There are loads of teachers on TH-cam. Loads show what they do. A few show how they do it. But fewer still show the "why". That's the hardest part to teach. You are killing it.
Believe it or not, that's exactly how i do ! I was doing this unconsciously till now and you reveal to me my own the process ! Based on that, I think I could improve a lot more now !!! Thank you for this. Very good tutorial as usual and, even when the technical side is addressed, the musical side is never put aside. Peace !
looking at an old video of yours, feels great how much you have improved just in a year Navie :)) Your delivery , video quality and the onscreen confidence have immensely improved !!!!
@@NavieD that’s how it’s supposed to be :))) isn’t it great to see your youtube grow and she takes you along with her growth ! Best reality check tool ever haha
I usually put a very short reverb on my drumbus to get the feeling of an acoustic drum break play in a room. And sometimes I boost / cut some frequencies for all the drums for the same reason
Man, this video is so helpful to me. I've always just assumed hihats are supposed ot sound thin and just occupy the high end. What a difference this has made.
Tip what I've liked to do sometimes: layer the same sample with itself using different processing. For example using some parralel distortion or compression and dialing that in with the original sound can really bring out punch or depth
1. a disjointed or genre-violating kit is totally fine, provided it’s serving a purpose and is intentional - that’s how new (sub)genres are born. but this is good advice for people trying to recreate the established boom bap sound 2. a good way to get free cohesion is to apply all of your drums to the same processing (eg same plate reverb, same saturator/tape, same compressor, etc)
You are the better way to learn about boom bap Beats. I'm from Colombia, and... We dont have content like this in spanish. We dont have content like this in LATAM. You should translate your tutorials and subtitle them into Spanish. You would have a great audience in Latin America. Your way of teaching is very didactic. Thanks 🙌🙌 Love your videos.
@@NavieD Yeah, it's something I've never tried before, but recently your work for My Friend Pedro blew me away. Anyway, whatever videos you decide to make, keep up the great work!
@@NavieD I typically do melodic stuff actually, due to classical training in piano and whatnot. I have a lot to learn when it comes to producing beats. What advice do you have for a beginner?
@@dido1517 oooh cool. How about you shoot me an email with a beat or two that you've come up with and I can maybe give better advice based on where you're at
BEST BOOMBAP DRUM TUTORIAL EXPLANATION HANDS DOWN! I do boombap joints as well but I have trouble explaining boombap to a predominantly trap producer aka my brother Q. Thx Navie I'mma use this to help explain.
Great content as always - Wondering what lead you to move away from maschine? Noticed you use FL in newer videos. I use maschine for boom bap style production, and certainly understand some of the arrangement pitfalls, but would love to hear your perspective
@@NavieD Looks like that decision paid off! I also signed up for the wait list of your course - do you foresee any issues with me using maschine as my daw (i know its not a full daw) should I enroll?
dope video - very insightful. One tip - clave is pronounced like "klah-vay" (it means key in Spanish and is the nucleus of Afro Cuban music). Love your channel bro
Good vid. Only the other day did I laye drums for the first time ever and my god what a difference. I have decent drum kits but I got sick of using the same few sounds again and again. Layering creates a whole new sound. I reccomend tinkering with the levels to get the sound you want. So for snares, raise and lower between the two to see what fits your beat. Pitching is another thing I always do and adding slight reverb. Deff reccomend adding a sub kick beneath your primary kick. The final tip i would give to anybody which too many wanna be producers seem to fail to do is make sure your drums are fucking banging. You don't wanna go too nuts obviously coz you'll get ear ache, but having a loud punchy kick and snare that cracks over the top (with the right pattern) can often make even the most bang average "album filler" track that much better and head bobbing
Navie D. No problem man hope to see it in a future video 💪 is there anyway you can check out my newest beat and tell me how the mix and master sounds on it it like a old school boom bap lofi sounding one
@@NavieD You put in to words what I never could quite verbalize with the way that boom-baps drums should sound like they "came from the same break". You've earned a sub - I look very forward to more of your content.
@@deadcalloway2524 hahah thank you so much, that's definitely what I want to try and do with my videos. A lot of times I see tutorial videos use vague terms that don't make much sense so I want to try my best to make these concepts understandable to everyone.
great video for boom bap drums got a video for scoping out warm samples for boom bap like the one you used in this video please thanks again for the relevant and direct content provided in this video cheers
Really like your content and nice explanation. One question is when I master my boombap track and I do all the stereo shapping, multiband compression, etc, it messed up with my boombap kick sound and makes it sounds like an EDM kick. Do you know how should I fix this problem or I just master the wrong way? Only my kick got distorted heavily after mastering :(
Hey Navie, One quick question. You said in the beginning you want more full hi hat. Hi hats aren't meant to be more in high ends? Also doesn't it cover the other instruments?
There are a great many high hats drummers use, depending on the alloy used, the shape etc. A drumkit is a musical instrument, it has a tone as well. Drummers spend a lot of time and money on their sound. So some hats have more bottom end, some more high end. Navy D points out something verry important, the samples used should sound like the came of the same drumkit. But not the actual drumkit (like drummers use to crowd public transport with) but the recorded drumkit. If you build a drumkit it should sound like a cohesive recording sounds.
thanks a lot big B... much love n respect... your tutorials are damn helpful... bro whenever u make tutorials remember there are below average students like me... who don't even understand the UI properly.. thanks for your reply brother
Hi~ Im back(? I'm looking your videos and I got a kind of feeling on my body... It's like "oh god.. I need so much to learn, why I'm not do that before?" Because i like to produce music.. I try to do music like HLM soundtrack.. (I never show it because the song remain to short.. like 40secs o less x,3 Do you have any advice to that?). Music To Banana To feels like all I want to do in the future.. and thats why I watch your videos.. This 3C Method Is basic and helpful i will try implement this on my future proyects.. One last question.. Do you know if there are differences between "fl studio" and the program you use? sorry I ended up doing a testament or something like that xDD Have a good day!
Glad you learned something from the video! If you're just starting out, I don't think there's any problem with just coming up with short ideas and trying to get better like that. I would say don't feel the pressure to make a masterpiece when starting. I was bad for years before I was able to create a full song. As for the difference between FL studio and what I use, they all have their small differences but at the end of the day, no tool is better than the other. I'd say just pick one and learn it
I rate your videos would love somebody on youtube to just stop using packs, make one unmonetised video showing drum breaks and vinyl samples. Real boom bap the production the og purist way.

