Banks of sampled drums are a great resource, but there’s a lot to be learned from good old-fashioned synthesis. With the incredible wealth of sampled drum libraries, loops, classicdrum machine emulations and even virtual drummers, it may seem like there’s little need to synthesise your own drum sounds from scratch. While we’re not suggesting for a minute that you give up those modern conveniences, there are loads of useful reasons to givedrum synthesis a try.

Groove Music: The Art and Culture of the Hip-Hop DJ

English | 2012 | 352 pages | PDF | EPUB | 4.96 MB | 8.22 MB

It’s all about the scratch in Groove Music, award-winning music historian Mark Katz’s groundbreaking book about the figure that defined hip-hop: the DJ.
Today hip-hop is a global phenomenon, and the sight and sound of DJs mixing and scratching is familiar in every corner of the world. But hip-hop was born in the streets of New York in the 1970s when a handful of teenagers started experimenting with spinning vinyl records on turntables in new ways. Although rapping has become the face of hip-hop, for nearly 40 years the DJ has proven the backbone of the culture. In Groove Music, Katz (an amateur DJ himself) delves into the fascinating world of the DJ, tracing the art of the turntable from its humble beginnings in the Bronx in the 1970s to its meteoric rise to global phenomenon today.
