Programming and producing drum beats: a new Berklee online course
Knowing how to write, record, arrange, mix, and program killer drumbeats is critical, whether you’re into hip-hop, urban, rock, alternative, dance, electronic, jazz, blues, or country. The beats in these styles of music serve as the rhythmic focus around which all of the other instruments play. Without a great drum beat, even the best song can fall short of its full potential and lack the impact, excitement, and energy necessary to make it a bona fide hit.