could you do more boom bap type vids

I usually put a very short reverb on my drumbus to get the feeling of an acoustic drum break play in a room. And sometimes I boost / cut some frequencies for all the drums for the same reason
Definitely a good way to get a uniform, cohesive feel to the drums
c'mon Luc, share your boom baps :)
Man, this video is so helpful to me. I've always just assumed hihats are supposed ot sound thin and just occupy the high end. What a difference this has made.
Really helpful stuff I was sitting there wondering what more could I add to my drums then I remembered I saw a video on your channel on boom bap drums
👌 hopefully you got the info you were lookin for homie
Great video, a lot of simple and helpful tips for someone trying to learn the ropes. Thanks!
Excellent, thank you man! I am going to be putting out another video on making these types of drums soon so hopefully you enjoy that one too!
Tip what I've liked to do sometimes: layer the same sample with itself using different processing. For example using some parralel distortion or compression and dialing that in with the original sound can really bring out punch or depth
just wanted to say that thanks to your videos man my game seems to elevating! thanks for the free kit
Very helpful tutorial thank you sir!
Thank you navie for makingme understand the what,where,how and why :) I really owe you so much!! Your existence alone is such a gem!
Hahah thank you Hila! It's nice to see people are enjoying the more in-depth explanations
You’re one of the more helpful ones , and thanks for the free drum kit my guy . Loved the album
I am here to help! What kinda music do you produce?
bro will never know what music he produced@@NavieD
1. a disjointed or genre-violating kit is totally fine, provided it’s serving a purpose and is intentional - that’s how new (sub)genres are born. but this is good advice for people trying to recreate the established boom bap sound
2. a good way to get free cohesion is to apply all of your drums to the same processing (eg same plate reverb, same saturator/tape, same compressor, etc)
This formula straight works!
Just checked u out fam just now and ur dope man 👍🏻

genuinely useful info.
thanks a lot bro for the tips, i just bought a mpc studio and i m try figure it out,anyway i love your channel

