What I like about the course the most is its systematic and comprehensive approach. From the physics behind a kick drum to the comparison between classic drum machine kicks * in context* to tricks for making modern sounding techno kicks, not only have I learnt something new but the course also helps me connect concepts I already knew. Highly recommended
