But start simple, it takes time and practice until you can start to get a bit more technical.
Start learning basic finger drumming (for a simple hip hop beat I usually have a kick on pad 2, a closed hihat on pad 3, and a snare on pad 7, but put them wherever feels more comfortable/natural. The Ren and Studio come with lots of cool drum samples). Jeremy Ellis has some good beginner finger drumming lessons on Youtube.
I often put bass notes on the top row of pads
Do you know how to use vst plugins in the MPC software? (e.g. The Bank etc.)
You can make bass notes through a vst by programming in a long note (eg. 4bars or more), then export as a WAV or MP3, then you drag that sound file into the software and put it on one of the pads. If you switch it from 'One Shot' to 'Note On' in the Program menu (located in the Lfo Mod tab of the blue MPC screen, or under Pad Play Modes in the computer software) it will only play for as long as you hold it down.
Now you can try dropping really simple one-note/two-note basslines over a beat. My tip is to start ultra simple and just drop one bass note at the sametime as the first kick-drum in your simplebeat. It's tricky to get both hands working at the same time at first but gets loads easier after a while.
I hope this will help you get started and sorry I couldn't post a vid explaining it just yet but I really don't have the time right now. If there is anything on here you don't understand just let me know. (And anything else you want to know I'll do my best to explain)
