Drums/percussion is something I have been struggling with a lot. I will study these patterns with much interest. Great to have those to learn to understand the use of percussion!

I'll admit that laying down percussion is my favourite part of the composing process - maybe something to do with the fact I'm also a drummer 😀 Thanks for watching!

Brilliant thank you.. So helpful!

Great to see percussion notated, thank you.

Agree.. I work only on notation app so it great to see the score and not only the midi :)

Thank you so much, this also helps me learn the structures that help create such epic patterns and i can come up with new ones myself even! Really really nice percussion patterns...

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for making these videos.

Syncopation is so important for these kinds of rythms. As someone with a rock/metal background, I wasn't really used to this and as a result my epic rythms always sounded boring. Great video.

It is very helpful to have your explanations on which drums were used and what part they play in the rhythm. I have always struggled with trying to determine which percussion unit to use for the desired effect. Great job. Subscribing and will follow. Thanks

Many thanks for this post. Very revealing for me as a beginner in the rhythm of epic music. How would one proceed in principle with other time signatures?

👏👏👏

I know this is an old video, it would be nice to see the same video with you, showing what type of processing used on the different drums. The sound is clean with no muddiness. I'm constantly fighting that with my layering.

I am looking to do another percussion video in the New Year as there is so much more to cover, so look out for that! Thanks for watching!

There is very fluid rythm that I totally love. In Mr. Hollands Opus it is used in the end of the movie in his simphony. Do you have one like that?

Very nice! I don't think I have found a good percussion library yet. Which one do you use for your percussion loops?

Hey Simon! I've been using your pattern 7 for my last track, have a look :D

Apologies for the delay- I've just checked out the track - good work with the percussion!

Favourite was 1st

sir if you play surdos and takos sound separately then much useful for us. Play all percussion separately then paly together. Because we are beginner it's hard to understand jombo sound.

More great stuff! Do you have a Patreon page?

Such a great video! Are you using Cubase's notation editor, or something different. The time signatures are clear and the rhythm staves are super clean. Could you please share? Thanks.

Hi Kjordahn, many thanks for the question and apologies for the delayed reply! No I try to stay away from Cubase's notation editor as much as possible (!).and use Finale instead!

What library or set of instruments i could add to kontakt for example (The epic dhol, timpani, surdos etc.)

Which library did you use?

For pattern 7, what perc library is that tam tam w/ metal beater sample from?

Great video - what are libraries you are using?

This is amazing, do you have any idea how long I've been trying to find the exact guideline you did here? Years. If possible, please do more of this series with 6/8 6/4 5/4 5/8 10/8 11/8. Would you please teach me how to do very hype building transitions and bridges? Thankyou.

Sir what is this software ?

Interesting. Percussion is a tricky one for me, not in terms of producing but judging the correct application without sounding gratuitous. Back in the day when everything seemed to be all about East West I heard so much 'action' music that falls right into that cliched 'biff, bang, bop' routine of programmed loops, brass blasting, and 'chugging' staccato strings with a few bits and pieces thrown in along the way to add a bit of variety. I feel that initial novelty has now worn off in more recent times with the sampling industry and their customers becoming a little more sophisticated. That's a good thing :).

Sorry about that - I've made a note to revisit this with triplets or a 6/8 rhythm in the future. It might be worth trying to adapt of the 7/8 rhythms?
