    Out of two dozen or so popular drum design tuts I’ve seen, I like this one the best.
    As far as ideas go, I was super impressed with Virtual Riot’s snare tutorial with Serum. Since the envelopes are tempo sync’d he was able to lengthen or shorten the snare based on the bpm. Check it out if you haven’t seen it.
