Hi,
I have been producing trance for a long time but when I create my percussion I just experiement arround for a good sound. I never really thought whats the OPTIMUM position for some elements.
In reality I don't know where should the open hat/closed/ride hat go for an effective sounding trance percussion. I just choose what sounds "good"
Can someone give me a nice arrangement given these elements:
1. Kick
2. Clap
3. Snare
4. Closed Hat
5. Open Hat
6. Hi Hat
7. Some Perc Element
8. Ride
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
N. |

First of all, an open hat and a closed hat are both hi hats, so your sixth element is kind of pointless. I'll just replace it with another closed hi hat because with two you can get a nice rhythm.
1. Kick = K
2. Clap = C
3. Snare = not used except in builds or breakbeats generally
4. CHH1 = h - panned left
5. CHH2 = j - panned right
6. OHH = O
7. Shaker = S
8. Ride = R
K - - - K - - - K - - - K - - -
- - - - C - - - - - - - C - - -
- h - h - h - h - h - h - h - h
- - J J - - J J - - J J - - J J
- - O - - - O - - - O - - - O -
- - - S - - - S - - - S - - - S
R - - - R - - - R - - - R - - -
This is a basic, pretty standard trance rhythm. It will sound boring as hell if you dont expand upon it. Good luck. |

I love those letter percussion thingys, they help out so much
I'll actually share my latest track percussion.
K = Kick
C = Closed Hat
O = Open Hat
c = Clap
r = Reverb Clap
W = Wood
N = Closed Hat (With more Reverb)
K---K---K----K---
