The standard rhythm of a kick and snare is easy to create. Modern beat-making software allows even a complete beginner to quickly create a reasonably good rhythm. There is one very practical trick that skilled producers use to make their drum loops truly get people dancing Trance Music - Free Flowing Electronica - Have you ever found yourself dancing in a club, utterly absorbed in the melody, feeling as if the trance music is flowing through you and guiding your body's movements? This is an experience I've had numerous times during carefree nights at local techno clubs I've often wondered which type of techno generates this unforgettable sensation… .

The rhythm is meant to drive the song. In its simplest form, a beat consists of just one percussive instrument. While this is often enough to establish a strong pulse for other instruments or vocals to play over, adding a second percussive sound greatly expands the rhythmic possibilities.

Modern beats rely on the kick and snare. Hi-hats, toms, and other sounds are simply ways to enhance the basic rhythm provided by these two sounds. Failing to achieve a good kick sound is one of the main reasons …

Wireless headphones… Just recently, I was on an airplane, watching the in-flight movie and listening to the audio through my headphones. The person in the seat next to me needed to use the restroom, so I stood up to let them pass. Unfortunately, the cable got caught on the armrest and ripped the earbud out of my ear. It was painful, and when I sat back down and inspected my earbud, I noticed that one of the wires had come loose.
