TRANSFORM YOUR RIFFS w/ Misha Mansoor - drum programming tutorial

[@GetGoodDrums]

Who's gonna try this next time they sit down to write a song??

[@joakimcarli8458]

dis boy

[@lennartbellemann]

Would you be nice enough to let us know how you got that tone out of your jst plugin ?

[@hectorsoulless]

Right here!!

[@mudmike]

Just starting out with GGD and Cubase but man these are some cool and very helpful tricks to play around with. Thanks !

[@skinnyjimmy22]

meee

[@DarkItachi1]

we need more of this Misha Drum Programming tutorials all day every day

[@DacianGradaMusic]

I'd watch Misha tutorials all day everyday.

[@KS-ld7zs]

Veil of Maya's Eclipse, especially the title track, is a fantastic example of this in practice. They are constantly changing the feel of the song by playing with the drumming.

[@megustale69]

10.69/10, will buy ggd as a stocking stuffer for the whole family this Christmas. But for real this is why periphery has such a loyal fanbase. even though this is essentially an advertisement it's genuine and educational to the home recording folks. cheers

[@GetGoodDrums]

Appreciate the support!

[@irusu.]

i know right

[@NineInchFailz]

Honestly, Misha seems like one of the most genuine dudes. All over youtube i see him sharing his knowledge and experience to help the bedroom metal community in making better music. He puts so much effort into teaching people and never tries to make a dime off of it. Thanks Misha, you're the best

[@utfan971]

If I recall correctly, Periphery itself started out as a bedroom production project, so Misha knows first hand the stuff we deal with.

[@hectorsoulless]

As a non-drummer who programs the drums for my band, this is awesome!

[@GetGoodDrums]

Thanks for watching!

[@sunnymittal1906]

I love listening to Misha and Nolly talk music and production. Such helpful and talented people giving us lifetimes of information for free.

[@oliverknaupp976]

Bro...please make more drum programming Videos! It is amazing! Love it!❤

[@tylorkenniston1192]

Hey you, guitar guy! It’s me, Misha from Periphery!

[@qanderson]

It's sweet to see this turned out to be Parabolica!

[@jordynentwisle7742]

Haha, thought I recognised Parabolica from somewhere!

[@frankjager1647]

I know it's been said to you about a thousand times in recent memory, but I truly believe you're just as good of a teacher as you are anything else. It's very obvious that you aren't faking your passion for songwriting, and that translates incredibly well into how you go about sharing what it is you do. Please stick with this, you're doing GREAT.

[@jonathanandersson4003]

A very good example of this is the intro of Absolomb and the breakdown of it. Same accents but completely different context and feel. Great work!

[@ph0kused]

misha production demos or gear demos are my new favorite thing.

[@justin_gosselin]

I've found that randomizing the velocity of your drum hits (within a given range that's section appropriate) goes a long way with making things sound more human - especially if you like to layer drum samples. Great video guys!

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

Misha is such a great guy. He is very straightforward and honest, and willing to share all of his knowledge. I went to a clinic he gave at Sam Ash in St. Petersburg, FL, and he was so humble and open that it made it a really great experience.

[@carlasker9285]

I totally agree with Misha on this. Rhythm guitars in metal are very percussive and should be aligned with the kick drum. They benefit from each other. Without making it sounding too industrial and artificial, you can actually make yourself (as a home studio producer) sound like a really good band.

[@marshalltudhope6293]

Greatest metal band in Kick Drum history

[@stijnbos7614]

This was awesome Misha, would be awesome to see more of these!

[@GetGoodDrums]

Thanks for watching!

[@andromeda6463]

The top quality drum editing and your epic guitar abilities have nothing on your truely high kwality Imovie skills. I simply cannot comprehend how someone can be so talented.

[@lukas5022]

The toms section at 11:35 reminds me so much of the diablo 1 and 2 soundtracks i love it so much

[@jonnyreid7823]

Glorious. Thanks man! I always enjoy your videos. I just did the professional cross grade from logic to QBase and I must say, you’re absolutely right about the drum editor. Just an absolute pleasure to work with.

[@reiniervanzwieten7092]

WHY IS MISHA WEARING THE RAMENS SHIRT AND NOT MARK HOLCOMB IN WHAT UNIVERSE AM I?

[@josephwright938]

YES! Love me some Ta Tsu-ya Ramen!

[@NickSlipnir]

they too poor, so they share tshirts

[@FarnsworthOfDM]

Why would he wear Mark Holcomb?

