Another tip: never place your hi hats right under your kick. Put it slightly after or before the kick. So the kick comes more forward. It also creates more bounce to your beats 😉
I watch this kind of stuff ALL DAY, everyday, and only found your channel just a few minutes ago. This is rich stuff for noobs AND veterans. Gonna go check more of your stuff out as soon as this puppy is finished. Great work bro.
Definitely agree on the randomizer - less is more there. I typically put like a 3-8% randomness on velocity and manually set the groove to help make loops sound a lot less static, almost adds a bit of a "round robin" effect. Subtle variation does a lot to alleviate ear fatigue. Sometimes a super subtle randomized pitch shift goes a long way too.
awesome guidance. I made a quick track and thought "man i don't wanna touch percussion, it's difficult and stressful." but barely even a third into the "Beginner" section of the vid I paused it, went back to my track, effortlessly came up with and applied some percussion to my track, and i love it so much more. Thanks!
Thank you so much for adding the controls to things you do in FL. That alone separates you from over half the other beat making channels. You're one of the best imo.
@@NavieD I had fun fixing up an old beat and trying to use what I know now to try and improve it. I had went back to an unfinished beat from my 1st 6 months of beat making. Now i'm trying to fix a lot of older beats
Love the level of knowledge you deliver every single time..for next time,i want you to throw a video on 808s How to use 808 effectively based on beats and genre..LOVE YOUR CONTENT
One thing I learned back in the FL 3x days is using a Layer channel to group all the drum samples I want to use (in the setting panel, change the grouping to split children), then that way I can control all the drum samples from one piano roll. Saves time for the majority of stuff I'm doing. If I'm editing individual parameters of different samples, I just select the key that sample falls on, then make my edits
Solid tips without excess hype or self-promotion, well done. Might I add- it never hurts to learn to "play" whatever drums you're using (just be sure you've got a low-latency setup and at least velocity); I started with a Korg M1 and an early Mac DAW called Vision, which let me practice playing the drumkits along with whatever, then seeing on the MIDI track what the timing differences were between quantized and, say, a Purdie shuffle.😉
Much love and Respect for you bro. You're the REAL ONE on TH-cam. Can't wait to showcase you my work in future and whatever comes, just know you're the no #1 reason for it. I already gave up on music till your channel popped up in my feed a few months ago. Very grateful for your videos.
This is very practical approach, I used to think I'm a drum mastermind. But after watching this I realize, I'm still a beginner😂. Heartbreaking but needed it, as an eye opener, to GROW... Thanks🔥🔥🔥
One great tool is using your own natural rhythm and playing out the pattern on your pads, you get pretty good variation with velocity , etc . I can’t stand to click in notes , just my personal preference but I also play the drums .
as someone who has alot of stuff down in FL studios but long time struggles with beats and see's good drums as essential make or break to a track this advice here is gold
Thanks for sharing! Definitely some great tips in there. I'm excited to experiment with some of the techniques in this video to spice up my drum patterns. Keep up the grind 💪💪
When I was starting out production, I made stuff that sounded like the "expert" drums, but that's just because I was overdoing it and didn't know when to stop lol.
Sorry, I’m a little late to this party. Just stumbled across this clip tonight. The best piece of advice here, and it is so often overlooked due to the randomizers and generators out there, is to get manual with it. Build it. Create it. Experiment with it. Put your style on to it. And if you are a beginner just dipping your toes into this pool, THIS is how you develop your style. Break the ice. Take a chance. Be willing to make a mistake. Finding out what doesn’t work is just as important as knowing what does. There is great information in this clip on how to do it, and what comes with each level of progression. You can control the what, the where, and the when, as long as you’re willing to try. Compositions are way better when you use your own beat loops. And when you make your own, with all the tools these modern programs come with, not only will your beats be more satisfying to you, you’ll be that much more savvy when it comes to producing all the other elements of your jam. Get manual with it. It’s worth it.
Yeaaah ! I'm just experimenting with some rare drums patterns with Voodoo percs and industrial sounds and this its gonna help me a lot , maaan the timming it's just amazing...
Hey, I paused in the middle of this video, to THANK YOU for making a video about drum beats IN FL Studio. It's REALLY HARD to find anyone that is willing to make videos using this software as it's my primary DAW. Appreciate it!
Add to the PRO section: Build you own samples using down sampling on a piece of hardware and the get that back into yout computer. It doesn't need to be a SP1200 - a SU200 is enough. It really does wonders. Really pro stuff is to sampling that again - sampling your own stuff in the end. Have fun!
So far I think he has a great understanding how to make the beats sound human while using modern tools to speed up the process. Going to use some of this stuff in my projects
Another tip: never place your hi hats right under your kick. Put it slightly after or before the kick. So the kick comes more forward. It also creates more bounce to your beats 😉
Never thought about that, it lifted a whole new spectrum.
@@rickard.eriksson yup, just that little change will make a big difference. It gives more life to your beat
What genre does this apply to?
Best skill in producing
@rickarderiksson4103 it makes more human

Ayy welcome aboard Chris! Happy you discovered me my friend
One of the few music production youtubers who explain everything in a clear and concise manner.
A big thank you for always providing invaluable knowledge Navie!
Thank you Z-Boss! I am happy that my vids are helping
@@NavieDthey sure are!

I dig that, Tyler
Bro, where were you 14yrs ago when I started learning music. This is by FAR the best channel for learning. Thank you so much

I’ve gone through so many vids to understand drums & drum patterns as a whole n I gotta say man, you definitely won the race for me💪
Hahah glad I can help dude
Thank you so much for adding the controls to things you do in FL. That alone separates you from over half the other beat making channels. You're one of the best imo.
Navie never misses with the knowledge. I’ve learned so much from him and his community over the past year and a half!
KODB! I am excited to hear your submission for this assignment
@@NavieD I had fun fixing up an old beat and trying to use what I know now to try and improve it. I had went back to an unfinished beat from my 1st 6 months of beat making. Now i'm trying to fix a lot of older beats
I’m cooler than you. RAT.🐀
Dude this was super fire. I've seen thousands of drum tutorials. But for some reason something just clicked with this one. Thank you for this.
Awesome man! That makes me happy to hear

That 3rd level drum pattern is wild. I'll have to try that one day.
i was thinking that too bro the triangles😂😭

Oftentimes, I find being a bit more simple and deliberate is more effective than being a wild buckaroo with your drum patterns
This was still very basic
I love your tutorials. They are step by step and very helpful.
So detailed! I always pick up new tips watching your vids ✊🏾
Thank you so much
Thank YOU my friend
That last song sounded like something you'd hear in a jungle/swamp level in a video game, absolutely loved it!

I really love your teachings sir you really teach well. You are the only person that makes me understand FL studio sir thanks very much ❤️

the last one was sketchy at first but with the instruments it sounded like something out of a indie game like a roguelike, very cool!
Thank you, great video 📹 👍
O.O. thank you my friend!

When I was starting out production, I made stuff that sounded like the "expert" drums, but that's just because I was overdoing it and didn't know when to stop lol.
I am very glad you mentioned the double time. I remember I was so dang confused on that when i first started composing.
He is Really A Good Teacher..

Dude, your videos are dope. Hella helpful.
I find that usually when songs have crazy drums, the other instruments are basic and vice versa
looking jacked
fantastic tutorial, thanks
So far I think he has a great understanding how to make the beats sound human while using modern tools to speed up the process. Going to use some of this stuff in my projects
Dude you just helped me so much I mean so much.
