How do I download those samples? Do I have to put a card? because I already have account, then I read that there is an application that has to have the lap ??

[@splice]

Sounds is a paid subscription... We do have a free trial however you will need to enter your card. We have a desktop app so you can download sounds, get that at : www.splice.com/download

I like how you address the beginners by explaining what a measure is, while also providing a gold mine of information for even advanced musicians. I learned a lot thanks.

That really was very cool

[@jakehettinger1087]

there are so many poorly explained drum pattern videos on KZbin. This one is one of the great ones. Thank you Nick and thank you splice! Please keep videos like this coming.

[@germain311]

I’ve learned everything I know about drum patterns from this video within 2 hours and I feel like I have a SOLID foundation now. You got my vote for most helpful music production video I’ve seen so far!!! Thank you!

[@aldrinsaclolo]

As someone whos staring to be a producer (and knows nothing about playing drums), this is one of the most important videos I've seen. Thank you sir.

This video will kick start my adventure for real. As a upcoming middle-aged newbie producer, I'm mostly doing things for my own amusement. But I have been struggling with creating drum patterns. Turns out I'm missing the basics even, and you've been so helpful giving me such valuable information.

[@RandomVideos4U]

this is unreal drum eduaction here

[@jaleelamusa6552]

This is quite literally the video I've been trying to find for years. Exactly what I wanted explained and in depth. I'll be rewatching this many times because this is precisely what I've been trying to better understand about drum patterns.

[@jm52hz]

omg same

[@christianpitt798]

It's crazy how upcoming "producers" are not running this video up. So many educational life changing gems just in this one video. Sadly, most upcomers start out doing just about anything with no regard for basics. Literally spent the whole day digesting this video and I am so glad I did. Keep up the good work Splice!🙌 Whoever came up with this idea to actually teach production as a change in direction for splice is a BLOODY genius and DESERVES a raise. And so DOES Nick😤. He is a BLOODY Legend!!!

[@practice_Chinese_yoga]

I have been decades looking for a video like this. How much wisdom in so little time!

Knowing which instruments are used for each type is on its own priceless. Put a melody on top and there you have it. Even try to just copy what is shown here and take it from there. God bless ya and have a healthy year, brother!)

Hands down one of the best videos I've seen on music production in a while. I'd love to see some breakdown videos where you take apart the drums on a track and explain what is going on the way you did here.

[@gepvpr]

I havent even got 2 min in the video and i know this is a blessing thank you

[@torley]

This is a wonderful "whole workflow" resource, including the actual sounds you used. Great tutorial, Nick. I like Splice sounds a lot, but I wish that the search engine was better (especially with so many sounds) and that you could do boolean operator and phrase searches to narrow down results.

[@damonwicketts1638]

It amazing how rare it is to get good vocal audio for music production videos. This is a good sign.

Some 80’s New wave, Dark wave, Synth wave, GOTH drum tuts would be sick AF!

[@holmholmsen4158]

1. Find an example of a drum pattern you like 2. Download it and drag it into your DAW 3. Isolate a full loop and cut it at the start and finish 4. Adjust the tempo to fit the song 5. Use the grid to see which hits go where 6. Voila, you can now replicate any drum pattern

[@sosickhcdrums]

Holm Holmsen - can’t wait to try this, thank you so much!

[@holmholmsen4158]

@@sosickhcdrums No problem. Note that most music with real drums will not have a completely consistent tempo, so you will notice the hits lining less and less up with the grid the longer you make the sample. So with those, at least for the sake of learning how to make them, I'd recommend slicing the clip into as few hits as possible.

[@bartelvandervelden9894]

I like to, as someone with a background in drumming, approach it with funk. If you know how to do funk, do that and make it more like your bassdrum is hyperactive. To get a good starting point, I'd suggest Commodores' Brick House and RHCP's Give It Away. It might not help you as much with those unnatural hihat rolls, but it definitly helps with the bassdrum

[@carlostonebanks]

@@bartelvandervelden9894 - the very fact that someone is asking for "808 patterns" is an indication of how far beyond your understanding of music is from theirs.
