Add ENERGY to your Drum Loops | You Suck at Drums #3

[@Dammittdannyy]

Crazy how in the span of 3 videos I feel like I've improved more than I have in the last 6 months. Thanks so much for this series, it's helped me a ton already.

[@ssl33p]

This is exactly what I felt

[@CircleOfSvlt]

really shows the power of a good teacher

[@elpelone]

Agreed. Really wild. I've been off and on producing hip hop for years and never came across a teacher who broke down building energy so well. Always got stuck in 4 bar drum loops

[@Coentiveri-it7tz]

This is the second video I've seen from Captain Condescender today and I gotta say I love it not only because he obviously knows his shit but because homey talks to me like I'm an idiot and it's all a part of the show. He's got me cracking up and learning hands on at the same time. TWO THUMBS UP!

poor derek, he deserves it :)

[@MegaTwistD]

Love how even if I know info that you’re discussing, I always learn something. You’ve turned me into a monster. Great job! You are the best at keeping the viewer interested out of every other KZbinr and your music is good! Thank you.

[@stuartleighton]

This is the drum tutorial that I needed to find a while ago. I have paid for tutorial series that don't cover the drums half as well as this series. Absolutely fantastic, and easy to follow too. Masterful piece of educating, respect!

[@EVILJAMARR]

I AM TIRED OF THIS GUY TELLING ME WHAT TO DO. I’M GOING BACK TO THE MINES.

[@neoconnor4395]

lol Dude I dunno if you're being serious but I actually hate this show. Because I'm already at the mercy of KZbin tutorial rabbit hole hell because I'm trying to figure something out, and something tells me this guy probably has the solution to my problem but I have to tolerate him talking to me like I'm a complete idiot for like, 8 minutes. I don't know how people like this show. It legit frustrates me.

[@EVILJAMARR]

@@neoconnor4395 I love this show and if you can’t tell he’s playing a character in his videos and not being condescending at all, I think you should book an appointment with a mental health professional.

same here bro!!

[@Violant3]

i do this in a different way, instead of using the sample in one shot mode i just put it in classic. i've never noticed this gate/trigger option.

Same! This made my life a lot easier

the subtle shortcut callouts are a great bonus

6:27 with the most elite Ableton tip that I would've never figured out

[@Ten80pete]

My thought exactly! It's such a subtle thing, but I find that the most effective producers have the keyboard shortcuts and little idiosyncrasies memorized, and with how many features any DAW has, that's saying something!

[@blackoutsolidguy6219]

Wow this video was so family friendly and helpful. I watched all the way to the end, thank You papa

[@twoey2]

This could be the best series of tutorials for anything...ever

I just spent way more time than i should have getting lost in these videos. Just subscribed but you deserved it from the first one. Insanely entertaining and educational.

amazinz... i increase my music thanks to you.... amazing to have you1

[@ianmcnabb3452]

I'm following along in Logic Pro and struggling to "gate" / "choke" the open high hat. Any help would be great!

[@ianmcnabb3452]

In case anyone else is curious, I found a work around by going into Drum Machine Designer > Selecting the open high hat sample > Q-Sampler Main > Slice > and Turning on Gate at the bottom.

[@jnfk]

awesome. thank you

[@anapaulaarredondosantos3543]

aaaaaAAAAAAH THANKS SO MUCH

[@malanhemal6574]

I was dying watching this! 😂😂

[@marc.lepage]

I would argue that you can also raise energy merely by moving elements from the weaker beats to the stronger beats. (Maybe that falls under "making an element more active" but by placement, not by quantity.)

[@ArunIyer]

Awesome tutorial, this doubles as a walk through of the daw too lol tell me i suuuuuck more :P

[@isellcrack3537]

lol "noisekick" XD I`m pretty sure Rudmer would appreciate that kick carries his name

CAME for a tutorial...STAYED cause of the jokes

[@heroscape293]

The single downvote must be Derek

[@peterkroman]

Thanks! You make good educational videos 😁I have seen alle three "You Suck at Drums" several times, and I have surely learned a lot. But ... I need to learn how I make a drum session work with an instrumental recording in Ableton Live 11. I play the guitar, and I like to record popular songs which I organise in several tracks for guitar only. For that I sometimes need a drum track to back the whole thing a little up. Let's say I have a melody, where I have an instrumental intro, and after that I need drums for verse, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, and an outro where the drums stops before the song. How do I set that up in Ableton - so that the drum session starts at the right time, it shifts between verse, chorus and outro at the right time and stops at the right time. If you coukd help me with that I would very much appreciate it 👍

I’m loving this new drum series💯🔥🙏🏻

[@Lestrela]

Can we get a series on working with the modes please? Yeah I know, lots of tutorials on this topic already but I'd like to see them from YOU because I think a theme song for Derek and Uncle Joe in Locrian would be neat. Also a tutorial on how to make a vocoder become a class act like in this song kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJmlZ3-YbMSehJo

[@urphakeandgey6308]

[@Lunarimoths]

great video! would love one on making even more fills/variations. ty again underbelly

[@Penguinz13989]

you have nice production tricks but I think you should consider that high "energy" is sometimes best achieved by slowing down / half timing the drums and reducing the number of elements. Half timing drums at the catchiest or loudest section is probably the easiest way to achieve a sense of power and energy

[@ColmoLuciano]

[@resofactor]

[@favclassisspy9478]

Wowzers I just created four drum clips at different energy levels

could u please do one on modulation like changing the pitch of certain number of drum sounds like hihats, I don't think there's anyone who would explain it better than you :,

POOR DEREK

[@nnarcus]

1:35 I'm following along in FL and I don't really understand what's going on here. It speeds up the sample by halving the sample time?

[@Pilsners]

by halving them and then moving them back so they fill the empty space hope that made sense if not just look at what happens to those rectangles

[@S1mplySmithers]

You need to set the sample itself to 'Stretch' mode instead of 'Resample', you'll see the option when you double click the sample.

[@teqnify63]

It’s just changing the high hats from playing 8th notes to playing 16th notes. It has nothing to do with stretch or resample. Stretch and resample are for time-stretching the actual drum sound.

[@Vegan_Kebab_In_My_Hand]

It divides note length by 2, it has nothing to do with time stretching, it only affects the midi notes.

[@bartjanc]

Now I’m interested in country trap....
