Hello everyone!
I've already been writing for years, but only recently have I been taking things much more seriously and I'm trying to learn how to write my music a bit more in depth. I've noticed one of my biggest weaknesses is writing drum/percussion parts. Being a beginner, I've only recently learned some basic drum techniques like buzzes, flams, etc. I've never noticed those types of things in songs until now. I've been trying to incorporate these techniques into my own drum parts, but I'm a bit confused. Here is my question: In drum parts, are flams, buzzes, and other various techniques randomly spread out into the part, or are there patterns? Listening closer to some professionally written songs, it seems as if they have no pattern. On that note, is it/when is it necessary to put this into songs? Sorry for asking a question that I probably should already know, but I'm really eager to learn more and get better. Thank you!
