  • sites.google.c... is a short clip of some practice of up-tempo Drum n Bass / Breakbeat style drums. I modified the sticks with some zills for some stochastic sound, and generally play it free form. In the real world I would be using a metronome to keep things honest, but it gives you an idea of the styles I'm working on.

    Some of the hardest stuff to play is downtempo, in-the-pocket groove. It doesn't get much attention, but it's a different kind of challenge. Also, playing stuff with ostinatos and independence may not sound as interesting, but is a mental workout...

  • @Edwordless

    The style came from the Amen, but there are lots of variations. The Amen Break is a very specific 4 bar sequence, but by no means invented that particular groove. Similar rhythms are found in African drumming from way back. That same groove is found in hip hop, alt rock, among other styles. The most interesting dnb to me really reinvents with creative grooves, such as Plug or KJ Sawka. Just like anything, we're all using the same basic voices and vocabulary to create new sentences in music...

  • @Leon-Noir
    @Leon-Noir 4 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    This is authentic and quality drum and bass. He is killing those amen beats. Absolutely outstanding. If you love this, you need to listen to jungle, dnb from 93 to 98

  • @WannabeGadd
    @WannabeGadd 15 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Excellent! 8D You know, what amazes me with these breakbeats is how they've done a full circle - human drumming was sampled, cranked up another 100 BPM, creating a blazing sound with chops never heard before, and now human drummers are emulating what was once tweaked up on a computer and it sounds even better! 8D

    A lot of drummers can drum but don't have the knowledge of what happened in the council estate flats with bedroom producers chopping up breaks and programming to sound live,funky,and also unique.
    This drummer knows the style,the rolls,and the feel.

      Joche Lito It starts with a mix of the standard paradiddle and #6 from Stone’s single beats page (rllr lrrl). Add in som buzz strokes, some standard 8th groove with buzzes, and speed it all up! Listen to Plug: Drum n bass for Papa. That was a big inspiration. (You can find it here on TH-cam)