[@kenanatkinson7335]

The fact that this became Parabolica makes me happy 😊

[@NyuuPhyllo]

As a drummer who programs a lot of drums in my band, I like sometimes to NOT put the kick drum at the same time as the guitars and play a bit with the duality between guitars rhythm and kick drum rhythm. I think you can get very nice things with this idea sometimes, that can still be very heavy. Really depends on what you want and what you need.

[@TheSkeletonSkier]

His demo sounds better than my final mixes!

[@drphalanges1520]

This is fucking GOLD. I just got my Getgood Halpern kit and I'm doing this as soon as I get home.

[@kylegrossi8175]

these videos are always helpful and inspiring.

[@plateusigmaband4912]

please do more of this videos please sooooo goood ! thanks a lot

[@GetGoodDrums]

Thanks for watching!

[@chriscompton7493]

Misha - "This doesn't necessarily sound good".... Me - "Crying tears of musical bliss"

[@alexoday5224]

Discuss metric modulation (I think that’s the correct term). My band has a song that bounces back n forth from 132 and 99bpm, because 8th triplets in 132 is equivalent to straight 16ths in 99. Discovering that opened up a ton of doors for our writing.

[@abuventertainment2856]

thats trippy stuff, where can I hear that song?

[@alexoday5224]

Abuv Entertainment you can browse my channel, in the upcoming material playlist. They’re just rehearsal videos we put out. We’re currently waiting for final mixes to come back from the studio

[@solarnewborn]

I got very excited when I found that out. However I tend not to oversaturate my music with it when I'm writing because I'm worried my drummer won't be able to pull it off xD

[@troyclemens]

Thank you Misha I appreciate you

[@maxmustermann-hf7vw]

2:25 *Wether its on the drum side, or how you play it on the, aehm, instrument side*

[@awake2xenator]

absolutely awesome, thanks for those examples, that help too much

[@nortongartino4602]

Great video!

[@norbertbalaz5281]

Awesome! Thank you for your advices on programming drums - me, i am only playing guitar, so i have no clue how to write good drums :D

[@stevelouth7011]

I wander if in the future a built in drum editor is possible in the GGD software would be awesome !!!!!! Great tutorial !!!!!

[@DaveSteele07]

I used to wonder how come tv hasn’t produced something like this in pretty much all of it’s history!! I used to dream about watching how people recorded tunes!

[@Scias]

Hey guys Misha here, today I'd like to show you how I program my drums and make them djent like really hard, in this tutorial video I've made in between the episodes of Boku No Piku I watch on my time off

[@wizmos74]

Great tips Misha,thanks a lot for that,Q what i've heard your kick follow your guitar i'ts that correct?

[@darrenbrowndrums]

The power of motif!!👍

[@SelkeMusic]

Aside from these helpful tips, I learned Misha likes to play around with stuff

[@OGM_OriginalGameMusic]

I call this musical seasoning! It's not elegant but I understand what I'm talking about! XD. Yeah this is something i've just started to do. For some reasons its requires a bit of confidence for me to do. I had to build myself up for some reason

[@pascalolejnik7347]

very cool ideas !

[@mateoduarteparedes2609]

Pov: you see this video after watching Misha's new song

[@michaelbennett8981]

Misha Manssor is a legend! Every video I see is top quality! Does anyone know if the drums are played to the grid (perfectly quantised) - it doesn't sound too mechanical, and has a convincing feel. I don't own Cubase or GetGoodDrums, but I own BFD3, SD2, Studio Drummer, Abbey Road Drums via Logic X. i wished I could get great sounding drums/feel, but my results aren't as natural sounding as in this video. Thanks in advance!

[@01left]

@Misha i need a tutorial about your Bass Tone please help us!! How did you record it? Directly to J48 or Axe Fx? And how did you Mixed it? Thanks

[@SamuelWalker11]

Can misha do video starting from scratch programming drums? Would love to see that

[@GetGoodDrums]

He did a few programming videos on this channel!

[@SamuelWalker11]

GetGood Drums thanks! I’ll check it out

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Very useful for us noobs. Thank you.

[@LeeMcKinney]

Holy shit I watched this for TOO long before I realized it's a RAMEN SHIRT! haha Love it.

I wanted to listen to the whole thing!

[@eskilseter]

How can I get my hands on a MIDI editor like that for drum programming? The default Cubase piano key layout is amazingly frustrating to work with. Is it a GGD editor, or can I get something like that as a plugin somewhere?

[@GetGoodDrums]

Pretty much every daw has something like this - i dont use cubase so im not sure what this editor is called but i know its just part of the stock daw like hyper editor is in logic. The piano roll is pain!

[@steph1176]

I just wanted to hear it played all the way through once.

