Drum Fills
« on: January 21, 2016, 09:42:02 pm »
Hey buds,
Can anybody recommend good sample packs with drum fills or drum synths or drum kits that are good for making drum fills? I'm looking for non-cheesy, unique drum fills that will sound good in electro, complextro and future bas tracks :)

Check out Cymatic's packs, specifically the Jupe pack. It has 2 great fills (and loads of other goodies.)
Completely free, too. Cymatics.fm is the link. They have a few other free packs, maybe those have some.

I make really spacey future stuff. Under my new project, Indus, I have not released anything yet. But when I do, it'll be at https://soundcloud.com/gonewiththestars

How do you make cool drum fills though?

I've been analyzing tracks to figure it out, but can never get dope ones.

16ths? 32nds? Pitch falls? All of mine are tacky 0.0

Any tips from experienced drum fillers?

MT Power Drum kit 2 is awesome and free
http://www.powerdrumkit.com/

If you have some $$ to invest, look into Superior Drummer, Steven Slate, or some of the other options. The good thing about Drum programs like these is they come with a bunch of pre programmed beats and fills that you can adjust to taste. They're all multisampled so you can get some really nice, realistic fills using these programs.

As far as actual fill patterns, listen to the part before or after the fill and try to feel out the groove. You can place accent hits according to the most basic groove/feel of the section and fill in the incidentals to taste
