Tips of snare Drum rolls / builds

[Tomy]

i can do them for shit. any tips?

[street]

a typical one is about 8 bars long, so id split them up into this:

bars 1 and 2 = 1/4 note hits

bars 3 and 4 = 1/8 note hits

bars 5 and 6 = 1/16 not hits

bar 7 = 1/32 note hits

bar 8 = no drums

bar 9 = MASSIVE DROP!

combine that with some white noise sweeps or any build sound youve got and it should do the trick.

I just use my Korg Nanopad atm.

The little button highlighted in the picture is 'ROLL'

The X-Y pad allows you to build up and down, pitch and volume.

Its a great way to drum roll a sample or fragment.

just a thought?

$80 i paid. true if it were just for snare.

sometimes my 2 cents is really just a penny's worth

the way i do them is by following the 1/16 1/32 locators on my sequencer and copy my on shots accordingly

[Tomy]

yeah i'm pretty much all set with the making is speed up thingy.

i was thinking more along the lines of accents, LFO's, pitching or any sneaky shit like that. sick of the wind up snare haha.

The strokes on the 1, 2, 3 and 4 of a 1/16th stroke roll are usually accented for drum rolls when talking about drumming in general, but I dont hear it much in edm. so something along the lines of...

1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 e & a
