Break buildup drop = verse prechorus chorus

Break = Verse Drop = Chorus Buildup = Pre-Chorus

@RaveyDavey

I think a drop is a bit different to the chorus as in that it is specifically the exactly moment that the chorus starts after a significant foreshadowing/build-up. The whole section after that is the chorus.

This was very helpful I was looking for this all over the youtube and in the end I found it here, Thanks for making this video.

This was good, I appreciate pointing out the details on the hi hat coming in 2nd half of drop as well as counter melodies on final repeat of 2nd drop. However I have to disagree with your decision to make your first drop as long as it was. It should have been half the length you had it. As you can see in Garrix's song his first drop is full length and his second drop is 1.5x length. I think to maintain pacing you have to be careful to introduce the 2nd verse/break as quickly as you can and don't hold the listener hostage in a song section that's too long too early.

i didnt know that break == verse, lol :D hahaha

@charlessmith263

4 жыл бұрын

The mantra here is this - the "break" is the least-danceable part of an EDM song, and the "drop" is the most-danceable part. EDM fanatics love the loudest parts because it is there they can dance their hearts and bodies out - so they wait for the "drops" to let it all loose, and use the "breaks" as breathers from their hard dancing after the "drops" - and they let themselves loose again when the "drops" recommence.

I am currently trying to write my own EDM book. Learning from what you told me about EDM structure, like the breaks, drops, and risers, I made my own schema on a 1995 EDM hit that comes from house music. Like "The Animals", obviously you cannot release the video's audio because you do not want to end up being copyright-struck on KZread, so here is my idea on the structure - This song is "Push The Feeling On" by Nightcrawlers. The numbers on the left indicate bar numbers for the song. INTRO AND FIRST DROP 1-4 - drums only 5-20 - FIRST DROP (everything comes in but no vocals yet) BREAK 21-24 - Verse 1 (break); vocals finally come in as drums drop out SECOND DROP 25-32 - Continuation of Verse 1 as drums come in with vocals 33-40 - Continuation of Verse 1 as before 41-48 - Voice drops out and sax comes in 49-56 - synth plays, sax track drops out 57-64 - voice comes back as before; Verse 2, with bass, synth and drums added 2ND BREAK 65-80 - new material as the vocals continue FALSE THIRD DROP 81-84 - this drop is varied in note structure, unlike the first or second drops TRUE THIRD DROP 85-88 - voice comes in as well as everything 89-92 - continuation of drop as voice drops out and sax and drums plays 93-100 - continuation of drop as sax plays and drums drop out 101-104 - Drums only FOURTH DROP 105-112 - voice does not sing yet here 113-120 - voice comes in as well as the other instrumental tracks 121-136 - Almost the same as mm. 113-120 137-148 - Voice drops out, both synths (lead and backing) play 149-152 - No drums except the hi-hat is played, synths plays, 153-156 - Drums come in here 157-162 - Drums and vocal loop FIFTH DROP 163-170 - True drop begins 171-174 - Almost as before…… OUTRO 175-198 - Looping beats continue as before, with fragments of the drop theme, and in the last measures, they all fade out.

It is a shock that this known EDM hit has virtually no obvious buildups or "risers". But I still like this EDM song anyway.

"From Here To Eternity" of Giorgio Moroder - the early EDM king himself - has risers or buildups but they are only slight. And there are no obvious gaps after the risers. Still this 1977 song is still effective and very danceable.

@@DexxterClarkMusic You are right. Definitely right! Started with guitar amps in the 1960s or so, then the Moogs in the 1970s, then the disco explosion, then the TR-808 and TR-909 and Linn Drum Machines and sampler machines in the 1970s/1980s. Nowadays, Pioneer DJ and Traktor are the newest kinds of devices for EDM events - digitized contraptions of the old-school vinyl 2-by-2s used by 1970s and 1980s hip-hop DJs. The "Amen Break" from the 1960s enhanced all of these EDM happenings later on, and house and techno exploded in the 1980s and 1990s.

Very good video, even for experienced producers like myself, it's good to get it refreshed. But i gotta say that you threw me off by mentioning the subscribe again short after the intro.
