we have other percussions??? why am i still repeating myself lmao

the only good piece of music

willfully being dense

put some tarrifs on 808s

one of my fav thing about kanye songs is that he'll usually omit a certain sound element. hes got songs with like no hi hats and then another one wont have a kick. or maybe one of them will only have a kick. love that.

sometimes u gotta ask yourself if that element is adding anything

recently noticed how alot of asap rockys early music has little to no hi hats lol

its a reason for that lol

replace 808 patterns with open hats.
put the kick where the snare usually at.
clap replace hi hat pattern

new genre

i feel like im going crazy because we're on a kanye forum and people are saying how could we imagine a life without hats???? His BEST songs don't have hats man lmao

wow you can have trap beats without hi hats who would've guessed it

i like to f*** around with my own production and try to experiment with that but it hardly ever doesnt sound flat so i’ve been hella fascinated by those early clams beats bc of how full they sound. definitely a sound selection thing

one of my fav thing about jerk beats is how snares serve as both hat patterns and the snare itself

you know what i should just upload a version of f***ing american boy with hats because i hate y'all niggas so much

i do this ill take hi hat midi and use it for snares, or snare midi as 808s, its a rly cheap hack to get crazy drums

its about creating an atmosphere. the melodies are already "complex" so the drums gotta stay simple. You can only do one of the other. Either the melody is crazy and drums simple OR crazy drums simple melody.

facts.

unfort i drag my samples into the timeline so it's a bit tedious for me to replace the sounds of a pattern

the importance of contrast

and the kick/808 pattern

saturate tf outta everything , makes everything sound fuller

Cloud rap

You know so many genres in rap & electronic music are determined by the drums

because its the heart of the song.

other genres have different priorities though

so i added hi hats and s*** to American boy and this sound so f***ing dumb
