Ableton Live Tutorial: Drum Rack + Impulse = DrumPulse. Up-front Garage. Still one of our most requested genres, this instalment of Beat Dissected focusses on a future garage beat constructed from drum machine hits, live samples and energetic percussion hits.
Beat Dissected is a regular series in which we deconstruct drum patterns, showing you how to recreate them in any DAW. Just copy our grid in your own software to recreate the loop. Here’s the beat we’re building today: Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.

SPEC tempo 125—135bpm swing 55—65% sounds A mix of acoustic drum samples and drum machine hits. Step 1 Start with the kick, a layered sound with a nice rounded low-end but also some high-end presence supplied by blending in a clicky hi-hat sample. Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Time for the details. Random Access Memories. Connect Ableton Live and Traktor Pro. Production Tip 5 : The Sub-kick Trick. A good kick drum sound can often make or break a track.
It’s probably going to be one of the few bass-end elements in your mix and so key to providing that low-end energy. While kick sounds can vary massively there are two basic elements that will probably be common to most. Lets call them ‘punch’ and ‘weight’. Punch is the top end, the knocky bit of the sound where the beater of the bass drum pedal hits the drum head.
Without this your kick sound won’t have any clarity or thump and probably won’t translate well to audio systems with poor low frequency reproduction. If you’re using samples then it’s often possible to combine two sounds containing these elements to get the one perfect kick. All you need is a noise-gate with a sidechain input and something which can generate a continuous sine wave like an oscillator or a synth.
