Beef Up a Dud Bass Drum

Important: Best if viewed with headphones because laptop/mobile phone speakers may not reproduce the low frequencies highlighted in this video. - This video will teach you how to beef up your bass drum sound by keying a gate. Great for hip-hop and rap music production, but can also be valuable for pop/rock recordings as well.

Made a new video last night showing a way to beef up the low end on a bass drum that might not have enough junk for your trunk. This technique involves using a low-frequency tone generator and a gate. The gate is controlled by the original bass drum track which tells it when to "open", thus allowing the low frequency tone to come through and beef up the sound of the otherwise-dull dry bass drum track.
