One of my favorite ways of approaching more straight forward “bang your head” or rock tracks is by writing out a simple and consistent kick/snare beat with a little high hat. Think ACDC “Back in Black”, Motley Crue “Sumthin for Nuthin” or even Joan Jett “Hate Myself For Loving You”.
I find that if the guitar riff grooves well on this, I’m off to a great start creating a track that’s gonna make the listener or myself bob their head.
For those of you programming your drums and writing/recording this way, what’s your approach to starting a track? Do you write your midi, or play it on a midi controller?
