Tips for syntesising hats and top end percussion?

So Im aware of several online videos such as secret musics ones for doing kicks and tom percussion wit the A4. Is anyone aware of any videos or just general tips for creating synthesized high hats, cymbals and other high end percussion noises with the A4?

A4 snappy drum sounds

Thanks for the Druma love guys BTW you can make very similar to the 6 squarewave cymbal/hat sounds on the A4, even though you don’t have 6 squarewaves - check out x0x cymbal and soft ride amongst others in Druma for examples of that kind of sound. I think the A4 is a great drum synth, and the Rytm’s biggest competition might well be its own sibling, on analog drum sounds at least. (not sequencing) Finally for anyone who is anti presets I did not design Druma to be canned presets, thin…

Can the A4 sound like the 909 open hi hat

Hi, After I’ve got some hi hats programmed on the A4 using mostly bend on a very high pitch, adding noise, dialling in resonance etc., I’m wondering if it’s possible to get close to a 909 open hi hat which is my beloved one. Other than that I’m thankful for any other hi hat programming tips in general. Thanks and cheers, Dennis

Drum Synthesis Recipes: A4 Holiday Notes

There’s lots to find here on the Forum, but it’s all a bit scattered. So I thought to share here my compilation of analyses and some tricks shared by others. I plan to print …

Hiya guys, A4 owner for a short while now. Absolutely LOVE it. It has changed my sound immensely. One thing I’m having a bit of a problem with is making metallic sounds and beyond normal chord sounds. Do you guys have any advice for this A4 newbie? Cheers
