Understanding the use of Drumming Patterns in Music Production.

Music is all about rhythm. Most of us can say that we have to enjoy the beat and rhythm before we can appreciate the song itself. Although we can’t predict what you’re thinking – we wanted to talk about drumming patterns in regards to music production. When it comes to producing records and laying down tracks, artists must consider the quality of their sound. You’ll hear us reference this quite a bit throughout our blog series as we aim to motivate aspiring artists to harness their creativity.

So, What Are Drumming Patterns?

As we were looking for the definition of drumming patterns on Google, we realized there was no such term defined. Most search results only allocate the phrase “drumming beat.” This reminds us of the bass of a song and we decided to keep looking. Another interesting term we found was “drum rudiment.” In this scenario, the term refers to the individual style or the basic rhythmic pattern of the composer.Either way you look at it, a drumming pattern in music production refers to the extent of the composer’s ability. Every song has a repetitive beat that continues throughout a majority of the song. Most beats for purchase include a simple drumming pattern on a loop, while others [like us!] utilize tempo variations, build ups, high hats, and other filters that enhance sound quality.

The Benefits of Quality Drumming Patterns.

As we just mentioned, a quality drumming pattern can add some effect to your track. But how exactly does it enhance your ability to sell your music? Music is about rhythm, remember? It’s all about the quality and one’s ability to get in tune with the melody. You can either invest in a repetitive instrumental without character, or heighten your vocals with build ups and variations.Look at it this way, if you’re going to invest money into music production, why not be different? Now, we’re not saying that all artists sound the same – but, when you’re first trying to gain traction it’s imperative that you stand out as much as you can. One beat or rhythm can be the difference in people standing during your performance or jamming out to your mixtape in the car. At Big3z Productions, our mixology abilities allow artists to tell their story in a unique way. Not only do we cater drumming patterns to the artist’s style, but we aim to engineer original beats that engage the audience every time they turn it on.

More About Drumming Patterns and Programming.

Most of you are probably wondering if beats with quality drumming patterns cost a lot more money. We don’t think so, but they may be a little harder to access. Most beat-making websites are SEO-heavy [with quantity] and tend to populate search results more frequently than an independent producer’s. The key to finding quality production is finding a solid producer to work with. Downloading a beat is easier to begin recording on, but you have to factor in quality and the amount of additional users that have recorded on it.If you decide to find a producer, most will have a unique drumming pattern that you can listen to online. You should be able to determine what types of drumming programming they’re working with by listening to the differences in patterns on each sample. If most of their beats sound the same, then you’ll know that they may not be as experienced in drumming patterns and mixology.In our humble opinion, drumming patterns make or break your ability to be heard. We know that we can align with most production companies, and pump out as many beats as we can – but we’d rather side with quality. The experience that Big3z brings to the table is a key cog in the value we provide aspiring artists with. Even Sam Matla, the founder of EDMProd, understands the importance of drum programming and groove. You can view a screenshot from the article on the right.Don’t short yourself as the right melody can provide a rhythmic healing that compliments your lyrics and showcases your personality. At the end of the day, we want to sell records – not garner likes and shares from your friends. If you want to take your music career to the next level, bet on yourself and make sure you walk to the beat of your own drum.. And remember, quality music is easy with Big3z.
