NOOB vs PRO Drum Patterns

hey everyone, I used two different daws in this video and believe I'm the only KZbinr using multiple daws in a single video haha. Here's some background about me. I am primarily a Logic user. I just like it the best for no other reason other than because of how long I've been using it. I've been making Logic videos for years on youtube and recently wanted to appeal to users of all DAWS. This is why I started using FL Studio in videos. In the future, I'll be using Ableton, Fl Studio, and Logic in videos. Don't worry though. I am really good a teaching in a way that users of different DAWS can understand me no matter what DAW I am teaching in. Just stay focused on one thing, and that is writing good music. It does not matter which tools we use. As long as we are focused on writing good music, our skills will continue to grow.

[@kenumontenegro7507]

We want to see you use Ableton ❤️

[@emielvangulik2471]

Logic

[@peteranders6893]

I understand why my post is gone. Thanks for your answer though. I appreciate it mate. Hf.

Can you make a video on the short hihats swing

[@LegendaryHER]

It just keeps getting better and better the more in depth I go with each of these little snip lessons.

Alex, You can right click on the green dot of a track to make it solo sounding! ( FL studio short tip) 😎

[@starsantasta4351]

Honestly what "acting beginner" is mindlessly squeezing in more instruments in a drum beat, just to fit in to the notion of "more variety the better". There are some tracks some of which are better off even with only a kick and a snare, it depends on your own creativity and the feeling you want to get from the track, there is no such rule dictating how professional your music is depending on the number of samples you use for your drums.

[@tankyjones888]

Like Dynamite of BTS, having a simple beat and being the 1 place in billboard almost 7 weeks

[@matthewbiggs4139]

I gotta agree with you here. I think he should have described the vid differently, maybe saying its a list of ways or ideas for beginners on how to vary up drum patterns, but doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be better

[@orlandobarrantes6328]

Music has no rules, that’s all!😏

[@theamithsingh]

Best channel on KZbin Alex, you touch some practical issues that producers face and ask questions about.

[@AlexTuble]

Your reactions to these grooves are hilarious 😂 Great content

[@nathansvlog]

People like you make the internet a better place. I'm just making beats for fun and as a way to blow off some steam, but you're helping me achieve sounds I didn't think I could ever hope to.

[@naomisalama430]

Especially the importance of sound selection is a great point, but I think presented like this we're kinda running the risk of presenting an idea that "more is better" or "more professional" while that is definitely not always the case. Sometimes emptier patterns with just good sound selection goes the long way, without all the extra flourishes.

[@lookdawg187]

I let the sounds deform themselves as they mix in with each other. I call it musical abuse, just layers on top of layers and shit starts cutting itself off, like bass kick snare together sounds different to bass snare hi-hat. Reverse a few samples, especially the cymbals sound like they get sucked into the beat. I'm a total noob, not sure how this is pro. Or maybe I am pro, since one of the DJs I know collabed with Tiesto, who is a very famous DJ... I think his stuff sucks though.

[@HarryStone]

Great content. I appreciate the diplomatic way of effectively saying, "Making everything better so it doesn't suck so much, sounds better!"

[@preatop6031]

I think this guy makes the most useful videos n skills for those who make music at their home like me. It's pretty basic but it gives toms of details and what I should do and improve. Always Thank you bro 🔥🔥

[@aurelienguardiola7136]

Yes it's usefull but still simple. If u are musician ur gonna learn easely

[@theonkuring]

I've never seen tutorials so clear and concise as Alex Rome's TBH. Personally, I think I've improved on this hobby cos just gets like what points to discuss, what emotions do we want to come out of our sound. And what's even more amazing is he can discuss every genre and his demos sound absolutely on point!

[@stephenhare7369]

I think you've found the magic of keeping music fun Alex. Thanks for such a useful video tutorial!

[@crazychaba9816]

Never Been this early to an Alex Rome VIDEO i'VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH SOUND SELECTION SO THIS HELPED ME OUT A LOT

[@AlexRome]

sound selection is everything man!!

[@Conradaxx]

Love the video. It would be cool to see you mess around with triplets, swing, etc. I'm working on a track and just realized Logic won't quantize dot notes. They have triplets and all these swings but no dots, so I'm having to spend way more time using Serum with this particular beat.

[@DJ_Rain_305]

Did you find a way to quantize the dotted notes?

[@jojojitsgames8576]

is it just me who gets inspiration to make music from this guy?

[@bsways]

I think it’s best to keep drums really simple. It’s easy to end up doing too much and it all become too busy. Some of my favourite songs have the most basic drum track

[@handradetanakanak3211]

Thank you master watching from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

[@allencedano3532]

Dude you're the best, thank you for dropping these gems 🤞🏽🔥

[@djspair]

Love the ride on the kick technique. I've never tried that one. It adds a great accent. What do you think about laying snares/claps and shifting one off grid 1/2 beat to give the drums a bit of swing?

