18\/3\/24 I was going to research how drums work in Funk and Techno so I can actually add a half decent beat to my song but I’ve come to college without a charger and my laptop is quite literally at 10%. It will die very soon so I have to get whatever I can documented before the laptop bites the dust for the rest of the day, and as I go looking for a charger. If I cannot get the laptop charged by the time I come home I will do this research temporarily at home and then continue the next day, Tuesday (tomorrow). I will research the below links in the bibliography – and now that I have charged my laptop I can begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It seems that in both genres they like to make use of hi-hats alot, especially open hi-hats which break the repeated nature of just hitting the specific cymbal a ton of times. For Funk especially, it drives the song and hi-hats are included in the most famous drum grooves which mostly everyone knows of. I am attempting to make a simple 4 bar pattern but at the moment it is unlikely that I am going to get anywhere the first time, so I’ll keep trying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To incorporate the different BPMs of each style that typically range from slow to fast I will begin the drums slow and then eventually switch to a pattern that speeds up the hi-hats for the chorus or a double time breakdown, which is going smoothly for me. They blend in well too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After looking at the second link in the bibliography it seems that playing with the velocity of the notes gets a more intricate rhythm, and trying to play minimal at the start so you can build<\/strong> a groove overtime is helpful. I should implement this next time I’m in college, and play around with a fade in sound effect since techno drums like to make use of that alot – will update on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BIBLIOGRAPHY: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Toews, B.
