Drums First, Questions Later
By theemeraldruby on February 18, 2024 11:56 am
It's the 3rd week of Samples club and I am feeling the strain of working outside of my "box of familiar music tools"
The challenge I set myself for this track was to write the drums first, then everything else. I recorded a bunch of samples to sound design into a drum kit - The bass drum is my footsteps in the hallway, the snare is my cat (Her name is fish) eating the microphone and the high-hat/cymbal is the squeaky knob on my vintage dresser. While I love the "drum kit esq" sounds I achieved, using non-standard kit sounds made it harder for me as a non-drummer/baby producer to find the groove.
Samples used:
Footsteps
Cat eating mic
Squeaky Door knob
Percussion Box
Steel Drum
