You can even program more notes such as the last beat in bar 2. We’re using “Clap Abstract 5” from Ableton’s Skitter and Step pack.ĭrag any order of notes from the hi-hat pattern to the new channel. Load any sound you wish onto the next channel in the Drum Rack. However, you can make up for this by “stealing” notes from the hi-hat pattern. In Step 1 the “Drums to MIDI” algorithm did not detect the ever-important ghost notes on the snare. We used “Dazz_Hat_Closed_01” from Splice’s Jordy Dazz – The Sample Collection Vol 1 kit. Lastly, add some reverb to the clap, but not too much!Ĭopy the hi-hat MIDI pattern from Step 1 and paste it to the hi-hat channel in the piano roll. As we did with the kick, program an additional hit in the final bar for some variation. Add this sound or any sound you wish to the Drum Rack.Ĭopy the snare MIDI pattern from Step1 and paste it to the clap channel in the piano roll. We’ve used a clap sound, “JAY_DEE_vol_02_kit_11_clap”, from Splice’s The Fantastic Sounds of Jay Dee AKA J Dilla kit. The original drum break had a snare on the downbeat but Skee Mask often uses claps or other textures instead of snare drums. Having variation keeps things interesting and sounding more human. Lastly, keep the velocities as they are or tweak to taste. To change things up a little, add one more kick during the fourth bar. We’ve gone with “BOI1DA_kick_08” from Splice’s Boi-1da Soundkit.Ĭopy the kick MIDI pattern from Step 1 and paste it into the piano roll on the new track. Make a 4 bar MIDI clip with a kick one shot. Don’t delete the audio channel from Step 1. Step 2Ĭreate a new MIDI channel and insert a Drum Rack. As the drum break has a natural swing, the MIDI part reflects this with the notes played off-grid. Right-click and select “Convert Drums to MIDI.” This will create a new MIDI track with a Drum Rack armed with a random drum kit. Our break is 146BPM so we set the tempo accordingly.

Step 1ĭrag a drum break into an Audio Channel. If you find this tutorial helpful you might also enjoy our book “The Secrets of Dance Music Production“. The anonymous German producer tends to use lots of rolling rhythms in his craft and we are exploring where his beats have that rolling jungle and D&B edge. This technique is regularly employed by Skee Mask and his Ilian Tape label mates.
