  • Reverb was added to provide depth and space to the drum sounds.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a Yamaha RX5 drum machine for the electronic elements.
  • Layer acoustic drum samples or recordings on top of the drum machine.
  • Use a combination of EQ and compression to shape the tone and dynamics of the drums.
  • Experiment with different reverb settings to find the right amount of space and depth.
