ABOUT THE LESSON
Here is an example of a typical production class for someone wanting to learn how to program MIDI drums in Ableton or Logic. They would firstly identify their music genre of interest and secondly the skill level they're currently at. Upon determining this criteria, they would be walked through the process of setting up a virtual drum instrument, sequencing a basic, but interesting drum loop and also unique production techniques that have been developed specifically for the course.
They would then be taught how to source sounds, sample and manipulate them, and also understand the correct balance of sounds when mixing drums inside a song as a whole. The evolution of the lessons would go from learning how to program a basic drum loop, to learning how to add variations in different sections, knowing when to drop sounds in/out, then eventually how to build multiple layers of drums/percussion sounds within a song. Also included in this would be teaching the students how to tune drum/percussion sounds to the key of the song, and how to use drums as a harmonic tool also.
