Another way I love to experiment with is using different software instruments made to create drum loops.

You can put together different techniques, sample packs and loops are just one way. 3 – Tools that helpĪs you already know, there is not just one way of making drum grooves in your minimal house tracks. Just dig a little bit more and you’ll find the right loop to sample. You can work with EQ’s trying to get rid of specific sound in specific frequency ranges, but this doesn’t always work. Sometimes they have elements you don’t want, or that you’d like to take away in some sections of the track. The only drawback of working with sampled stuff (but the same applied to loops) is that you can’t break them up in the different elements they are made of. But try different levels and see what you like most. I usually keep those kind of loops at a pretty low level in the mix, so you can feel them but they are not too upfront.

they sound a little bit lo-fi, especially if sampled from a vinyl record.

they often carry background noises and imperfections that give extra texture to your track.

Especially acoustic drums, since they are played by human beings.

they carry a groove/swing that make everything sound more organic.

This is a great way of glueing together the other elements of your drums for many reasons:

2 – SamplingĪnother technique that I use for my drums is sampling loops from old records, both acoustic drums from jazz, blues, soft rock tracks or drum machines loops from 90’s house records. Try this technique yourself and let me know your thoughts. This means I start to listen what is right in the center and then move my attention on the sides. The way I do this kind of analysis is scanning through the frequency spectrum, from higher frequencies towards the lower ones and identifying all the different sounds and drums pieces.

This may take time but, in return, you will learn how to make loops and also have your own original ones. You will realize how many elements you need to achieve the same sound and you will progressively refine your ears, so that you will be able to recognize and break down all the elements those loops are made of. Next time, instead of simply importing those loops in your track, try to reproduce them. Have you ever wondered why your drums look so empty compared to those you hear on a Sunrise Hub podcast for example? Or compared to the loops you find in some sample packs? I already talked about the educational value of analyzing and “copying” your favorite tracks in my post about how to overcome writer’s block. One pivotal moment for me was when I started doing analytical listening of my favorite artist’s tracks and of the best loops from sample packs I bought. Here on this blog post I will add some more tips to complement those already discussed on the channel. I highly recommend you to watch those videos.

I already addressed some of these things on my You Tube channel, where you can find videos on how to use grooves and swings, how to make an organic micro house drum loop, how to build a minimal house drum loop from scratch. There are a lot of things I could talk about, when speaking of drums. With that I mean that they need to feel natural, groovy, not too simple, not too complex. They form the core of a house track and so they need to work. In this post I’ll share 5 tips that will hopefully help you sequencing your minimal house drums and building original grooves.ĭrums (and bassline) are the element where I spend most of the time, when making a new track.
