Percussion. You can speed up or slow down a track dramatically by shifting percs forward or backward out of time, without ever changing the tempo of the track.

compression etc won't give a track drive. Its all about the way that the percussion, bass and kick flow together. So its a timing issue.

As I've just realised that Fledz has mentioned. Too quick sir, you are too quick.

Its basically all about swing and timing mmmhmm.

Sorry I'm so late on this post - If I can visualize my view on drive in the track please listen to this track http://soundcloud.com/trancelover007/g-r-i-d-wind-rider-pre-release-demo ---> check 1:15 - 1:45 you can see how this collaboration between drums/kick/bass line is establish and how each of those instruments support each other - this is how I create drive and energy in my tracks, good luck my friend.

Cheers

Nice track! I love that drop straight into the bassline. I would like to hear the full version.

i can't read all the comments, lack of time i see you are going specific for your track but imo what gives drive in a track is:

1.- Hi Hats
2.- Bassline
3.- Kick/BPM's this is quite obvious but a punchy kick at a fast bpm increase the speed sensation, but mostly the hats.

I assume it's the developing progression, and uninterrupted sounds. If I make any sense..

Anyway, this:

I've always thought groove and drive are the opposites of each other. Groove is a funky bassline, nice syncopation, shuffle and all. Drive is more of a speedy feeling in the track, in example when a track "picks up", or... Something.

I think this track has groove:



And then in lack of a better example, I think this track has a lot of drive starting from 1:43:

Generally all house is groovy, progressive house isn't the best example but tech-house is often all about groove, if you listen to it on small speakers is minimal noise but makes sense on a big sound system.

I find this track very driving, maybe the lack of breakdown as someone posted above me gives the track constant energy



This track made me run faster in my car, so i think is really driving :P
