When I was asked by my publisher to composer a selection of drum-only tracks aimed at action comedy trailers I thought that they would only ever land smaller placements and not be used that much...how wrong I was. These action comedy drum (ACD) tracks are an untapped goldmine in the trailer music world!
Right now, you really want to start writing trailerised drum tracks but you find yourself struggling to even produce interesting rhythms let alone comprehensive trailer tracks. Despite your aspirations, you lack confidence in working exclusively with rhythm and frequently depend on harmony and melody to create tension and build in your compositions. Leaving you feeling uncertain about your ability to fully realize your musical vision....is this you?
ππΌ
You struggle to come up with interesting rhythmic ideas
You rely too heavily on chords, ostinatos & melodies to create interest
You want to write drum-only tracks but just don't know where to start
After completing this course, you'll emerge with newfound confidence and skill in producing drum-only tracks for action, comedy, and drama trailers.
Armed with a deep understanding of rhythm and its power in cinematic music, you'll effortlessly translate single, simple rhythms into captivating trailer tracks that effectively build tension and excitement, allowing you to confidently showcase your talent and creativity in the world of trailer music composition.
I started writing music for movie trailers in 2011. Then in 2017 I started teaching other people how to write music for trailers too.
Writing trailer music can be very daunting. On the one hand you have to write great ideas, often recorded yourself, then produce them to the highest possible standard. All from the comfort of your own studio. Or in my case, front room.
Learning to do this is tough, frustrating and sometimes gets you down. That's why I started creating courses. To help make writing music for trailers, ads, TV (and for fun) as simple and as straightforward as reading a book.

Pain Hustlers - Official Teaser
One of my action comedy drum tracks was used in the teaser for the Pain Hustlers teaser. It beautifully sets up the pace and build of the teaser whilst adding that awesome sense of cool and casual. In the course, I show you how I did this and how you can do this too π€πΌ
The Banker - Official Trailer
My track was used in the first act of this trailer to create the set up for the story. It feels cool and casual and gives the editor the space and lead-up to Samuel L. Jackson's punchline. This is a textbook use of the action comedy drum tracks in trailers.
Britney vs Spears - Official Trailer
My track was used to mark the intro of Act 2 in this trailer. It brings the sense of pace, tension and build that creates a great feeling of anticipation for the title card, and of course the release of the documentary.
In this module of the course, I introduce what you will be learning and what you can expect to get out of the course.
In this module, I give you a handful of trailer references that have used ACD tracks well. I then give you 3 complete track walkthroughs of some of my tracks that have landed on movie trailers.
In this module, I breakdown what makes up an ACD track and then proceed to create a complete tracks from the ground up. All the while explaining my choices and how you can do it yourself.
In this module, I create some ACD tracks from scratch using various sample libraries so you can see my entire thought process, see which libraries work best and how you can best utilise them.
At the heart of this course is the ability to embrace simple-yet-punchy rhythms. I decided to save you some time and create a MIDI pack of a collection of 8 bar rhythms that you can use in your next track.
One afternoon I recorded myself clapping 1000 times, cut the audio to create one giant clap and turned it into a MIDI instrument. A crowd of me clapping ππΌ

Yes, you do need to be able to use a DAW so you can follow along with the videos.
Nope, you can use whichever DAW you please as long as you know how to use it.
The wonderful thing about this, and all of my courses is that I try to steer clear of getting too deep into theory. You will be at an advantage if you know how to harmonise the major/minor scales but aside from that you won't need any theory.
I am so blessed to have had the amazing mixing and mastering engineer Toby Mason produce an hour-long masterclass in Trailer Music mixing and mastering. He shows you how to mix and master your music to a Hollywood standard within the course.
Of course not! What I can say is that of all the composers and producers who have taken this course, the ones who are getting work as trailer music composers are the ones who put the hours into their work. They also happen to be super nice people (industry secret there)
