Drum patterns. Drum programming. The fun part of electronic music production. But I’m sure you’ll agree with me when I say that drum programming isn’t always the  easiest  part of the process. In fact, it’s quite often the most frustrating. You find it hard to pick the right samples, and your patterns just don’t sound as good as those in the songs you listen to every day.  Fortunately, it gets easier—especially if you put in the time and effort to learn drum programming. Which is exactly what I’m going to teach you in this article.

Sampling is far from a new concept, having first become popular in the 1970s and 1980s. What is new, however, are the modern methods and techniques used as technology develops and music trends change. It’s fair to say music sampling has advanced through time. Today, a musical masterpiece can be created with just a laptop. Used heavily in electronic and hip-hop music, sampling is the art of taking recordings of instrumental notes or excerpts from old music and splicing it together or manipulating it with other sounds to create brand new music. Not dissimilar to a synthesizer, a sampler is a digital “instrument” that uses recordings rather than generating new sounds.

Growing up in Belfast, Ireland, Sharooz Raoofi (better known just as Sharooz) began playing and singing in bands before eventually moving to London. Falling in love with electronic music in college, he spent all of his money on samplers and sequencers, including an Atari ST running Cubase, and performed live with an MPC60 and Roland MC-303.
