Master Percussion for Music Composition (Udemy.com)

I am very new to music composition and electronic music tools. This was a nice introduction to the percussion side of the process. Some knowledge of the tools and terminology was assumed, but it didn't keep me from enjoying the course.

Lots of info about percussions as the course stated and probably added to my general knowledge. I just hope that I will also see here the role of each drum part, such as kick, snare, hi-hat and so forth and how to approach writing drums part in your music composition

Nice course that covers a lot of instruments to be used for drums etc. Some good advice and tips for other things like drum fills etc and also good in general for learning about the spacing of drums and where do they fit in the spectrum of a whole track etc. Recommend it to anyone who has not got much knowledge of creating drum patterns.

Great Course. Helped me to get accustomed with the percussion tools for composing, and when and how to use it, and the rhythm. It would have 5 stars, if there were more cheatsheets/resources/handouts for various topics (drum ranges, percussion templates, the workflow template), so that the student would be able to look at it when practising the provided techniques.

It helps me understand how to consciously build the elements and use different techniques when creating the percussion instead of me just trying to feel what could be good or unknowingly leaving elements out and not filling the entire frequency range.

Very good info. I love Mike's approach even though I'm not so fond of his use of superlative wording : become a master at abc, become an expert at xyz. We know it is impossible to master anything in a 2.5 hours course if we dont put in lots and lots of work. But regardless, this course is great.

Mikael's knowledge and versatility as a composer is astounding. He is a brilliant communicator. His passion and focus is mesmerizing. His face is always lit up like a lamp. He knows what you need to know and how to guide you through it. By the end the course you are empowered with a solid understanding of the subject and the ability to move forward on your own. So... yes... this course pleasantly exceeded my expectations.

One of my problem areas in learning composing has been percussion. How to use it and what kind of instruments there are. Mikael gives a great introduction to what types of percussions there is and how to use them, and especially when to use them. I have learnt a lot already and I haven't even finished all the lectures yet.

Mike shares a lot of good information, tips and advice. I learnt a lot and fully energised started to write a new piece of music with tons of percussion. Mike is a great tutor/instructor and gives in-depth explanations on his workflow which is helpful and easily applicable.

As always, Mikael's course was outstanding! He is not just knowledgeable as a musician and sound designer, he also has excellent teaching skills. He is able to break apart what he wants to get across into small, understandable segments, and teaches the concepts in a very clear, well thought out manner.
