Hey guys,
I'm going through my library and I'm not an expert on music theory by any means. I'm wondering what instruments need to be in key and which ones will still sound okay by not being in key? I'm assuming most kick drums, bass notes, synth notes, piano's, strings, etc. must be IN key in order for the song to sound good. I'm assuming things like snares and hihats may not need to be in key...but please please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks! I am also wondering...can percussion be in the scale of a key, for it to fit in a song? Or does all the percussion need to stay in the root note key?
Rick
