Thanks! That's exactly what I was going for. I've been a singer in multiple cover bands over the years, so it is good to add some of the vocals to my fingerdrumming programs. :)
We need more of this. How you're chopping stuff, assigning samples, thought process. You're top notch. Would love to see where you're brain is at when creating a song.
What I think is particularly cool about the comeback of jungle is people finally exploring all the other adjacent realms of techno that jungle can slide in and out of and vice versa. As listeners we’re getting treated to the best of all worlds and if you’re a producer you’re privy to some of the best resources and technology ever made to find your own niche in these subgenre blends. Shit rocks.
@@sweetsweetmeat I see a lot of people inspired by people who have put their own take on the genre as well. So, it’s definitely evolving. I’m all 90s Everything from jungle to techno/house/boombap, whatever. So, trying to do my best to pay homage to the vibes while also doing my own thing
For sure! :) There is a full set of mine on the Hospital Hub Live youtube, and I will be posting lots of fresh ones on Patreon... now that I just launched a page there. :)
I’d originally think this is how things was done in 95 when I had no clue about making beats. I mainly draw my beats but I do badly want to learn this approach live style. Wicked man.
Thanks! Been a drummer most of my life, so it is like second nature to me at this point. Always challenging myself to push the limits though, so talking in this one... maybe jumping jacks while playing in the next one LOL

This is so great, I was looking for explanation videos on your channel this morning and then I see this 😭 You’ve done so well here, thank you and looking to more!
This video rules so much and I am so totally subscribing to your Patron the moment it's up, your work has always been the single biggest inspiration for my finger drumming and it's super exciting to hear you talk about your process. 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much! Can't wait to interact on the Patreon, and look forward to sharing lots more about the beginnings of Jungle Finger Drumming, my process, and a lot more. Cheers!
Thank you so much, Spinscott, for this video. I love your super cool style. I started finger drumming Jungle after watching your videos, which have always fascinated me. I'm thrilled that you made a video with a brief explanation of your technique. You are the best!
Thank you so much for sharing this info about how you work. It's really interesting and I'm glad to hear it, even though I produce in a totally different way. Especially showing that you do make mistakes, that is important. I've been watching for many years now, thanks for the good vibes!
Thanks for the longer form video with explanation! Seeing you rock on the MPC, and Fred on his Maschine, has me want to get it into it. Gotta wait for next payday before I get that bit of luxury for myself! Makin music's definitely a hobby that gets out of hand quickly.
Ha, thanks! I have always taken an organic approach to growing this thing, which is a slow growth. There are many not-so-humble ways to get internet famous quickly, but I don't agree with them. I'll be making some very interesting posts about all this soon. ;)
As someone who grew up in the jungle age and was not rich enough to own records or any hardware as a kid I am now in a position in my life now to buy gear. This is great to hear from you and very inspirational as well! Also, your track reminds my of the opening of fist of the north start series the American version. Thanks for this video!
Thanks so much for this! I didn't have much gear growing up either, and remember doing my first mixes on two second-hand belt drive turntables with pitch wheels, while all the cool kids had 1200s. I was always told it is not about having all the pricey gear, but what you can do with what you have.. and that is quite true. Congrats on getting into hardware. :)
@@spinscott thanks so much for the reply❤️ and as it stands I have a small volca set up and doing some real fun stuff with them! I’m currently saving up for an MPC AKAI🎶 your videos breaking stuff down is very informative and extremely helpful people like myself, keep up the great work my friends and I love your stuff🫶🏽💯🎶
Dude thanks so much, this ruled. Would love to hear you break down more the process and idea behind your pad lay outs. Do you tend to cut the amen break parts to particular pads (kick here, snare here, etc) or is it a different process per beat. Its something Im having trouble with
I’d be Interested to know how you get everything sounding the way you do? I’ve always thought maybe you mastered your performance afterwards but there it is coming straight out of the sampler sounding great.
Hey spinscott. Thanks for the great explanation. Have you thought about sharing your samples and maybe making longer videos on how you play your breaks? Would love to learn to play how you do it!
Thanks for asking! I have just launched a Patreon where I will be offering a lot of this type of deep-dive content. Grateful to be getting some interest there, and will be doing some higher level stuff here as well.