[@justalpha9138]

I do that on some songs, and I will say only really do it if it really compliments the song

[@Bittamin]

A lot of old school house had swing involved so that’s always a good way to go, swing usually is awesome

[@mar7838]

Great video! Quick FL tip for future videos to mute the tracks quicker. Right click or better Crtl/Cmd + left click on the mute lights to mute everything except the track. Also works in the mixer and channel rack.

[@yanisaitabdeslam1601]

The best thing is that the song in the outro has the first beginner loop😂😂😂😂

[@FernieAriel]

Hey Alex I have a request for you for a future video. I've followed many of your chord progression tutorials and I'm at a point where I have a great chord that sounds good, can you do a tutorial on how to build a rolling bassline that will go with it and how to mix it? This is for an uplifting trance project 136-138bpm. Thanks in advance, hope you see my comment. You are appreciated.

[@DevonteRiley]

Just wrote a song in a Dorian key and it led to different musical feels and discoveries. It was a pop dance tune but I can see it in the EDM world as well.

[@UniversalHappiness131]

Beginner drum pattern at the beginning actually sounds like an intro to Avicii banger 😂😂

[@naomisalama430]

Or a David Guetta intro he has bunch of that style drums too tbh

[@AlexarionBeatbox]

5:19 i really don't get what you mean. The begginer beat was not a begginer beat. It was a introductory beat. Later you can add more sounds to that beat in the song like the "pro" one to just make it more alive and let the song have some progression.

[@thomaskreisel5764]

Very helpful video! Im relatively new to music production. Does anyone know where to find free drum kits and samples? Thank you!

I liked the second example, altough I agree that sometimes simplicity is pro too. Now in the first example, I actually feel its more amateur after, lol. It sounds more pro, but also waay too generic for my taste. Anyway good video! This one and the others from the channel.. really learning here from them. Thank you man !

[@myFreeMickey]

recently I watched a video of yours. Tricks for writing better melodies. You explained the concept of cadences And I think you did it in Fruity Loops. Do you know which one it is? I can't seem to find it anymore :( It was a really great video

[@oliverabk1244]

I know there are no rules in music, but somewhere on Yt I saw that it would be better to put the drums in sepcific Busses before a in a whole bus, like all hats in a hat-bus, all snares and so on. And the kick never put in a drum bus, but here I saw another way to handle this. To my 20 % Gang, which way do you take your drums while processing? 😅 (For myself, I learn to produce deep house, in case it is necessary)

[@KaceyBakerFilms]

It's all fluff mate. Grammy hits have been produced with and without buses. It's totally up to you. Make an A and B session and see what results works better for you.

[@shibraj718]

It's only dipend on the perticular song When you say the pattern are creat by noob

[@mikesolo472]

So do I need to purchase all those loops to make a FIRE beat? Cuz to be honest with you, I don't have a ton of fundage at the moment. By the way, good video BRO, keep em comin'

[@matthewrey-official3536]

most DAW's will have loops and one-shots as stock samples. you can make something that sounds great like splice samples out of those, but that's a completely different kind of skillset. samples are just a time-saver; they are not required to make a good beat.

[@Potato-mb1qi]

there are free quality sample packs that you can find on the internet, Cymatics for example

[@undergroundriddimandbassli972]

Video idea suggestion - making different genre beats like that house beat, trap, hip hop

Great video. Whats your headphone?

There is good or bad, it is a matter of taste

Is there a benefit to dragging everything into the drum designer versus just using the audio files? Wouldn’t it be harder to adjust things Like syncopation and velocity with Just audio files?

Yo Alex, do you accept PayPal for your EDM Bootcamp, and is the 6 month payment option available (in PayPal; apparently for certain purchase this option doesn't come up, I'm not sure if its a vendor setting or not)?

Yes for PayPal and no I dont currently do payment plans. However, I’m sure there are ways to self finance.

[@BarbellmusicGYM]

[@marceloribeirosimoes8959]

The so called "beguiner hihat" (claps off) is the exact copy from one of the best house music songs ever, called "Somehow, Someway", from VISUAL, Will Downing on lead vocal. Maybe they should learn a bit more... ;-) But the hole vídeo is so cool. Thanks a lot!!! Great drums sounds and very nice tips.

[@bhaktabilly4669]

Off beat high hats are classic… Nothing wrong with them if it works with the rest of your song

[@marceloribeirosimoes8959]

@@bhaktabilly4669 - That's what I am talking about. Because to classify a simple HH on upbeat like a "newbie" style sounds a lot of nonsense to me... And call a tune or "track", or "beat" "House" with those sawtooth waves like an E.U. dance music, is another nonsense to me... ...and I am NOT saying that the author of this video is wrong. Just saying that, for me, from my point of view, I'm my opinion, house music needs to be grounded on TB-303, TR-808 or TR-909, or TR-707, or something like that and a lot of DX-7 (even DX-100), Juno, Oberheim, Korg Poly-800, style and keep it simple. Chicago Traxx, Hot Mix 5, DJ International, and others that brought a lot from SalSoul, Philadelphia Sound, Prelude, West End, etc. on it. Blasé, That EURO-style so-called "house" doesn't deserve to be called like that. But, who am I to tell what is and what's not.
