Eurorack drum tips feat. Winter Plankton Dassbrum & Zaps

This is the first of two videos that I’m making about drums in Eurorack. In them, I’m going to combine some demos of specific modules with more general patching tips and techniques. In this one, I'm focusing on two modules from Winter Plankton - a collaboration between Winter Modular and Plankton Electronics. I’m using Dassbrum, which is their all-new kick drum module, and Zaps, which has been around for a couple of years now. I met the guys behind these modules at Machina Bristronica last year, and they’re kindly sponsoring this video. But rather than just doing straight-up sound demos, I thought this would be a good opportunity to dive a bit deeper into various approaches to making beats in a modular synth context. One thing I forgot to mention is that there's a jumper on the rear of Dassbrum that lets you use the Fold CV input to change the fold type (rather than the amount), which opens up even more sonic possibilities!
