Creating a drum part can be the first step in creating a piece of music or arranging a melody. The drums set the beat and guide the entire track. This is the foundation of music, and making it is not easy. There are several software tools available to help you create your drum part.
Instructions
Step 1
Select the elements and rhythms you want to include in the drum part. In special computer programs, you can compose music, selecting instruments and rhythms to create your own theme. Please note that they must match the style of the piece.
Step 2
Determine the main rhythm and decide to which track, that is, the element, to attribute it to. Multiple tracks can be selected. The basic rhythm does not have to be present throughout the entire part. You yourself can set the areas in which he should lead, and even set a certain percentage of the dominance of the main rhythm.
Step 3
Incorporate an original element into the part, that is, a theme in which different elements sound at different pitches. These elements are dynamically mixed and the rhythm is combined. Such a unique theme will be the highlight of your drum part.
Step 4
Combine the main rhythm and the original theme. At the same time, be careful and make sure that the harmony is not disturbed. Despite its uniqueness, the party should be perceived as a whole.
Step 5
Add the necessary accents by changing the sensitivity in some areas. There are certain patterns by which you can set the sensitivity. With their use, your drum part will become more interesting and musical.
Step 6
Listen to the result of your work. Now you have a goal: to understand where and which notes need to be shifted a little. Experiment with the batch. Adjust drum balance and volume. Play with dynamism. Let the instruments sound stronger somewhere. Then on this site the music will be more expressive.
Step 7
Run the whole part again after adjusting and consider how natural it sounds. For a more realistic drum part, do not mix sounds that cannot be played together in real life. When adjusting the sound volume, keep in mind that frequent beats can only be quiet, because the drummer will not have time to raise his hand high between them. If the volume of the instruments is higher than the maximum possible in reality, the drum part will be awkward.
