Steves Springy Drums for Slacktone tune

• New Topic

Surfocaster Joined: Jan 16, 2010 Posts: 214 Somerset, England	Posted on Mar 05 2013 05:50 AM Hi All I am currently trying to do a drum track for Slacktones PCH. Im using Steves Springy drum loops and Reaper but i just can't find a loop that fits. I have all of the dowwnloads that Steve does but i can't get anything to work. I can get them to sound fine for most other Surfy stuff but this track !! Any ideas anybody? Cheers Nigel Top

Not being a drummer I find it hard to understand what I'm hearing! Are the tunes not what we would call Surf, are they a different beat alltogether? Last edited: Mar 05, 2013 06:29:05 Top

Use the midi GM kit for starters then you'll see the patterns, there's some PCH youtube videos to cross reference and a whole bunch of video tutorials about drum replacement and cutting. I'm no drummer either but i do this fairly easily now, just needs practice and understanding. Find the correct BPM - run the track in your DAW - mark drum hit positions in the midi drum editor/piano roll. Top

It's an open source (ie free!) drum editor - you can transcribe the drum track without using loops. It's pretty easy to use and the drum samples are pretty flexible. http://www.hydrogen-music.org/hcms/ — http://thewaterboarders.bandcamp.com/ Last edited: Mar 05, 2013 09:37:22 Top

What I can hear ( I think ) is a strong accent on all 4 beats in PCH rather than a more typical accented 2 and 4? (Hope I haven't just embarresed myself there) which you get in the Springy drum loops. Am I describing a back beat here? Top
