Drum destruction

- [Instructor] I want to give you one final example…of distortion, or destruction…of a drum track for effect.…So this might happen during a break down,…it might happen for the ending of a song…where you just want to change up the sound of a track…to keep the story moving along.…And it might be an attitude adjustment somebody's requested…where they want something to just sound…a little more aggressive or a lot more aggressive…in this case than anything you've given them so far.…And really give an adjustment to the attitude…of the most basic part of any mix…which is the drum track.…

So I've turned up this stereo pair here of a drum loop.…And I'll show you what I mean.…♫ "Live for Nothing" by Stefan Pruett…That's the way it is.…So when you distort a full drum loop like that…it really toys with the…sound of the kick drum especially…and gives a nice aggressive feeling to that snare.…But you can see the…the kick drum is really bottoming out,…which is what you'd say if you were describing…the shock absorber of a car that's reached its limit.…
