A good tip I got from Culprate/Dave Rat was if you want your drop sounding really clean and phat have a little bit of reverb or vinyl crackling on your master bus on everything up until the drop, this will make your drop sounding much cleaner by comparison.

I've been using silence before the drop, and layering 808 and 909 kicks on the drop....

Just tried a bunch of these new tips (subtle volume jump, reverb before the drop) and I'm loving the results. Thanks for the awesome info guys!

A good drop normally comes from a few things. The build up before the drop is prob the big one. I am not a fan of sweeps before a drop but having drums fade out/dissolve and then having a good noise delayed off into nothing kind of sucks people in as the track goes bang and that works well.

Its not really even about the drop for me any more but the journey getting there that matters.
Don’t worry about people stealing an idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.
