About Course

Percussive Sound Design in Xfer Serum is a specialized course for producers and sound designers aiming to craft authentic drum and percussion sounds using Xfer Serum. Led by Proper Villains, the course delves into the synthesis of classic drum machine elements like 808 and 909 kicks, snares, claps, cymbals, and more.

Throughout the course, students will explore techniques to emulate iconic percussive sounds, including the 808 cowbell, clave, triangle, and whistle. The curriculum emphasizes practical application, guiding learners through post-processing methods such as layering synthesized drums with live samples and applying effects to create movement and tension.
