project one, drum loop

When i was writing this drum loop, i had some trouble coming up with ideas. I decided on a straight rock beat with 1/8 notes on the high hat snare and kick drum, but i wanted to change it up so i added an open high hat on the and of 3. I used the FPC style kick and snare drum sounds and i also used RD high hat. For the first fill i decided that i wanted some toms in there so i put a building and panning snare drum that leads to a decending tom fill. The next part of the project i had 1/16th notes on the highhat for a fast rock beat with 2 kick drum hits on the 3rd beat. My second fill i used the toms and kick drum to make a bounce back like fill, and i combined the fill 2 with the snare part i used in fill 1 to transition into the end of the song.

  1. i really liked you loop. the drum fill sounds killer, i could tell this would be a great rock song. Your high hat sounds really nice, a real classic rock feel. Your kick sounds perfect for this loop, great job!

  3. This is an really good drum loop. My favorite parts are your fills, especially the first one. The deep tom drums work really well to contrast the metallic sounds of your high hat, and they make the loop itself very interesting. Awesome job!
