As a drummer who also programs drums, shifting individual hits around by 1 ms is easily perceptible and has a big impact on the feel of a groove. I will always go through each drum element separately and figure out, by ear, what the specific offset should be. This goes especially for percussive parts lacking a transient.
Without this, the groove will feel wooden and stifled.
- balfirevic 3y agoAs a curiosity, that's the difference in timing you'd get if you moved the individual drum in a drum set 30 cm closer or further from the listener.
- MrScruff 3y agoHaha that’s a cool fact. By implication you’ll hear a slightly different groove as the drummer than your audience.
