Another tip: never place your hi hats right under your kick. Put it slightly after or before the kick. So the kick comes more forward. It also creates more bounce to your beats 😉
I watch this kind of stuff ALL DAY, everyday, and only found your channel just a few minutes ago. This is rich stuff for noobs AND veterans. Gonna go check more of your stuff out as soon as this puppy is finished. Great work bro.
Thank you so much for adding the controls to things you do in FL. That alone separates you from over half the other beat making channels. You're one of the best imo.
Definitely agree on the randomizer - less is more there. I typically put like a 3-8% randomness on velocity and manually set the groove to help make loops sound a lot less static, almost adds a bit of a "round robin" effect. Subtle variation does a lot to alleviate ear fatigue. Sometimes a super subtle randomized pitch shift goes a long way too.
Thanks for sharing! Definitely some great tips in there. I'm excited to experiment with some of the techniques in this video to spice up my drum patterns. Keep up the grind 💪💪
Love the level of knowledge you deliver every single time..for next time,i want you to throw a video on 808s How to use 808 effectively based on beats and genre..LOVE YOUR CONTENT
awesome guidance. I made a quick track and thought "man i don't wanna touch percussion, it's difficult and stressful." but barely even a third into the "Beginner" section of the vid I paused it, went back to my track, effortlessly came up with and applied some percussion to my track, and i love it so much more. Thanks!
as someone who has alot of stuff down in FL studios but long time struggles with beats and see's good drums as essential make or break to a track this advice here is gold
Much love and Respect for you bro. You're the REAL ONE on UA-cam. Can't wait to showcase you my work in future and whatever comes, just know you're the no #1 reason for it. I already gave up on music till your channel popped up in my feed a few months ago. Very grateful for your videos.
Solid tips without excess hype or self-promotion, well done. Might I add- it never hurts to learn to "play" whatever drums you're using (just be sure you've got a low-latency setup and at least velocity); I started with a Korg M1 and an early Mac DAW called Vision, which let me practice playing the drumkits along with whatever, then seeing on the MIDI track what the timing differences were between quantized and, say, a Purdie shuffle.😉
@@NavieD I had fun fixing up an old beat and trying to use what I know now to try and improve it. I had went back to an unfinished beat from my 1st 6 months of beat making. Now i'm trying to fix a lot of older beats
One thing I learned back in the FL 3x days is using a Layer channel to group all the drum samples I want to use (in the setting panel, change the grouping to split children), then that way I can control all the drum samples from one piano roll. Saves time for the majority of stuff I'm doing. If I'm editing individual parameters of different samples, I just select the key that sample falls on, then make my edits
One great tool is using your own natural rhythm and playing out the pattern on your pads, you get pretty good variation with velocity , etc . I can’t stand to click in notes , just my personal preference but I also play the drums .
So far I think he has a great understanding how to make the beats sound human while using modern tools to speed up the process. Going to use some of this stuff in my projects
Yeaaah ! I'm just experimenting with some rare drums patterns with Voodoo percs and industrial sounds and this its gonna help me a lot , maaan the timming it's just amazing...
This is very practical approach, I used to think I'm a drum mastermind. But after watching this I realize, I'm still a beginner😂. Heartbreaking but needed it, as an eye opener, to GROW... Thanks🔥🔥🔥

Never thought about that, it lifted a whole new spectrum.
@@rickard.eriksson yup, just that little change will make a big difference. It gives more life to your beat
What genre does this apply to?
Best skill in producing
@rickarderiksson4103 it makes more human

Thank you Z-Boss! I am happy that my vids are helping

One great tool is using your own natural rhythm and playing out the pattern on your pads, you get pretty good variation with velocity , etc . I can’t stand to click in notes , just my personal preference but I also play the drums .
This is very resourceful. Thanks Navie D

O.O. thank you my friend!
Dude you just helped me so much I mean so much.
That 3rd level drum pattern is wild. I'll have to try that one day.
i was thinking that too bro the triangles😂😭
Thank you 🙏🏼
This is very practical approach, I used to think I'm a drum mastermind. But after watching this I realize, I'm still a beginner😂. Heartbreaking but needed it, as an eye opener, to GROW... Thanks🔥🔥🔥
Oftentimes, I find being a bit more simple and deliberate is more effective than being a wild buckaroo with your drum patterns
This was still very basic
you can also make the velocity with the lfo tool in piano roll, at least when it's a steady pattern like the one shown
DUDE IVE BEEN WATCHING SOMEB OF YOUR STARTER VIDEOS AND JUST NOTICED YOU DID THE UNDERGROUND AIRPLAY BEAT THAT WAS A DOPE BEAT BRO FIRE😬
