How to Get a Metal Bass Drum Sound | Season Three, Episode 34

One of the most genre-specific drum sounds out there is the metal bass drum. Articulate to the point of being “clicky”, punchy but without too much boom, and immediate- the sound is there and then it’s gone. Both of us have been hired to create these sounds in studio environments and we decided to put together a video that details the approach that we took and demonstrates the progression of changing variables to get to the finished sound, completely mixed.
