Songwriters/Producers: Watch out…

With the exception of the vocals, the drums are the most important instrument in any song. Studies from Bristol University have shown that songs in the charts are becoming more and more danceable. In other words: Not being able to write for drums is a HUGE shortcoming producers/songwriters can’t afford anymore if they want to be able to write commercial music of any kind.

This is a step-by-step guide to learning how to write, notate and program commercial drum parts, including grooves, fills and hits. Even if…

…you have never written for drums before

…you don’t know how to read music

I have been writing my own drum parts ever since I started making music (and without ever being a drummer myself). I am completely self-taught – from listening to hit records, talking to professional drummers, reading books and lots and lots of experimenting.

No matter if you want to work with a real drummer or program your drums yourself, this 4-hour workshop will show you how to do it (and a lot more).

In This 4-Hour Course You’ll Learn…

…why groove is so important in modern songwriting and what psychological influence it has on us. What has the drumset brought to music that classical music didn’t have? Knowing the purpose of groove is essential if you want to write commercial Pop music

…a simple trick to remember where all the instruments of the drum set are notated so you’ll never forget it again

…the Do’s and Don’ts of Drum Notation. I fell for these traps a couple of times in my career and have annoyed many drummers this way. I’ll show you how to properly notate drum parts so you don’t get confused looks

(This is from the instruments section, where we go through all the different instruments, how to notate them, where to find them on a MIDI keyboard and different playing styles)

…how to notate anything you want. If you want your drummer to sneeze rhythmically, here’s how to write it down. Want 13 toms? No problem, I’ll show you where to put them

…7 Drum articulations you must know and the sounds you can make with each instrument.This opens up a whole range of possibilities for the creative folks out there who want to use fresh sounds for their songs

…the most famous drum groove in the world – we break it down step by step until you know its ins and outs.

…all that drummer’s lingo. Make sure you know what all the beats, techniques, strokes and instruments are called so you don’t make a complete ass out of yourself when instructing your drummers in the studio

…how exactly a groove is played. Understanding basic drum coordination will help you figure out the possibilities and impossibilities of drum part-writing. Never write an unplayable groove or fill again!

…the 8 drum voicings every songwriter must know. This is absolutely essential for any kind of song, no matter what style you like to write in

…a step-by-step method of writing for snare, kick drum, hihat and hihat pedal. Learn how the pros would do it and write parts that groove like a mother and are fun to play!

…my secret weapon in drum programming: the 4 hihat strokes and 3 groovy velocity curves (hint: knowing these is an absolute necessity for writing groovy drum parts)

(This is from the section on fill-writing. Here, you can see drummer Davy Andy Henket performing the fill while you read along in the notation)

…the LAW of drum-writing and 7 examples where the LAW applies. Applying the LAW is the key to writing groovy drum parts, understanding ghost notes, fills and much, much more

…what European and African music have brought to our Western Pop music and why both are important in modern, commercial songwriting. If you’ve been writing drum grooves for a while you might be in for a surprise!

…how to write ghost notes (this is where all the sexy feels are hiding) and get ANYONE dancing

…the magical relationship between kick drum and bass guitar (my favorite part of the workshop EASY!)

…how to identify and tap 5 important tempos any time, any place. After watching this section you’ll never forget these again!

…spotting grooves and fills that are impossible to play at a glance and how to fix them – this is where knowing your drum coordination really pays out!

…how to use Double Strokes to your advantage and how they are most commonly usedin grooves, fills and hits

…how to program MIDI drums that sound as real as it gets. This includes everything you need to know, including Quantizing, Choice of Samples, Kick Drum, Snare and Hihat programming as well as velocities. Check out this example:

(I get asked about this one a LOT – yes, the first half is really programmed as it says in the video!)

…the 5 aspects of Groove Weight and how to use them to write grooves for any style or type of song. If you ever wondered how to figure out which groove to pick for your song, this is gonna be a HUGE for you.

…how to use Standard, Double and Half Time, and how they’re different from Standard, Double and Half Time Feel.

…the influence of subdivision, accents and swing/shuffle on the feeling of a groove

…the different types of fills, how to tell them apart and when to use them. There are few things more useful for creating tension than using drum fills. After following this workshop you will be able to write tons of very different fills for different situations.

…the Do’s & Don’ts of writing a full drum score. Mess this up and your drummer will be annoyed for the entire recording session.

…where to place fills using the “Rule of 4”.

(This is where we talk about the different terms a drummer uses. Knowing the right words when speaking to a drummer is crucial if you want to communicate what you want them to do and it shows you’re a professional)

…become a master of elegant drum writing by learning how to prioritize some notes over others and why. After following this course you’ll never write another note without knowing its purpose again!

…the 3 types of hits/punches/kicks, how to distinguish them and when to use them. Nothing sexier than a well placed kick in the rhythm section!

…what “alpha beats” are and why they’re the most basic element of a groove. Why they determine feel and how to use them to get into the groove quicker (explained by percussion legend Nippy Noya)

…how to write complex sounding fills or hits that are easy and fun to play for any drummer

…how to use the 3 “rhythmic shapes” to invent your own unique grooves. Gain complete rhyhmical freedom with this simple visualization technique

…and much, much more!

Testimonials

I guarantee that these Testimonials are real and not altered by me in any shape or form.

“As a songwriter, arranger, and composer, I wanted to severely brush up on notating drums. I know when drums sound good and when they don’t, so I’ve often kept it to the basics when writing drums. As I’ve progressed with my songwriting, I felt it appropriate to gain a better understanding of how to write drums that have a real groove to further enhance my songs. I enrolled in Friedemann’s self-paced Drum-Writing for Non-Drummers course and I’ve been blown away by the knowledge I’ve gained. I have a much better understanding of how to write better grooves. If you want to learn how to communicate with a drummer and how to properly notate drums on a stave, I recommend taking this course. You’ll be well on your way to producing better music. – Brandon S.

Hey Friedemann. I’m loving the course! You’ve done a fantastic job. I’m off for a short break holiday tomorrow for a few days and really excited to be working through it. My goal is to significantly improve my programmed drums and from what I’ve seen in the course so far, I’ve learn’t loads.” – Les D.