That example with the bad drums 😂
i appreciate your existence 🙏🏼
Well that is a nice thing to say. Thank you man
You’re the man 👌🏻
Up bro
Great tips!
Thanks for this tutorial. Can you make a tutorial on how to arrange a beat that would be super helpful
Ooooh I actually wrote out a bunch of videos where I am going to start talking about arrangement. You're just in luck.

Great Navie!!
You're videos are really helpful man thank you!!! Can you make a video how how to master boom bap beats in fl studio ?
🙏🏽 thank you my friend, I'm glad you enjoyed my vids. Mastering boom.bap or mixing boom bap?
Navie D. Is there a way you can do both mixing and master ?
@@KidEskomo true, that would be a good idea. Thank you for the idea brother
Navie D. No problem man hope to see it in a future video 💪 is there anyway you can check out my newest beat and tell me how the mix and master sounds on it it like a old school boom bap lofi sounding one
@@KidEskomo can you shoot me an email with the link? It'll be easier to give you advice through e-mail rather than a TH-cam comment

👀 Old Rare Maschine Video
great video for boom bap drums
got a video for scoping out warm samples for boom bap like the one you used in this video please
thanks again for the relevant and direct content provided in this video cheers
Honestly, you can turn most samples "warm" using plugins. Saturators are huge for this. Good idea for a video though man, thanks!
@@NavieD No worries
Cheers for providing an alternative
Now I got a lead to follow
Do you think that you could boost the frequency where you add another snare or hihat
Really like your content and nice explanation. One question is when I master my boombap track and I do all the stereo shapping, multiband compression, etc, it messed up with my boombap kick sound and makes it sounds like an EDM kick. Do you know how should I fix this problem or I just master the wrong way? Only my kick got distorted heavily after mastering :(
Hmmm not sure what is happening there. I plan on doing beat review livestreams soon so maybe you can send that in so I can take a listen
@@NavieD Sure please let me know the instructions (How to send). Liked and Subscribed :D
But why layer the hats for example when you cut the lows anyway ?
Thanks bro
Great Stuff!
Thank you man! Sometimes I forgot I made this video waaay back hahah
Navie D. More Boom bap please!
awesome
Thank you Thomas!
Good video, can we get a how to use maschine series?
Ahh a fellow maschine user. I haven't used mine in a little while. How long have you been using yours?
Navie D. I use FL mainly, but I recently got a maschine mk1. Been looking for a good tutorial on how to use it.
@@robertcrans1448 gotcha. Are you using it inside of FL studio or seperately on its own
Navie D. Separately, I don’t understand it yet, so I haven’t messed with it much.
@@robertcrans1448 gotcha. What part are you struggling with, just the whole workflow?
Love that Rhodes-ish sound. Did you sample that or is it from an instrument/vst?
Thank you!
Massive!!!
I forgot I made this video!
Did you add reverb to your snare?
Definitely valuable information here. Thanks for your time and effort! 👌 CLS'd 😁

bruh will u plzzz make a chart of chord progressions ... numerical chart may be
Ahh music theory isn't my strong suit brother. It wouldn't feel right making a tutorial on something that I don't feel strong in.

Hahah awesome, glad I can help
@@NavieD love u ma guy things i never learnt in months...today i just learnt in some minutes after watching your videos!
you're dope as fuck man!
I think the kick is equally as important
That wrong kick at 10:30 kinda slaps tho lmao if you’re going for a more death grips/ yves tumor vibe hahaha
2:40 everybody leaves xD
It never occurred to me that the drums should sound like they came from the same break.
Thanks for the tutorial.
i dont understand dont talk about the note of the samples...
Intro similar to slinky beat
