MacDaddy Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Drummers, when playing to a click, what kind of click do you prefer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakester Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 It depends what you're playing to. If I'm recording, I really like a cowbell quite high in the mix - and if possible different samples for the first beat of each bar. If playing live, it depends on the tune - for example, if quite percussion-heavy then you might want something more like an actual 'click' noise -rather than a cowbell - ideally something that can cut through the rest of the mix. Sometimes you can have it only in one ear, but I find that quite distracting, so both is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Low pitched cowbell, quite high in the mix. Since my ear is really tuned to bass, I usually record a bass track mimicking the click to help me stay listening to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knicknack Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I pinched these samples from a drummer I was working with, after really enjoying his click tracks. Use it on everything, seems to work really well... noticeable but musical! RITDO Click.wav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
