Help! My Drum Parts are Boring! How Do I Fix It?

Are the drum parts in your arrangements "too static," "on autopilot," or "super basic?"

The Sages are here to fill in the gaps!

Join @paradiddlesjosh for a live workshop on drum part writing  - what it entails AND how to program! This 3-4 hour event will consist of

  • a primer on notation (sheet music and piano roll via the General MIDI map)
  • balancing repetition with variety (through dynamics, articulation, and the application of patterns and fills)
  • a discussion of "feel" and the creation of "grooves"
  • a practical demonstration of the terminology in action, writing new drum parts for a well-known VGM track

Everything will be demonstrated with free tools (where possible) and some of the more prominent tools in the community. VST instruments, MIDI files, and links to further learning will be made available to EVERYONE at the end of the webinar; please see the VOD description for links!
