In each of these chapters, Yeuda discusses how to choose the appropriate tempo and drum sounds for the style and how to sequence the kick, snare, and cymbals. The following chapters tackle the particulars of house, dubstep, drum and bass, trap, juke, and hip-hop. First get some basic rhythmic theory, including counting music and note subdivisions, and learn how elements like cymbals, percussive instruments like congas, and even homemade sounds from cans, bottles, and counters contribute to your beats. Yeuda works with Ableton Live-but you can use these tutorials to make beats in whatever DAW you have accessible. Yeuda Ben-Atar, educator and producer who performs as DJ Side Brain, shows you how to make beats in a variety of genres, from dubstep to hip-hop. The drum track is part of the hidden chemistry of a great song.
