Crazy how in the span of 3 videos I feel like I've improved more than I have in the last 6 months. Thanks so much for this series, it's helped me a ton already.
Agreed. Really wild. I've been off and on producing hip hop for years and never came across a teacher who broke down building energy so well. Always got stuck in 4 bar drum loops
lol Dude I dunno if you're being serious but I actually hate this show. Because I'm already at the mercy of UA-cam tutorial rabbit hole hell because I'm trying to figure something out, and something tells me this guy probably has the solution to my problem but I have to tolerate him talking to me like I'm a complete idiot for like, 8 minutes. I don't know how people like this show. It legit frustrates me.
@@neoconnor4395 I love this show and if you can’t tell he’s playing a character in his videos and not being condescending at all, I think you should book an appointment with a mental health professional.
This is the second video I've seen from Captain Condescender today and I gotta say I love it not only because he obviously knows his shit but because homey talks to me like I'm an idiot and it's all a part of the show. He's got me cracking up and learning hands on at the same time. TWO THUMBS UP!
Love how even if I know info that you’re discussing, I always learn something. You’ve turned me into a monster. Great job! You are the best at keeping the viewer interested out of every other UA-camr and your music is good! Thank you.
Can we get a series on working with the modes please? Yeah I know, lots of tutorials on this topic already but I'd like to see them from YOU because I think a theme song for Derek and Uncle Joe in Locrian would be neat. Also a tutorial on how to make a vocoder become a class act like in this song ua-cam.com/video/BhB6Lb7_kN8/v-deo.html
This is the drum tutorial that I needed to find a while ago. I have paid for tutorial series that don't cover the drums half as well as this series. Absolutely fantastic, and easy to follow too. Masterful piece of educating, respect!
In case anyone else is curious, I found a work around by going into Drum Machine Designer > Selecting the open high hat sample > Q-Sampler Main > Slice > and Turning on Gate at the bottom.
My thought exactly! It's such a subtle thing, but I find that the most effective producers have the keyboard shortcuts and little idiosyncrasies memorized, and with how many features any DAW has, that's saying something!
I would argue that you can also raise energy merely by moving elements from the weaker beats to the stronger beats. (Maybe that falls under "making an element more active" but by placement, not by quantity.)
You know what would make this sound better? ACOUSTIC drums, you know? Drums that actually sound like drums. There's lots of free VST's out there that do that. Electronic toy "drum" samples sound like shit no matter what you do. Also no round robins or velocity layers.
I just spent way more time than i should have getting lost in these videos. Just subscribed but you deserved it from the first one. Insanely entertaining and educational.
Thanks! You make good educational videos 😁I have seen alle three "You Suck at Drums" several times, and I have surely learned a lot. But ... I need to learn how I make a drum session work with an instrumental recording in Ableton Live 11. I play the guitar, and I like to record popular songs which I organise in several tracks for guitar only. For that I sometimes need a drum track to back the whole thing a little up. Let's say I have a melody, where I have an instrumental intro, and after that I need drums for verse, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, and an outro where the drums stops before the song. How do I set that up in Ableton - so that the drum session starts at the right time, it shifts between verse, chorus and outro at the right time and stops at the right time. If you coukd help me with that I would very much appreciate it 👍
you have nice production tricks but I think you should consider that high "energy" is sometimes best achieved by slowing down / half timing the drums and reducing the number of elements. Half timing drums at the catchiest or loudest section is probably the easiest way to achieve a sense of power and energy
could u please do one on modulation like changing the pitch of certain number of drum sounds like hihats, I don't think there's anyone who would explain it better than you :,
I went back and watched you suck at mixing serious because I’m about to try and put some stuff out and god damn I learned a lot. I’ve only had UA-cam teachers and you’re in if the real ones

This is exactly what I felt
really shows the power of a good teacher
Agreed. Really wild. I've been off and on producing hip hop for years and never came across a teacher who broke down building energy so well. Always got stuck in 4 bar drum loops
Okey... so check it!! Luv this dude
I've just electrocuted my drum set
“You can definitely beat Derek to this”
LOL
poor derek, he deserves it :)
I AM TIRED OF THIS GUY TELLING ME WHAT TO DO. I’M GOING BACK TO THE MINES.

