Physically Modelled Kicks with Ableton Collision - Part 1

In this 2 part video tutorial I show you how to create kick drums with Ableton’s instrument Collision.

Collision uses physical modelling technology that simulates the characteristics of mallet percussion instruments, but can be used in the creation of many other sounds.

We will use this technology to create organic sounding kick drums with something different from the usual beatbox flavour.

Either used my themselves or as a layer with other sounds this method is capable of producing endless customised kick drum possibilities.
