Dude this is EXACTLY the type of video I’ve been looking for for a long time!! Just a complied list of drum patterns from different genres and why they are the way they are. Thank you dude!!
Hi, Im a South African who is also a producer, just some clarification about Amapiano The bassline actually comes from the melody just that the drum pattern is similar to a hi-hat, there's no randomness. Thats the Nigerian version of Amapiano called OmoPiano
10:39 might've been important to note that the type of drill that's specified here is UK/Brooklyn drill, seeing as that sound has overtaken the whole of drill rather than the early Chicago sound (altho you did mention Cench & Pop)
@@vllissyeah for sure, the snares were definitely more active in the early stuff, as well as having more percussive elements at varying syncopation at the same time
Yes your correct on that with the Drill. he also misconstrued Trap sound It was taken out of Memphis Tennessee ATL TRAP was about the liifestyle more before adapting sound while emphasizing more on the hihat and snare.
You should do more Caribbean and African genres, like reggae, zouk, dembow, kompa, raboday, afro-raboday, afrobeats, calypso, soca, chutney soca, jab jab soca, bouyon, etc
I have never understood drum styles more than watching this video. Can you please do a part 2 with even more genres such as jazz, metal, pop punk, hyperpop, etc. ?
Have the content creator changed his username in the meantime? Why is everybody calling him Simon when I'm seeing a different name that is Servida Music?
This was amazing. Bossa Nova actually does have certain snare drum patterns known as claves which is similar to samba, salsa, and other Afro Cuban styles. Great video and I think very informative for producers looking for a quick way to understand different genres
best drum tutorial ive seen, edutainment at its finest super engaging - you got some bangers in this too. Also love the creative use of content-aware fill to make use of the spaces you found outside, sick work bro.

This is such an incredibly produced TH-cam video. The visuals were clear, reactive, and interesting. The tempo varied but kept you engaged. It was super educational and inspired me to discover and make more music, because the beats were SO good. Genuinely one of the most well-made videos I’ve seen in a long time. Instant subscribe
Here from Jamaica, it's not often that a non-Jamaican based producer makes a really good beat that you can tell on first listen "yup, I can envision hearing that as I walk through Downtown or Spanish Town". Props to you Simon. Also, good Patwah.
Wanted to notice that Jungle (mostly old school 80-90's) often chops the breaks to make many variations of the drums throughout the song. This makes Jungle much more complex than D'n'B.
Честно, я просто в восторге от звука хардстайла на 15:19, так как это относительно просто, но одновременно не звучит скучно и при этом дает драйва. Я в восторге и жду скорее вторую часть!!!
Hi, great video! Id like to mention that “chopping” the breakbeats is also a large facet of jungle music. If youre interested in some of the weirder evolutions of jungle look up Venetian Snares, they make breakcore which nowadays is a highly diverse genre that some people even group DNB into
i dont usually write comments but this video absolutely deserves one. Every other youtuber would probably spend 10 mins talking about each genre and yapping but bro u managed to talk about 20 genres in 15 MINUTES!! thats fucking crazy. i love this video def gonna use what u taught me
This is one of the most well-made videos I've seen in a long time. The editing, the scripting, the explanations, the videography, the actual music itself, the comedy, EVERYTHING. As a content creator, I TRULY appreciate what you've done here. It's really difficult to make a video like this. What an amazing video - thanks!
13:41 Dude, I've been wanting to do Jungle for many months now, and you explained better than other videos I saw before. I couldn't understand the others because I'm still struggling with FL studio, but you made it easier for me to understand it (srry for bad english tho)
I don't know what it is about DnB/Jungle/Breakcore, but that shit highjacks my brain. It's at just the right tempo where I can enjoy the halftime and fulltime equally depending on the other track elements.
amazing video!!! just one detail I would like to add, bossa nova has samba as one of its bases so it is not played in 4/4 but rather 2/2 or 2/4. funk also is manly composed on 2/2 and 2/4.
Simon gives you in 15 Minutes the whole music know how You ever need in your Life 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Love all Detailed explaination of the Genres with the Visuals on Point. Amazing Video 💯💯💯
Cool video, Learned a lot! As you explained (and showed) is that creating a hardstyle kick is very complicated (not really diggin’ it but respect for trying). Also, your melody is more like jumpstyle, which can be seen as a sub-genre of hardstyle that was popular mid to late 2000s.
It's so crazy how even though I've never thought too much about music I could recognize the style so clearly. It's like "that's 100% dancehall" within a few seconds. Great video. Great beats. Keep up the good work.
This is a very solid lesson for music production. drums is the mostly the foundation of every genre, mastering them will help any producer to be versatile with their creativity.
You literally covered all my favourite genres from my childhood until now!! Love this video, subbed + liked lofi boom bap regaeton trap soul amapiano bossa nova Brazillian funk Trap Drill D&B jungle HARDSTYLE (currently a hardstyle producer in NL)
The "Electronic Pop" section has a name and it's called Synthwave. Actually, most synthwave is more distinct in it's style than the pops songs you mentioned so give it a look in a future video maybe? =)
8:00 idk man, a shuffle rhythm in a track suddenly birthing out a new subgenre seems a bit out there, doesn't it? Black Skinhead bangs with that industrial edge, and Watch Me has this mediocre rap rock vibe - neither of them screams "new genre" just because of the shuffle. Hip hop has a rich tapestry of sounds in its repertoire, adding shuffle to the mix is just adding another thread, not a whole new tapestry.
i've been producing for many years now but videos like this are great to come back to every now and then! so important to keep up on the basics and stay grounded
Not only you say there is something wrong in the video, but you also add "A LOT"?? Can you at least tell us the wrong things in the video, mister drummer?
@@Libops First at 4:40 he calls a cross stick a rim shot. A cross stick is a low volume technique where you put your palm on the snare and rotate your wrist to hit the rim. A actual rim shot is a normal snare stroke except you hit both rim and drum head at the same time. This makes a much louder sound that adds more pop. Secondly he misses a key aspect of bossa nova drumming which is the "heartbeat" on the bass drum. The bass drum goes in doubles and you can easily find it with a quick search. He also messed up the snare explanation. the snare isnt just randomly syncopated, it normally hits on the 1, the and of 2, and the 4. then the next bar would be the 2, the and of 3. watch th-cam.com/video/CaIyWBbYrDc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XxEU4Fha_qXLZ2Na&t=188 He also calls a shuffle an "uneven pattern" But in reality its basically just triplets or swung triplets which would probably be more clear.

