Drum turnarounds are those little moments of “refreshing your ears” at the end of a drumloop. Let’s look at one technique to make turnarounds, a.k.a. the glitch turnaround! To do this we use the glitch plugin of our choice (in this case Reason’s effect rack), resample it to audio, and layer it in to create ear candy and diversity to our drumtrack.
