Let’s talk transitions and drum fills

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I am all about hardware jams and I think what separates an amazing performance from a bland one is transitions. Most of the music we make is limited by the 4-bar architecture of sequencers and this means that if you want to vibe on an idea for a while, you have to sacrifice the rest of your gear running on an endless loop. This tends to get boring really fast and leads to stale jams (and who wants that?)</p> <p>What I’m wondering is how you all go about incorporating drum fills and transitions into your live performances. I like to use a Kaoss pad to add master fx whenever I’m doing a drop or to cap off a 4-bar phrase, but I’m at a loss for how to do improvised drum fills. It seems like unless you preprogram them as part of a pattern chain it is really tough to just throw extra drums in there. Granted some gear has “stutter” functionality but in my opinion this sounds kind of cheesy. Enlighten me!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Alexis_deTokeville"> /u/Alexis_deTokeville </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/11dq05a/lets_talk_transitions_and_drum_fills/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/11dq05a/lets_talk_transitions_and_drum_fills/">[comments]</a></span>
