Discuss what producers preferred method is

Madlib: Drums first

Kendrick’s producers (on TPAB): Drums and bass first

40: Melody or sample first

J. Cole: Drums first

Pete Rock: Drums first

Mike Will: Drums first

Kanye: Sample first

9th wonder: Drums first

producers that start with drums kiss their father on their mouth

drums first almost always
but sometimes u just be digging and find that chop or a nice melody on some keys

That’s basically majority of the producers mentioned in OP

can confirm

Sample/Melody
Percussion
Bass
Drums

for me

Mike Will is drums first

Word? Any source?

dance producers got it easy
4 on the floor

the right answer

:35

I'm a guitarist so I always start with melody

Your drums must be bland as f***

sample. Of course. Makes no sense the other Way around.

ppl who start w drums dont know music theory

Word.

Always different

But the ones I did with drums first always hit the hardest because the bounce was set in stone

Ye was always sample first till Yeezus iirc

Everyone itt saying to start with the melody but most big producers start with drums... It really makes you think

People who can’t have no groove tbh

Right lol

Even tho some the best sample based producers start with drums first?

Depends on what you’re making. If you’re doing boom bap it makes perfect sense to do drums first, then chop a sample accordingly to put on top of it