Great comment. Funny stuff.

The single downvote must be Derek
3:30 YOU CAN JUST DO THAT? My life has changed.
same here bro!!
i do this in a different way, instead of using the sample in one shot mode i just put it in classic. i've never noticed this gate/trigger option.
Same! This made my life a lot easier
@@blearmusic lol so true
Shit + Tab as well :)
"swear i wouldnt make lofi again for the rest of my life, but here i am"
I don't know who has it worse... Derek or Uncle Joe
I really hope for some jazz drum programming tutorial, that's the one thing that escapes me every time when I write music
Swing
use 1/8th swing and/or triplets

@Dylan You really don't think there are any free resources online?
Just go tssst tuh duh tsssst tuh duh tsssst til the screeching whale sounds stop 🤷♂️

I'm sickened but curious.
I learn best through Derrick abuse, thank you.
Helpful like my 10 years of psychoanalysis after my father left to buy cigarettes... Thx!
It’s Don José what’s good
Just found this channel, so glad youre still makin vids, bless up yo, you really the man

I suck at commenting too. wowzers!
Wow this video was so family friendly and helpful. I watched all the way to the end, thank You papa
the subtle shortcut callouts are a great bonus
I'm following along in Logic Pro and struggling to "gate" / "choke" the open high hat. Any help would be great!
In case anyone else is curious, I found a work around by going into Drum Machine Designer > Selecting the open high hat sample > Q-Sampler Main > Slice > and Turning on Gate at the bottom.
I really hope you do a jungle drum vid. even though youve done one before
Awesome tutorial, this doubles as a walk through of the daw too lol tell me i suuuuuck more :P
6:27 with the most elite Ableton tip that I would've never figured out

Underbelly I'm a new...
But your fucking awesome brother..
14:16 "Try adding chorus, bass, melody..." lol those images 😂
Great video. Poor Derek though. :(
Tell me about it
So the secret to good midi drums is to have it looking like a game of Tetris?
Is a patreon subscription required for access to the Discord?
it is not
CAME for a tutorial...STAYED cause of the jokes
Thanks Dexter

So disappointed that this video didn't include "Click 'B' - for Bencil"
Thank you so much for this, I'm showing this series to everyone I know. Top quality, 11/10 ❤
thanks you talk so slowly i can undestand it even tho i'm drunk and high
Guitar players are taking note
What I like is the whole "let's try this - oh it sucks. Let's not do this and WHY"
actually made cool drums in the span of 3 videos wtf
Thank you for this. I found it very helpful, and most informative.
Thank you for helping me and everyone else! Always great info
Icing on the cake - rather than frosting - is this a Canadian thing?
what happened to your drum pack with all the breaks?

POOR DEREK
i am beat machine
I was dying watching this! 😂😂
Incredibly cute guy 🥰
spam 4:50 - you're welcome
these crack me up
I'm so happy my name is in your videos
Oo Kay, so jacket.
awesome. thank you
He's back, and strong!!
aaaaaAAAAAAH THANKS SO MUCH
“Lets change up the velocity to get some variation in Derricks abuse”. Dude. Thanks. Youre making me laugh while depressed
Download links right in the comments without a paid promotion? YOU ARE THE REALEST!!
Yes mate. Dead good,
youre fucking funny.
lol "noisekick" XD I`m pretty sure Rudmer would appreciate that kick carries his name

Wowzers I just created four drum clips at different energy levels
Gotta respect a man who still sticks with the push 1! Bros before hos!
Dude I had no idea how much I sucked at drums until I watched for vids. Can't wait to go back on some of my old tracks and fix the drums!
Do most of these tips work on older Ableton versions, like 7? Cos I suck at DAW.
Thanks
Usually you have results like that, when your guitar player makes drums 😂
This is so bueno
