡️ … 🏃‍♀️‍➡️

[@lefaurexavier1447]

I agree, but does that mean we are not at the level???

[@Alice-Efe]

This is really a hard balance. 😅 I do it slowly, and then tons of people complain and I get half the views. When I do it too fast then same problem. But know that I'm really trying to make it as entertaining and informative as possible in a length that "most" people are happy.

[@mattsmith1440]

​@@Alice-Efe I think you've got a good balance right now. I would prefer them to be too fast than too slow, because you can always pause the video, rewind etc. Speeding it up is also easy to do, but a bit less convenient imo.

[@soadforever]

Change the video playback speed to .75x ish? 🤟🏼

[@klinikat5313]

Dear Alice, too fast for me as well. Mostly Ableton Users are in advantage to follow.....however thank you for the tricks ❤

Great reel with tons of tips, but whoever decided it was a good idea to lay a cheesy drum or melodic loop under the vocal track needs to find a new line of work as it is totally unnecessary.

I have a feeling that she was a man in the past. Am I the only one with that impression?

[@pharmaladecream3867]

Well, yes. She speaks openly about it but more importantly it doesn't matter at all and she's a real cutie, too.

[@JCAlder]

Showing a black person to illustrate a darker sound is not okay

[@Alice-Efe]

Thank you for pointing this out. I shouldn't have missed this when I reviewed the video (often I just skim through the video to "save" time so it is on me). I also communicated with my editors so this type of mistake doesn't repeat again. I really appreciate that you help us to be better. I'm really sorry and it won't happen again.

[@4Nanook]

Synths are not drums. That you are able to program sounds to come out of a computer that have a vague resemblance to drums, well I am sure there are artistic applications for that, Kraftwork is a good example, but synthetic drums are not drums. If you have an ear you can hear the difference, the complex resonant sound that comes from a real cymbal is NOT the same as the gated pink noise out of a drum synthesizer, the overtones are different the lack of resonance is apparent. It can be used artistically but it shouldn't be confused with the real thing.

[@pizzamanmep]

Of course, you can't compare the sound of a real drum to a drum synthesizer sonically speaking.... But logically, anything that is the rhythmical base of a song can be said to be the "drums section" of a song

[@Alice-Efe]

You mean analog drums are not organic drums? I'm pretty sure we are all aware of it. 😅 In electronic music, we don't care about the source of the sound. If it sounds good = sounds good. Who cares how the sound is made.

[@TracingFlares]

Sorry. have to say this. Drums and trival is not yours. You have to learn a lot yourself there😊 I like your work in general. Maybe you are the best or one of best exponents of techno basslines and much more. But for drums.. they sound scheesy and soft in your tuts. I give you a hint. Go to Senegal of Cuba or Brazil and learn. 😊

[@sese6344]

Sorry. Have to say this to. Comments and giving tips is not yours. You have to learn really a lot here. I like the idea of helping in general, but there is nothing really helpful in your hints. Go to your parents or friends and learn.

[@TracingFlares]

@@sese6344 i see i touched buttons there. This is because you think that you or the mentioned video is perfect and can not be criticiced. You see there is still freedom to say when something just not right... what you can do is copy these cheap drums... you'll be one more copying without any idea whatsoever and without being yourself.

[@whoami133]

​@@TracingFlares How does going to cuba/brazil help with drum programming, could you elaborate further please

[@TracingFlares]

@whoami133 good question... if you can aford it (many great artist can) i think you should get out of the.. really always same sounding routine by traveling to places with different culture. It could be Cuba, Senegal, Japan, Brazil and even in US any Soul, black music. I have done it. Drumming my self. Also i had lot input in childhood from classic and jazz. This is in my opinion what most youngsters now are lacking and the reason... specially in edm.. that it just sound the same no matter what. Its alway 4/4 its always.... for me just boring. If you can not afford to travel and feel other countries music you still can widen by researching what you like. And there is a lot to talk about in this subject...