Wow, Simon you are a real G.O.A.T 😂😂 You just made me know what I never new and explode my head. You deserve a Grammy award ceremony. This is what many Producer should know so we know the kind of beats we are creating you Know some Producers will create a trap beat and call it a drill beat 😅😅😅

Hi, Im a South African who is also a producer, just some clarification about Amapiano

OmoPaino is not a real thing haha, sending love from Nigeria 🤍
@@0xGodedyeah ive never heard of it
😂Omopiano is crazy
this is afropiano dancehall drum groove
Lol as a South African I was also surprised by this type of Amapiano which unknown to me.
Live from a South African watching Simon analyse amapiano drum patterns
Im a whole producer enjoying this 😂
Couldnt believe the thumbnail lol
😂😂
But it’s so sad those out of our country just can’t produce Amapiano like us
@@smallb-kay6852 nah it's fantastic less room for unsubstantiated claims for the yano vcs
10:39 might've been important to note that the type of drill that's specified here is UK/Brooklyn drill, seeing as that sound has overtaken the whole of drill rather than the early Chicago sound (altho you did mention Cench & Pop)
This was even present in the Earlier Chicago Drill (specifically the music pioneered by DJ L to popularity)
@@kghostthegreat snare pattern different in chicago (and other places in the early days) on the 3 and 7. the UK modernized the 3,8 snare
@@vllissyeah for sure, the snares were definitely more active in the early stuff, as well as having more percussive elements at varying syncopation at the same time
Chicago hi hats had the crazy rolls aswell. Like it don't like by chief keef. They seem to of disappeared from all hip hop now, kinda miss em 😢😅
Yes your correct on that with the Drill.
he also misconstrued Trap sound It was taken out of Memphis Tennessee ATL TRAP was about the liifestyle more before adapting sound while emphasizing more on the hihat and snare.
You should do more Caribbean and African genres, like reggae, zouk, dembow, kompa, raboday, afro-raboday, afrobeats, calypso, soca, chutney soca, jab jab soca, bouyon, etc

not including jazz should be a crime 😭
maybe because jazz is the most unspecific genre when it comes to the drum pattern? Like many times it doesn't even have drums?
Jazz is probably the most diverse genre. With bpm ranging from 70 to 140 give or take.
Bossa nova is just another type of Jazz
I guess that's okay to say
