Essential Elements of Electronic Music

Kick Drums

The foundation of most EDM:

• Four-on-the-floor (house, techno)
• Breakbeats (DnB, breaks)
• Half-time (dubstep)

Bass

Drives the energy:

• Sub bass (low frequency foundation)
• Mid bass (presence, movement)
• Bass drops (impact moments)

Synths

Create melody and texture:

• Leads (main melody)
• Pads (atmosphere)
• Arps (rhythmic interest)

Builds and Drops

Create tension and release:

• Filter sweeps
• Risers
• Snare rolls
• Impact drops

Creating the Perfect Drop

Prompt for Drop Moment

"EDM track with 32-bar build starting minimal, adding layers progressively, white noise riser, snare roll intensifying, massive drop at 1:00 with full energy release"

Elements of a Good Build

1. Start minimal
2. Add elements gradually
3. Use automation (filters, volume)
4. Create tension with risers
5. Pay off with impactful drop
