Programming Your Own Percussion Beds

Featured Replies

Hi guys!

I write articles for a site called ComposerFocus and I wanted to share them here as well since the topics may pertain to all young composers, not just media folks. Feel free to leave comments here, or preferably right on the article.

No modern action score is complete without a rousing percussion section hammering away beneath the rest of the instruments. Yet despite being one of the most important elements in the score, many media composers take the easy way out with their percussion, resorting to some tired loops.

If you’re sick of sounding like everyone else and have run out of ways to layer your loops over each other to sound “fresh”, then keep reading as I give you a quick look at what it takes to program your own percussion, why it’s not as hard as you think, and why it’s crucial for defining your own personal sound.

I hope you learn something! :happy:
