- How I created the drum sound that relentlessly drive the film Mad Max Fury Road. I talk about the kind of drums I used and show you how I program them. I show you the customized Native Instruments Kontakt sampler we created and talk about velocity, higher and lower octaves and a bunch of other drum related topics.

"Sounds pretty good to me...
... but we are not done yet."
ADDS MORE DRUMS
(repeat that endlessly)
After I watched the video and read your comment, it made me laugh :D
Charles Xaviers school for musicians.
What a soundtrack.....what a lovely soundtrack!!!
IF I'M GOING TO DIE, I'M GOING TO DIE LISTENING TO THE FURY ROAD SOUNDTRACK. I LIVE! I DIE! I LIVE AGAIN!
* sprays mouth with chrome *
WITNESS ME.
Hari Jeevakumar WITNESSED!
***** * prays the V8 *
Hari Jeevakumar I listen to the soundtrack in my car when I drive on the interstate... and it motivates me to stay awake
+neckisstiff same here
The thing around 5:40 with the velocities mapped to keys is really interesting. I've never realised before what a pain it is to edit note velocities. Maybe drum samplers and sequencers should offer a view like this.
Andy Brice Never seen that before. Brilliant!
+Andy Brice weeeell, cubase allows you to do the same thing with velocity values essentially, just box select all notes and then grab the top of the velocity box and you can move them while still keeping the internal structure. since he mentioned 120 samples, and velocity having 127 values, he could still fit all of them into the velocity. i don't really see the reason for doing this, unless you for some reason feel that you respond more creatively to this layout, or if you at some point want to add more layers than the 127 for velocity, you could have 127*amount of midi notes, but that's just extreme overkill.
well akai MPC samplers do that since forever.. but ofcourse not multisamples like here
Hey guys! Here's a simple script for playing the same way:

Performance Samples and Audio Ollie did this with LA Modern Percussion. I wonder if they were inspired by Tom?
Thanks for you amazing fan-service
This drum technique makes so much sense. To just change velocity on a single sample makes it louder or softer, but it doesn't change the tonality or the ambience of the sound. Even with velocity switching, you can't get such a wide variation while maintaining precision. But by mapping so many individually recorded samples across the keyboard, the MIIDI velocity can be kept static, while the variations in sound truly mimic a real drummer on a real drum. @junkiexlofficial, I tip my hat to you.
in a sea of useless youtube tutorials, we actually learn something here: there are people that "actually" produce music, and put time & thought into it. Junkie XL is my Darth Vader. His work is monumental. Screw sloppy MIDI velocity editing, Tom is a BEAST.
I LOOOVE moviescores, but MadMax was a gamechanger.
Tom! congratulation. no words... cant wait for MadMaxV
definitely using that velocity trick in the future. shits brilliant.
But how do I do it in ableton ?!? 🤯🤯🤯
I produced dance music around 2000 for a few labels and I remember hearing your drums then and was very impressed! Thanks for the video.
That was very cool Tom. In all the years of drum programming on logic. I never considered using different notes for different velocities.
That's why you get the big gigs man. Very very careful attention to detail. Love it. Thanks for showing me this
I love the bassdrums you've programmed!! Thanks for the tips!!!
UNREAL...YOU BLOW MY MIND...GREAT SOUNDS...VERY TECHNICAL...YOU ARE 1 OF A KIND...I WISH YOU MUCH THE BEST!!!LOVE ALL OF IT!!!BEAT IT DOWN!!!
I nearly had a heart attack when the 8-piece version kicked in.. And then it got even more awesome! Amazing work
22:27>Neighbors go see Mad Max
"This movie sounds like our German neighbor's drums!"
Junkie XL is Dutch, not German.
***** That's the joke.
@@oscarsunkiss2616 Did u mean Hans Zimmer? Cause he's German and a good friend of JXL.
The way you've mapped the dynamics of your samples across the keyboard is B R I L L I A N T ! ! ! !
Amazing idea with the way drums scale with keys and not velocity, very practical.
Fury Road Soundtrack is so shiny, so chrome.
Awesome videos Tom, thanks for taking the time to make these things.
