While thinking about how I’m going to redo the crash scene track, I came up with the idea of going for a movie trailer kind of vibe. I’m talking post-mid ’00s, where every trailer sounds like it’s advertising a Transformers movie. So I sat and watched two hours and a half of YouTube until I boiled the whole thing down to its core – the drums. Most of them don’t even have other instruments except for heavy percussion and very low booming synth bass. The formula is pretty simple actually, all you need to do is layer a variety of very snappy snares, on top of every single drum hit, throw in some synth sweeps – the kind that sounds like your washing machine when it’s on spin cycle and there you have it – trailer music. Throw in a few low-humming synth bass notes and it sounds amazing.
