Hey Alex, just started your boot camp a week ago. I wanted to say thank you for making things so easy to understand and explaining topics in the level of detail that you do. I thought I would be overwhelmed at first jumping into it, but you've made it very easy to learn and retain everything you teach. Looking forward to the rest!

hey guys, as im watching this through I just noticed I completely forgot to add the recording of me making the drums. sorry about that. the drums were a simple pattern using a kick, snare, and a hihat.I also had two cymbals on the front of the drop to make it sound nice. the full playthrough is at the end of the vid.

#1: Creation tension on the build up (and pitch bending, chords that are in tenson)
#2: Drop you create release on the chords,

Learn music theory, what tension and release is, tension is outside the chord that is being played, and relase is playing in it.
