Music is loved by all, but some people are absolutely fanatic about music and music creation. If you are among such special people who love to create music, you must start beats on your own. Trust me it is very easy. You can learn how to make beats very easily. There are a few particular steps that you must follow in order to make your own beats. This piece of writing may surely help you making beats.
First of all you must be aware of all the beats of music. The basic element of beat must be clear in your mind before you start your attempt on beats. The basic elements of beats in common language are hi-hat, snare and kick. These are the three basic elements using which you can play any beat.
After you know about the elements of beats, try knowing your style. Every musician or rather every person has its own style of music. Determine which style suits you the best. It will help you concentrating in one particular style of music and beats would be easier to you.
Listen to your favorite music beats whenever you are free. While listening to the music try concentrating on the particular beats in the song. Taking them as a whole may confuse you, so it is better listening them partly. Break the music in parts and then try picking up the beats from those parts. Focusing on any one element of the beat at a time would certainly be useful and you will learn how to make beats soon, after that start working on the snare and then finally on hi-hats. There is a predictable pattern to follow each and every beat, and you will come to know about it as you start following the beats separately.
After listening them carefully, try using them on your drum. Soon you will be able to know how to make beats, and you will make your own beat on your drum machine.
During your attempt on making beats, count 1-2-3-4 aloud. Do it again and again. Keep on repeating the count aloud. This will help you in layering your beats on counting.
You will notice that the kick drum comes on number 1; the snare beat comes on number 3 every time you play. Now play the beat hi-hat on drum. Play it on every count of 1-2-3-4.
Now that you are good at making beats and know how to make beats, practice them thoroughly. Play all three of them simultaneously while counting. Take any tempo where you feel comfortable. You might not get the coordinated theme at first but with due course of time and through practice you will be able to make the beats as you want.
Once you are good at making beats, you will enjoy making them. Creating the sound totally at your own is a wonderful thing and it will add-on to your personality. You may master these skills with time and soon would be there in the stop of charts.
Know how to make beats.
