MUSICAL DRUMS 🥁

Here's a way to make your drums sound much more musical 🎵

Find out what key your song is in, then open up an EQ like the Pro Q-3 🎛️

My song is in E minor, so what I have done is pick notes that are in E minor 🎹

Then raise & lower them so that I can tune the drums till it works with the rest of the track 👍🏻

it`s good when the key doesn`t change the whole song. Otherwise automating but it`s exausting. Would be cool to get the midi information and change notes from it

Nah man..if you’re going to do this you gotta tune the physical drums to the song key. If they aren’t tuned to those notes in real life you could be boosting bad frequencies

Personally I load all my drums individually into quick sampler, recording each drum one at a time in notes that suit the key well but I’ll try this too!

I usually throw a tuner on each individual drum or perc and turn the pitch up or down. I'm gonna try this right meow.

As a drummer, this would really get me pissed off if someone else did this to my tracks, I work hard on my sound acoustically. I'd just re-tune for less hassle.
But on those fake drums you hear so often, yeah, that works. I despise the 808 though!

[digitalords]

Is this not the same as equalizing the one shots normally? Or is this done after regular equalization?

[ProfessorMusicVEVO]

Tuning is not transposing the drum notes to the key?

such a good tip. thanks. could you maybe do a video on mixing or mastering mistakes or tips regarding bass house

Every time I record a track and I only use live drummers Nick Buda, who played on all of Taylor Swift‘s records, and Miles McPherson, who is nominated for drummer of the year with Kelly Clarkson, Paramore and too many others to list and Tommy Harden they all played on lots of hit records, but when they are recording tracks with me, if the snare drum has less muting on it, I always have them
tune it to a note in the scale of the key of a song
Nothing worse than a nice melodic song and every backbeat slamming a sharp fifth into the Reverb tank
😂😎

Total dissonance

I usually just pick a kick that the fundamental hits on the 5th of what I’m working in, I’ll definitely try this tho its something I’ve never thought of. Would love to see a short from you on how to get mad width from a sound (like haas effect on a lead where it clears space in the middle) but still keep mono compatibility, love the tips, keep em coming 💯

[audioglenngineer]

My mentor was an old jazz guy - he used to sit and do math in his head to figure out the intervals in the song, then tuning the drums to fit. It was always very tasty sounding!

"raise the and lower them"? 🤔

[kensurrency]

just tune the acoustic drums to the key of the song. it’s not hard.

[datapusher-]

This is hogwash... smh!!! find quality sounds that fit your song, and stop using drum sounds that dont work!
