Dropzone Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hi Gang i have EZ drummer, which I am really happy with, but is anyone aware of how to add a dubsteb kind of bass drum sound into this or would I have to run a separate track? Also does anyone have a really good dubstep drum sample or link? Ta Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hi Mike, There are plenty of free dubstep drum samples available online - try searching on Google or visit the Freesound website as a good place to start: http://www.freesound.org/ http://www.freesound.org/search/?q=dubstep+kick+drum A quick tip: dubstep kick drums are sometimes deliberately 'hollow' with very little bass at the bottom end - this is to leave plenty of room for monstrous synth bass naughtiness. Try removing the lower end frequencies from whatever kick you decide to use with a shelving EQ (or high pass filter) anywhere between 40 - 80Hz as a rough guesstimate - but only if you think the kick is competing with the bassline. Also try a bit of distortion to dirty things up a bit. Happy dubstepping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dropzone Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thanks for that. I will have a good trawl through them tonight. Saw Korn last night doing their new dubstep thing which was brilliant!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 (Slightly...) OT... Very many years ago now, our best 'reggae' bass drum for recording was an enormous rag ladybird stuffed into a plastic bucket, beaten with a wooden spoon. Difficult for touring, perhaps, but sometimes thinking 'out of the box' does the trick. (Poverty is an inspiration, too...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dropzone Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hmmmm, where can I find one of these lady birds and do fender make one ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