One of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. Soon as I saw this movie in the theatres, I went out and bought your soundtrack. Listen to it whenever I need an energy boost. Great job!
WITNESS TOM!!
Never thought of programming velocity by key range rather than pressure. So simple, yet so effective! Thank you for this!
Freaking amazing stuff Tom. It answers so many questions and your service to future composers is beyond words. Thank you!
Great stuff bro!! Mad Max Drum library please!! Take out money now! lol!
This is absolutely fantastic. Thank you for taking the time to share your workflow with us! These tips/tricks are indispensable. I learn something new in every video. Very much looking forward to your next installment!
Great toms, Tom
Incredible samples. The low turned high volume samples sound amazing.
Absolutely massive drums! Love the key-mapping of dynamics, really cool idea!
More, please. You are the best, Tom.
Master! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and tips with us🙏🏻
Great to follow the steps how you made this excellent score! Thanks Tom.
Thank you so much for this series of videos, truly inspiring stuff
Great tutorial! Thanks for posting. The entire soundtrack is amazing. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for sharing your considerable expertise in this series. Dank je!
Love the idea of the velocity been played up the scale. Interesting idea that works really well for this kind of creativity.
Brilliant Tom. This is surely the most informative and useful music production video I've seen on YT thx for sharing. Sounded so good
Wow. Incredible that you made these, Tom.
Thoroughly inspired! Thanks for sharing your workflow. Just the push I needed for my own compositions. I saw your post on FB saying this series is coming back! Look forward to it
Jesse Rankins hows your compositions coming my dude?
Superb and to the point! Thank you, Tom!
Fantastic! thanks for sharing Sr Tom
Amazing sound libraries! Thanks for sharing.
I know this is a 6y/o video, but I really enjoyed it, and I've been doing a similar thing using the MIDI offset instead of the quantize!
Great way of doing percussive drums that need to sound natural. Game changer for me!! Dankjewel.
That's brilliant. Well done.
Great Video!
Cant wait for your next project/film!
Thank you for taking some time - out of your probably very busy schedule - to make these videos, you're really helping! Groeten uit België
Thank you so much. Awesome awesome channel, Tom. Cheers from Madrid!
Thank you so much for making these videos Junkie! Its a dream come true to actually watch the process of a real pro working on major blockbuster films. Cant wait to see what you make for batman in the future. Maybe Hans can join you for that episode lol
Wow! Thanks for these videos. Very enjoyable.
Thank you very much for sharing the technique around binding volume to notes rather than velocity. That's a really interesting and very efficient way of creating.
Great stuff, Tom, proud to have a dutch composer working on the big movies and showing how it is done.
Thank you! So inspiring and helpful.
That was amazing!
The drums in this score are the most earthshaking things I’ve ever heard
Dig your vids....this one is a cool vid and all, but it'd be WAYYYYYY cooler if you were selling the MadMax drum library.
Make your own. They're showing you what they do bit by bit and it makes them mad cash. Do it yourself foolio :P
@Kyle J Hartman
Well, then work harder so that you can get access to them.
People like JunkieXL are professionals of what they do because they themselves put the time and effort to become so. They're not doing this as a hobby - it's their JOB. A job is to make money; to earn a living.
How would you like it if you spent YEARS to polish your work, and then people just take it from you? If everyone on the Internet is creating the same kind of content as professionals (not exactly to their level, but to some extent), why would people invest their money on their content? People would, but the amount of people will decline because the market is so saturated.
Come on, it's a blessing that we even get these kind of content break up videos!
People these days take things for granted.
Or sample the video
@@MIZZKIE This video's dumbest reply right here. It is in the running for dumbest comment of the series, and dumbest comment.... of the internet.
@@roasty80 😂
Thanks. This is brilliant.
Awesome tutorial! keep them coming!
My the Universe bless you for sharing your knowledge.
this is brilliant, mate! thanks a bunch for these
i have always hated working with velocity to control drum expressions. i can't believe i never thought of it this way. i will be rebuilding all my percussion instruments. thank you so much!
Awesome!
Love these videos!
Very well done..❤️❤️
Such a great idea. I am going to use try to this to create better variation/control for DnB breaks patterns. Thank you for sharing your production knowledge.
what a great channel. thank you.
