I've been watching you for years, L. Dre, and I've gotta say, your style is unlike any other lofi producer. Super unique, chill, and groovy. Here's to a great 2022 man!🔥🔥
So I used to produce r&b back in the 90’s and 2000’s. Now I’m trying to make beats my side hustle. Way too many sources for info. But I keep coming back to your videos! I’ve learned a ton and have determined that you are a table and a template. Keep educating me bro!
This is really really an amazing video to start this great year off with! So many gems to make our beats hitting this year 💪 I listen to Ldre almost every day on Spotify, and I really also listen to other Lofi beat artists but I always fall back to Ldre because his beats are always just really unique and satisfying! No matter how much I listen to them. Ldre for real is the GOAT 🔥 I wish I could buy all your sample packs🔥
TBH, his explanation of swing was inaccurate. Swing isn't about playing off the grid. And simply shifting hihats and snares makes it sound more like the drums were badly played than the live feel of a really good drummer. I find that 50% or more of lo-fi drums sounds like it was played by a 5 year old. And I'm not trolling. This is fr how it sounds, lol.
Of all the "how to lofi drums" this is the real deal. It's not about "oh look here are 10 loops try them out" - this video ACTUALLY explains fundamental differences and aspects between lofi and other /general genres. ESPECIALLY that swing aspect is an eye opener since I'm just a filthy casual guitarist and singer :D. Creating drums for my lofi stuff has always felt like a battle. This video is really helpful af! 10/10 would recommend :D
Straight up - it is so helpful just to go back to the basics like this, even if you have been making music for years. I also really needed to hear the part at 7:06. I'm so guilty of wanting to do everything from foley, to piano, to drums from scratch. Even a tiny snippet of a loop can help launch the creative process. ✌
Super useful video as always, and the most important thing is that you show tips using very simple things (like moving the one-shots by hand) and not with complicated DAW features. Great work. 🔥
a cool trick i have found is the slice to new midi feature in ableton.. i basically slice a drum loop to it transients, and then it turns it into midi.. then i add a lofi drum kit onto the midi pattern , i get some really interesting kick and snare patterns , this helps me when im in beat block..
great tips as always! Loved the tip about not overdoing the kicks. I always look at it as the less often the kicks are there, the more of an impact they will have when they do hit 🔥
Yo you inspire me in so many ways and have helped me not to give up on my dreams, and myself.. Big up to you my man. Gonna buy that vol. 3 kit, sound fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The best answer to all the music production is: "SIMPLICITY". After many years doing beats and recording people I've realized that this is the key to everything 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man just found your channel!! Judging by this video Im going to spend some more tiemmm here :) Thanks for great help been looking for this basic to learn ^^ Nice video!! Wishing you luck with your future

Thank you Andre 🙏🏽
Simple. Concise. We love that about L.Dre. When we ask a question we get an answer. 🔥 Great way to start off the new year
Great stuff!! Fire fire fire!! 🔥🔥🔥
Yup, simple and concise instructions leave a lot of room for the student/producer to bring their own individuality to each track.
Video is short but full of gems! Thanks! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I can't believe I've spent this much time on Ableton and didn't know about the little Delay button. Lots of good tips in here 🔥🔥
Gem

Decap is the man! Probably gonna pick up your new kit one of these days after work. 🔥 as always
The part about textures!! 🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love listening to your beats when drawing in art class 🔥🔥🔥
Definitely trying delay on hi-hats from now 🔥🔥
Lofi Guys OG beat 👌🔥 Great tips L.Dre

Perfect timing. I’ve been trying to improve my drums lately. I’ve relied on loops too much in the past
fire bro
This is really really an amazing video to start this great year off with! So many gems to make our beats hitting this year 💪

Def gonna try this on my next remix 🔥🔥🔥
Perfect explanation for the swing. Upcoming producers bring back the feeling to the music to not sound so robotic 🔥🔥🔥

I find that 50% or more of lo-fi drums sounds like it was played by a 5 year old. And I'm not trolling. This is fr how it sounds, lol.
Loving the swing sauce 🔥
I don't understand why some people like the "swing sauce" (as you put it, lol). To me it sounds like bad playing. 🤷♂️
Another dope beat as usual. Thx for the tips. 🔥🔥beat btw
It’s actually 🔥 🔥🔥but it’s also so chill, so it’s 🧯
Thanks, this is a great help. I'm going to try using these tips on my lofi beats. Thanks again for dropping these 🔥 gems.

L.Dre for president 🔥🔥
