Well I came across this sort of drum roll sound, I'm not really sure what to call it lol

But it's at 0:59 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNAb9NQoJzk

0:51 here: https://soundcloud.com/andywolfmusic/shapes-preview

And I've noticed it's quite common it 80's dance music and stuff.
So I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to replicate a sound like that?

Cheers

Also found it here at 0:17 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYvVL0QD434

Pretty sure you're just talking about a tom roll? Don't really need to make anything. Just get some tom samples. If they come with like a "tom hi", "tom mid", and "tom lo", then great, you can make a roll by having like 4 hi's hit, followed by 4 mids and then 4 lo's or something like that. if you can only get one, just transpose it up and down to get different pitches.

Im not sure if there toms, they sound very lively to me. Very acoustic, try making two tracks of your drums instead of one so the first drum can hit and let its tail finish and the hit the second drum hit before or during the tail or if your in Fl its easy to do drum rolls with its piano roll. Should go like 4 notes at your root note then another 3 or 4 notes at five halfsteps down and then a couple more notes another two down. Should go 1-5-7.

Maybe its sampled hits of an actual drum set? I can never find good live drum samples

I guess not ahah! Thought these were toms?

sample a drum roll

They're drums like a kick or a snare. Frequency-wise, they lie in between a kick and a snare, between 50 and 200 hz usually. In fact, a lot of EDM/brostep producers layer a tom in for the "snare" part to give it more punch. But mostly, in electronic and acoustic music, they are just used for rolls.

I'm sure if you produce you have single shot samples of various drums, so go to

http://www.looperman.com download a drum roll stretch it to twice the size in audacity or whatever, listen carefully with headphones and try and recreate it, not the easiest way but a good way of learning...
