For example, a bass guitar that plays C2 (65 Hz) will also generate overtones at C3 (130) and C4 (260 Hz), in addition to other intervals between and above those. Most sounds have some sort of resonant frequency that generates overtones which are multiples of that frequency. Let’s look at three tips you can use to create crisp and punchy drums that will cut through your mix and create that infectious groove that DJ’s and fans alike are always looking for. Crafting a solid drum groove for your tracks will create less work down the line, allowing you to take a more stripped back and efficient approach with the other elements of your song.
How we produce, process, and mix drums has a direct effect on how our music makes bodies move. Drums and percussion have always been the backbone of rhythmic music, but they hold a special place in the universe of dance music.
