Contrasted Drum Patteren



For the first project, the contrast drum loop. i created a easy going piece inspired by New Orleans Blues and African Tribal beats. For the first pattern i used ride for the base beat one every 1st beat, and on the final 4th beat in the 4th measure. I also used a kick and a stick to keep the music flow moving. I repeated this two more times for 4 measures, then created the first drum fill of 2 for this project to use as a transition. Which the base is 16th notes for the first and third measure, and a tom two and third beat of the first and third measure. Then a pedal ever 3rd beat to keep the beat up. The third pattern i used a stick for the base, every 1st beat. This measure is a little faster, in contrast to the slower 2nd pattern. With most of the instruments falling on the same beat. Then I finally ended with one more drum fill, which is the same beat as pattern 3, but ends with a cymbal crash. I found all of my loops in the browse section of FL Studio under the drum packs.

  1. Excellent job. It's very easy to hear the two contrasting patterns and your fill. Wonderful writing.
