1. full fledged samplers? some examples?
2. i guess on the mpc2000xl, the only way of getting rid of the hat on the kick is using the onboard EQ?
3. for the standard boombap, i usually quantize so the hat and the kickwithhihat usually fall on the same beat 1 & 3 so it doesn't bother me as much other then the fact that i hear 2 hats on those beats. im just going to try using lpf lower velocity for the 1/6th "pickup" kicks to keep the hats just straight 1/8ths.
4. for more dilla style drums, i feel like i just can't have the hat on the kick. i need the kick to be clean because i don't want the kick to have the hi hat hitting at the same time which is the case with a kickwithhihat.
5. i feel like a lot of drumbreaks have a hat on the kick because that's just how drummers play. are there examples of beats with a kickwithhihat? i feel like a lot of producers just use a track with clean kicks, snare, and hi hats on top of that. but sometimes when i listen to rza, dj krush, dj cam, some more raw breakbeat oriented artists, i feel like i hear them use the method peterthepipe presented. (the method where you just don't play the hat on the steps where the kickwithihhat are.) i guess that's why they are pros and have the experience, it just all meshes and flows so well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdeicBLIzAM^ are the hi hats not played in the steps there are a kick? the kick sounds like a kickwithhihat because the hat on the kick sounds different and quieter than hat on the & of 2, pretty much the hat after the snare.
sorry if im being a squareass and putting up questions as pointers and shit like we're in a classroom, i'm just trying to be articulate in my questions presented in this forum. just trying to get a lesson, i'm just hungry and these questions have been subconsciously been bugging me back from my beats sounding the way i want. i get the concept, but all these technical aspects of making a beat sometimes hold me back from what i want. none of my homies make beats so this forum is my only mpc community and for that, big ups and good looks!
