Dance Music Production DMP Vol 5: Fundamental 1: Drums TUTORiAL [ENG]

Fundamental – the fifth DVD from Dance Music Production – is a tutorial dedicated to the ‘fundamental’ production techniques that all producers should be fully versed in.

In this first edition of the fundamental series, and one of our best selling tutorials, this DVD discusses the most vital element behind all types of dance music: groove.

Over 3 hours of video tutorials focus on the crucial aspects behind the production, programming, building and engineering professional sounding drum rhythms. The DVD begins with step-by-step tutorials on synthesizing a number of different drums timbres, alongside editing, tuning and layering to produce the perfect timbres. If you thought it was as simple as choosing a few samples…think again.

The tutorials then move onto the different techniques involved in programming professional dance rhythms using a number of genres (House and Trance, Chill Out, Progressive House, Tech House and Techno) as examples, revealing the various techniques involved in keeping them sounding fresh, how and where to use dissonance and projection, alongside the use of effects and processors to create that professional sound that your entire track depends upon. And all in the same, complete, in-depth style you’ve come to expect from the Dance Music Productions DVD series.
