This would really depend on the musical attributes of the song you&#8217;re sampling as well as the style of production you&#8217;re working on. The most straight forward way to actually <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">remove<\/span> drums from sample, but many times not the technique you want\u00a0to use.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tip #2:<\/strong>\u00a0Filter the Sample (HPF)<\/h2>\n<p>With the majority of the <a href=\"http:\/\/tcustomz.com\">Hip Hop beats that I work on<\/a> personally, a single-band EQ (high-pass filter) will solve much of this problem! A HPF allows your to \u00a0clean up the lower frequencies of the sample, and is a good start to cleaning up the bass, <a href=\"http:\/\/tcustomz.com\/sound-kits-bundle.html\" target=\"_blank\">kick drums<\/a>, and most of the snare frequencies. \u00a0Setting the threshold on your filter will vary on a case by case basis, again depending of the traits of the audio you&#8217;re sampling.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5877\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/high-pass-filter-hpf.png\" alt=\"high-pass-filter-hpf\" width=\"306\" height=\"194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/high-pass-filter-hpf.png 306w, https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/high-pass-filter-hpf-300x190.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 306px) 100vw, 306px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tip #3:<\/strong>\u00a0Multiband EQ<\/h2>\n<p>Your next option is the multiband equalizer. This EQ will give you much more control over the sample and the ability to shape and mold the audio with much more precision. \u00a0I typically use an 8-band EQ in those special cases when I need to &#8220;dip out&#8221; or &#8220;cut off&#8221; other parts of the sample.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft wp-image-5797\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/remove-drum-from-sample.png\" alt=\"remove drums from sample\" width=\"427\" height=\"176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/remove-drum-from-sample.png 434w, https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/remove-drum-from-sample-300x124.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tip #4:<\/strong>\u00a0Apply &#8220;Attack&#8221; to Sample Chops<\/h2>\n<p>So when filtering and EQing the sample don&#8217;t quite do the trick to remove the drums, this technique can be huge life saver! \u00a0In the cases when you&#8217;re slicing on the sample&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/tcustomz.com\/drum-samples.html\" target=\"_blank\">drum hits (kick, snare, etc)<\/a>, applying a quick attack to each sample slice can work wonders. Essentially what the attack does is quickly fades in the sample slice from when it&#8217;s triggered. Typically I will apply a 20-40ms attack to the majority of my beats and it yields tremendous results! It&#8217;s a very subtle strategy, but can make a world of difference when you need to remove drums from sample!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5878\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/attack-sample.png\" alt=\"attack-sample\" width=\"712\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/attack-sample.png 712w, https:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/attack-sample-300x80.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h3>\u2014 Let\u2019s Connect! \u2014<\/h3>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m very reachable on the following:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tcustomz.com\/\">Official Website<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/tcustomzdotcom\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/tcustomzproductionz\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/tcustomz\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/tcustomz\" target=\"_blank\">Soundcloud<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/tcustomz\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<h5><em>Please Like, Comment &amp; Share if this video was helpful \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/h5>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1AJ9aDx\" target=\"_blank\"><button class=\"btn btn-large btn-primary\" type=\"button\">Download 100% Custom Sound Kits &amp; Drum Samples &gt;&gt;<\/button><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/tcustomz.com\/consulting.html\" target=\"_blank\"><button class=\"btn btn-large btn-danger\" type=\"button\">1-ON 1 MUSIC PRODUCTION\u00a0COACHING &gt;&gt;<\/button><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1AJ9aDx\"> How To Add Effects to Sampled Beats &gt;&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In one of the recent beat-making videos I had uploaded, I received a question about how to <strong>remove drums from sample<\/strong>.
