This month I’m going to focus on one of my favorite parts of production…. Aux Percussion! I absolutely love Aux Percussion… possibly even more than layering guitars (and that is saying a lot!) Just to put a definition to what I’m talking about; Aux Percussion is any percussion instrument that is not the main percussion instrument. For example; most rock songs have a drum set as the main percussion part and layered in the background are the aux percussion parts (shakers, tambourines, hand drums, etc). This month we are going to focus on these three parts of Aux Percussion;
- When and Why to use Aux Percussion.
- Acoustic Aux Percussion.
- Sample Aux Percussion.