I want to hear you play with some samples with a lot of bass in them bro. You got the best rhythm of any DNB I've heard but for whatever reason the sub bass doesn't come threw on your tracks as much as Id like. There has to be a way to get some room rattling bass chopped in samples you can play along with your crazy beats. Seriously tho brother the way you play samples has been a huge inspiration to me. Both for my producing and my drumming.
Thanks! Most, if not all, of my programs have low end and sub bass layers that come through really well on larger speaker systems. My programs and freestyles are designed to be performed live at tour gigs, and sometimes the low end in some of my earlier videos doesn't come through as well on small computer or phone speakers. The newer ones have a lot more dynamics in the bass, which should sound solid. I spend a lot of time on the mixing and mastering of the sound at the sample level, so hope that's working. :)
Thank you for the vid! I would like to see how did you prepare a set (or a song) from scratch, it would be awesome. I begin to do this on the SP404 on the channel (it has 10 banks of pad samples!) and I would love to learn from you.
Any chance of developing Spinscott sample packs? The biggest challenge for me (besides my lack of finger drumming skill) is sourcing great layered one-shot chops - with the kick plus bass or snare plus bass that work in the drop. I can use the flatten pad function or resample but sometimes you just want to bang out a choon!
Would love to know how you process the one hits. Even just some hints. Like do you use akalizer? An old rack mount akai? Do you have to go heavy on any delay or reverb to fill in the digital silence or just drag the ends out with warping of some kind. The way it sounds is so fluid. Ps I think one of the most underrated and probably my favorite jungle album (when though it's probably better defined as drum and bass -referring to this album) is breakbeat era -breakbeat era. Even if you don't do in depth videos about your behind the scenes processing I think this format for your videos going forward is the right move. Good luck!!
Thanks for asking! I use a lot of different process to get the one-shots to flow smoothly, with the goal of making these live freestyles & routines sounding just like fully produced Jungle tracks. I'll be sharing some of that at a high level here on the channel, and will be deep diving with lots of detail on my new Patreon in the coming weeks/months. Breakbeat Era is great! Roni SIze & DJ Die are major players! I love all their stuff on Dope Dragon and Full Cycle as well.
Mr spinscott idk if you’ll see this comment but thank you for being my jungle catalyst.one question though: why is it that you only use two fingers when finger drumming?is it because your drumming background,stiff pads or just reminds you of drumming in the car? Do you think you would be too powerful using 3 fingers on each hand?
nice...i was kinda waiting for you to take this route. you have all the substance. once the views come in and you figure out that weekly content is what youtube wants...pls dont ;)
You should approach Roland about programming sample presets and templates for their hardware. They would definitely sell loads of units with your sounds preloaded as templates. Amazing stuff mate keep em comming.
Thanks for doing this! I have an mpc1000 too, I tried doing what you do and I can say the breaks are straight forward and fun but you always had me stumped on the basslines. I was layering bass one shots on my kicks and snares. Are you triggering longer samples with your thumb for basslines and melodic bits? Your hands are a blur! Much respect sir Scott!
Thanks!! Cool that you have a 1000 as well. I have several different techniques for triggering the sustained one-shots, and do use my thumbs for that quite a bit in some of the videos.
@@spinscott Thanks for the reply. It's easier to see when you are on the pioneer. Anyway, I totally know where that grin comes from. There is just this wave of satisfaction when you are at one with the break. Cheers! Absolute legend!
@@spinscott I been into jungle since the Original Nuttah came out and your music is if that caliber and more. Is important to live in the present, but you bring back the old days with a level of freshness. Amazing skills too!
@Spinscott When setting up your MPC-1000, do you have a preferred setup for particular instruments on certain pads? I’m asking because it looks like in a lot of your videos I see a common pattern of three pads being used to make the beats. It looks like you may also be dividing the MPC-1000 as a whole into 4 quadrants, each with its own mini-set. TIA!
Thanks for asking! I continue to utilize the original layout and technique that I created back in 2012, but it has evolved extensively. I'm right handed, so that influences how I place the samples quite a bit, but to answer your question, there are a few different core layouts that I use in these performances. Quadrants is one of them, and I will be offering some deep-dives into that one and others on my new Patreon.
