    Don' take the "Dork" part seriously! That's just tough love. Also: Hans's Percussive tone definitely evolved and changed throughout the various films he scored. This example specifically is from Pirates of the Caribbean, but if it gets enough attention I might do a part 2 with another score from the man.

    Over the past few days, I struggled to write a good percussion line. It felt lifeless, dull and synthetic. I thought, maybe Alex has a tutorial on percussion, then I watched this video. Today, I rewrote all my percussion following what you said and the improvement is massive! I'm amazed that such simple tricks can make an enormous difference like that. So I just want to say thank you for making this video and for sharing this gold-rated knowledge :D !
