![]() ![]() Just sampled myself banging out drums every day numerous times a day (my fav is drums, has been since I was a little girl). For the first 6 months of making music, I would make drum loops on a sp404. Every single time you make a beat you will learn & gain skill. Experiment with all kinds of drum rhythms. So I fucked with the hi hats & figured out why I didn’t like it. When I started using quantize I hated how the hi hats sounded. I learned that I like my hi hats to hit a little later… everyone says “unquantized” when making Boom Bap/hip hop but there is more to it than that, which I learned by making drum rhythms. I mainly make Boom Bap, but it just happened, I never set out to make a specific style or genre, I just follow my ears & my heart…yea I know, but just go with what you feel, it’s all about feel. The best advice I can give is learn by doing & experimenting. Especially concerning drums, watch a beat making video, only listen to the drums, do what he or she does, there you go. That’s what a formula is in a way… the basic way to do something. ![]() Just a little late…feel it out…Ī lot of good advice in this thread, but honestly what confuses me is you say you want to learn the “formula” (even though in hip hop alone there are SOOOO many drum formulas it’s insane), but yet you are not fond of the videos you’re finding as they are cookie cutter. Keep doing this, put the kick in different places, hell put the snare in different places.īoom bap - hi hats come in a little late, so do the ghost notes…(for example the ba in ba-boom). Then start tappin on the hi hat…listen & feel…put them where it sounds good. Then just start tappin the kick…listen & feel…put the kicks where they sound good. (Edit, I previously said put the snare on the 3, but this is due to me not having any formal training…I just counted with the beat, 1,2,3,4 & the snare was on the 3, so looks like I have some studying to do. Or connect an MPC to a 606/808 and finger drum the funk! Modifying the tresillo creates some fantastically intricate and compelling rhythms.Īs for how to create really good breakbeats in the context of electronic music? Sample a real drummer that has ‘funk’ then chop those breaks up Once you learn what it is, you hear it literally everywhere. It is a syncopation that spans two bars of any basic one bar beat. The tresillo is a rhythmic phrase found in afro/latin/arabic music. however the placement of the ghost notes using a step sequencer is never as fluid and natural as someone playing the drums, due to the inherent nature of a step sequencer and having to program it. Translating the concept of ghost notes to a step sequencer means yes, lower velocity than the main notes. For a drummer this becomes instinctual, each drummer will accent a beat differently with ghost notes in different places, different velocities, even different voicing, eg ghost notes played on not just the snare but also the kick, hihats, toms, cymbals etc He received his doctorate in psychology and his MBA in health services administration from Widener University.Yes sort of, Ghost notes are softer notes played in between the main notes of the beat.
