Seen a lot of people saying trap drums are getting played out (true)......what would y’all like to see instead drum wise, and how many options are there really?

more heavy/thick drums

very doable too. sometimes they get used but its rare. its needed.

would also like more static effects on snares, but thats a niche pick.

Can you give me some examples of thick drums

i dont have any actual of modern/recent stuff examples off the top of my head besides a few beats that ive sold myself & still selling, sometimes people ask me specifically for "different drums" too.

i can show you an example of "thick" snares through that if you want.

trap drums stale but idk what should replace it. Maybe bring back drum breaks in the meantime

Bump
People are always complaining about samey drums but they never give examples

A few users have but at the same time I wonder where else can s*** go?

Drum breaks has always been a thing in hip hop so that’s nothing new

And is it people are more so fed up with the combination of the drum sounds + 808 type baselines

I want breaks to come back, BALD! is a great example of a modern take on breakbeat style drums

Do you think Griselda implements those style of drum breaks

I think a lot the issues comes down to:

Same DAW
Same VST sounds
Same method of clicking in notes

Maybe I shouldn’t say DAW cus that’s just a matter of how you use it. But I think the same VSTs and sounds are being reused and I think when bedroom producers click in they notes it limits the creativity

Whatever fits the song

303s
707s

I love mixing different drum sounds together, lately ive been using old school drum machines sounds

Doubling drums with beatboxing

Definitely, I mean more in like an 80s rap style though

don't even mind trap drums tbh, but more experimentation would be nice. feel like it's less common to see producers create their own electronic drum kits.

Meant to reply to this, weird- pls see above

also, chopped up drum samples can be so f***ing powerful. just look at POWER

Faster tempos and patterns would be great too im getting really sick of the 60/120 bpm formula

Maybe tweak the drums a lil

Where you get your sounds from

What’s that what’s that

daw ain't even an issue tbh

Did you know that was the same drums used on Crack music and Blacker the berry (Kendrick)
