Producing Drum Beats - Writing & Mixing Killer Drum Grooves

Whether you're into hip-hop, urban, rock, alternative, dance, electronic, jazz, blues, or country, drums play a prominent roll in the production and arrangement of a song. This book will help to explain everything you'll need to know to produce your own killer beats, from describing individual drums and how they are most commonly played, to MIDI drum sequencing tricks used by the pros, and the proper use of compression, EQ, and group effects when mixing drums.
Over time and with steady practice, you'll be able to make these drum production techniques your own, taking your song production skills to the next level while at the same time becoming a master beat-maker.

You will learn to:
• Understand the different components of a contemporary drumbeat, including drums, cymbals, percussion, plus electronic samples and loops
• Create drum beats using different types of MIDI controllers and techniques, including real-time and programmed beats
• Use techniques in popular audio and MIDI sequencing software such as Pro Tools, Logic, and Reason
• Think like a drummer, making your beats work well with the rest of the groove and song form, and using drum fills effectively.
• Mix your beat using time tested EQ, compression, and parallel effects techniques
