how do you get the drums on a build up to get faster and faster on reason

clear the pattern, start it again, and run it like.. 32+ bars and paste to track, surely?

closer and closer spacing of the kicks and/or snares/hats. and maybe some velocity automation.

I've found some artists automate the decay on a reverb to build their drums up ready for the drop. It's very effective.

you could also wack a delay unit across your drums channel and shorten the delay time to create your build up

You could feed Blizzard Black Jacks & Fruit Salads to give him a sugar rush, then force him to beat box faster and faster until he explodes!

We could rub your bald head with a guiro until the blood gets to your head and makes a 400DB blast

We could buy you black lipstick Blizzard, and record the screams of a 1000 emo's & moshers as they slit their wrists in time to the beat!

Yeah!!

Oh yeah, you could cop hold of a copy of dblue glitch and do the retrigger setting option...!!

That would make an easy drum roll build up without too much automation...

start with kicks/snares every 8th then change to every 16th then 32nd of a beat. use a rv7000 on the echo setting (making sure uve put the tempo sync on) create a track for this, and automate it to get a bit wetter as the build up goes. leave say the last 3 or 7 beats out so that it the echo dont roll over into the drop, jobs a goodun

I've done this on a couple of tunes now, tempo changes.

Have to reqire it.

I'd recomend ableton because it's easier tor ecord live tempo mods in it.

You could have everything cut out and then have a massive timestretched rasta voice going blllllloooooooodddddccccllllllaaaaaarrrrrrttttt juuuuuunnnnnnggggggllllllllliiiiiiiiisssssss for about a minute and then have a pause and the drop. It was good enough for remarc back in the day, it should be good enough for you sonny jim.

Visual representation of clownstep. Copy the above straight into reason.
First line corresponds to beat number, second line represents how I feel when I hear it, third line is a graphic score for how I would imitate the sound if I was deaf.

haha some contructive answers here

I just tend to program a roll with the pattern running, make it as long as you need, then copy the pattern to the sequencer, turn off the RUN thing on re-drum and then loop the last couple of bars of your normal drum loop and have the fill at the end then tweak in the piano roll mode.

I like sticking a nice delay, verb, or glitch in there too.

On a slighly different note.. anyone know how u create the rise/fall fx to accompany those kick patterns..? which is usually used before a main drop & in breaks

futures_untold · Post by **futures_untold** » Thu Jul 17, 2008 10:55 am

I think your refering to filter sweeps?

The simplest way to achieve this is to start with some white noise, then to automate a high or low pass filter cut off to sweep up or down into the drop.