[@OranConfined]

Badass video! How about a snare mixing tutorial? In every demo/tutorial of yours im always amazed by the snare sounds, ive figured its M&M high tuned bell snare, but id love to know your mixing chain!

[@GetGoodDrums]

Coming soon!

[@scottydogg278]

I'd recommend checking out the Periphery Studio Pass on Creative Live - Nolly goes through mixing a track and he's a beast

[@OranConfined]

@@scottydogg278 yeah im gonna check that out! Everything nolly does is freaking mind blowing!

[@JohnHartmanMortalDecay]

[@easton_ography]

9:31 I'm officially referring to this as Meesh-Mashing from now on

[@DestroyingTheDevoid]

This is great! Very helpful advice. What parts of the GGD Modern & massive kit are you using? Would be cool to see your selection of kit pieces Kick, Snare, Tomes etc. You should do a GGD M&M mixing tutorial! Thanks!

[@GetGoodDrums]

We have several mixing tutorials, give them a look!

[@VVVY777]

Are the drums heavily processed? Would really want to learn about the drum sound he got with M&M. Sell us the preset or session??

[@ezassegai4793]

yes the drums do have lots of processing as well as probably some sample layering and parallel compression

[@jacek.strzelczyk]

I have GGD both versions and I can’t make your „goto preset” sound. :-( Even with „boost” function.

[@jared338]

I demand a Misha comedy hour!

[@ARC_Projects]

9:28 you could call it a Misha Mansoor Mish Mash

[@MCYoshii]

wait... was the intro greenscreened??

[@JwOhEight]

Parabolica!

[@speedyleedy3828]

Maybe a dumb question, What program is he using to actually program the drums in?

[@CHEMICALFINGERPRINT1]

Where do I find pedal chick on getgood drums?

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Sorry, noob question - what's a ghost note?

[@johnstitt2615]

Perhaps you could do 60’s and 70’s drum style samples and call it the Get Groovy Drum Pack. ✌️🤓

[@gripphillips]

Is that drummer software really have a sequencer in it or is that a different vst

[@michaelmiller8871]

It's the daw, not the sim

[@holtpreston8359]

Can I get this Cubase template?

[@deadeyes2803]

misha mansoor, the arin hanson of djent

[@SuperWestGhost]

How in the bloody everloving fuck did you quick select every alternating hit to move the velocity down like that @ 6:47?

[@RLDWEBER]

...dude can we get a short video demonstrating keyboard shortcuts and all the things you do to get through editing so fast?

[@kyfisher3662]

wish there was a way to edit the drums while in track view all lined up instead of having to enter the midi track

[@Awezomenis5150]

Cubase has that ability. You can have a split of the tracks on top and the midi editor on the lower half. You can adjust how much of each but never actually have to leave either screen.

[@kyfisher3662]

awesome, thanks man! :D@@Awezomenis5150

[@m4ssee]

This would be helpful if only I could get the volume balance right. Everytime I try to do some post-processing for the drums, all the ghost notes end up sounding just as loud as the full hits no matter how low I put the velocity and if I just use the out of box sounds without any post-processing, the drums just end up sounding too dry. So some basic drum mixing tips would be more than welcome. Or then just release an "EzGGD" for us noobs with fully mixed out of box sounds.

[@GetGoodDrums]

Try some volune automation!

[@BrofUJu]

Probably need a happy medium on your compression/limiting too. Gets it slamming but also kills dynamics.

[@Allthewrongkeys821]

LOOK AT ME! I’M MR. MISHASEEKS!

[@christophermcclelland1556]

How do you adjust those velocities all at one time? I've been using cubase for 2 years and I still don't know how to do that...

[@SelcraigClimbs]

Likely done by holding control and selecting the midi. This should highlight them all and then if you change the velocity bar of one, they all change at together. This works in reaper and should work in any DAW

[@christophermcclelland1556]

@@SelcraigClimbs thank you sir. I will give this a try

Drums are better to do. Then your guitar has something to follow. It just helps with accenting.

[@dylanloera7783]

Great video! I like what you say at the end, because allot of metal bands have that problem especially in the tech death scene. Where the song is essentially just a slew of a bunch of really tight riffs, but the song never calls back to a idea; it is just a song filled with ideas that happen to work together, but how many of those ideas as a listener can you really remember? Allot of metal bands would really learn allot if they listened to Above and Beyond, and Anjunabeats and how they structure their ideas; and essentially take a 16bar loop and create a whole 6minute song out of it, that varies through out. Same thing as Pantera, they really understood the more simple the song structure, the greater experience the average listener will achieve.

[@GetGoodDrums]

Exactly