Brilliant !
Mind Blown, thank you.
Really great!
Thanks Junkie for this really nice vid.
Thank you so much for these videos !!!
I don't even know where or how to being to thank you for these tutorials. I am trying to enter scoring this late in my career and these workshops/workflows help tremendously. thank you, thank you, thank you! rsp
You're amazing! keep it up!
*Amazing job !!*
yes!!!!!!!!
Huge fan. Thank you for showing us this :)
so cool you do these videos, thanks a lot!
i already watch madmax 3 time just because your score, we want moree.. we want moree *crowd yell
I watched it 6 times in 2 weeks and I am not a fan of Mainstream Action Movies. But Fury Road is a piece of brilliant Art.
How do the knew generation of quietness deal with these sounds? I have a feurich grand piano and hunt sometimes. Just curious!
excellent video, very well presented and entertaining aswell informative to.
Absolutely amazing score! I actually didn't know you were still producing music till you did the Mad Max score. I know, I know - I have a lot of catching up to do!
this video was amazingly awesome.....do a million more like it please !!!!!!
(Im a drummer too)
can you pick one percussion instrument( for example a tom) and do a video showing exactly how you record, and take the recorded samples and lay them out in Kontakt?i love your technique of laying out velocities on the keyboard like that for percussion. very cool. thanks. keep up these awesome videos. so helpful to me.
Thank you very much for this video series, Mr. XL! They're very helpful and interesting. I would love to see an episode on your SSX Blur music! :D
Interesting how he uses an apple mighty mouse from 2007... oh well. Love these videos, it's so cool to see the process behind film scores.
Thank you so much! keep them coming!
23:00 blew up my speakers :/
GREAT! :D
i see you vienna ensemble pro. i don't understand well how it's working.... i don't know i have to load instrument here before or after.....^^ i love how you explain the way you're working! such an inspiration for me! it's rare to see famous movie composers share that much! thanks for that!!!!
Thank you for doing this video it's really helpfull !
Does anyone knows if Tom did a video to show the rest of his studio, more particularly to show his VSL servers. Apparently he does use 5 to 6 VSL remote servers with VEP, but I would love to hear more about it (models, specs, if he only use Ethernet or if finally bounce back audio with some MADI or so)? I know it's very specific question, and from all videos I saw so far, I haven't found anything... which is sad because I really really love his setup and the way he works.
His score from Wonderwoman is so fucking amazing! It's terrifying driving and epic
i'm a fan of this soundtrack, i thought they were doing it with live recording with a group of drumbeaters. so good
Thank you for this! Love watching these :)
I wish i had a great room, a bunch of drums and awesome mics to sample drums myself. I'm a bit limited to the commercial sample libraries as of now, but you can get stunning results with those aswell. For instance, with some work, you can get pretty similar sound with the 8Dio epic percussion series and HZ percussion.
A living leyend!
Thank you..thanks for sharing
Thanks for doing these videos. Cool stuff to see how you work. Reminds me of the meticulous work of writing in midi drums in Pro Tools, though Cubase seems like an entirely different animal.
I so want that drum library! OMG...
Nice!
Awesome stuff again Tom, what would be the icing on the cake ,if possible, would be to use the computer output for the music rather than the mic.
denis woods yeah I agree would love that
denis woods It would be nice, yes, but for a video like this, it's sort of understandable if he doesn't want to do that.
You could easily rip the audio, chop out the single drum hits and use them yourself.
thx mate for the view behind the scene, was really intresting.
for the moving the note around manually, you could also try the "logical editor" listed under "midi" . you can even create your own rules what you wanna apply to the midi-notes.
hahaha sounds pretty good to me,but we are not done yet!
it goes & goes but i love this.
I HATE programming drums via velocity. I wish all the commercial libraries would map samples this way!
Agreed!
For these kinds of orchestral drums, that's handy, but for drum set samples, it'd be kind of annoying to have different lanes for every piece of the kit.
For basic programs like Stormdrum that end up having a patch of 5 keys for a particular type of tom, though, it would be really useful.
Fillocity
Cinesamples does this with Drums of War 2
Yep Brilliant
