Drums And Bass Guitar - 4 Ways To Lock In Tight!

I've talked about the relationship between drums and bass guitar before on this channel. Rather than focusing on a general overview of the relationship, this video will get into specific things you can do to play better with any drummer. My linktree: https://bit.ly/basslinks Before we start, even though I'm giving you specific techniques, try to view these techniques as things that you could do rather than things you must always do. My hope is that these techniques will help you think about how you play with a drummer with greater depth. 1. Play In Unison With The Kick Drum Having the bass and kick drum in unison works incredibly well because both instruments occupy the same sonic space. Both are low register, low-frequency instruments so when they combine they produce a very solid and powerful sound which provides a strong foundation for the rest of the music and helps to dictate the feel and highlight any prominent rhythms in the music. We'll see later on that they don't always have to be in exact unison but the point here is that the two parts sound strong when there's some clear relationship between them. If they both totally ignore the other it can often sound like a complete mess. 2. Work On Beat Placement The term beat placement refers to playing your notes either before, after or at the exact same time as you feel the beat. The beat placement massively helps to shape the character and feel of a piece of music and different styles often have different beat placements commonly associated with them. Punk music often has people playing in front of the beat, soul music is often behind for example. If you're able to comfortably sit in front, behind and right on top of the beat you'll be able to create many different feels within the music you play and you'll find it easier to play in different styles with different drummers. 3. Note Length Using different note lengths helps to create different textures in the music you play. The next time you're locked into a kick pattern try experimenting with short notes, long notes, medium length notes or any other length you like and take note of how that changes the sonic texture. Long notes tend to sound very full and strong. Short notes, I feel, give a thinner texture. As long as you can hear how your note lengths affect the music you'll be able to think about the groove you're creating with more depth and this means you'll be much better at serving the music. 4. Try Not Following The Kick Drum This may seem like I'm contradicting my original advice but stick with me. We saw earlier that a bass and kick in unison sounds very strong and stable. However, if we purposefully want something that doesn't sound as strong or something that creates room for the drums to stick out then we can think about avoiding unison patterns and playing less. A great exercise to try all this is to put a drum loop on, play along and practice all the things I've suggested in this video. Try locking in to the kick in unison, then only partial unison. Play behind, in front and on top of the beat. Change up your note lengths and then finally try playing less and giving the drums room to play out.
