In response to a recent email string discussing the making of drum sounds, I decided to make a bunch of un-effected, un-eq’d, isolated drum files for us to play around with. Here is the challenge:
1. Take these tracks and convert into something more interesting.
2. Report back here with your refurbishments and let us know how you did it.
3. Discuss.
That’s it! This is really open ended, so there’s no need to create anything finished sounding. Little riffs are just as good as a full song.
bass drum
snare drum
floor tom
crash cymbal
ride cymbal
fills
mallets
