I got the 1000 when it came out and I didn't know a damn thing about kick and snare patterns. I just tried to copy the best I could what patterns I heard on songs without knowing what I was doing. I didn't know that the snares in basic beats fall on the same ticks, etc. etc.


I eventually learned, and practice and this forum have helped alot. (I still got piss poor rhythm though) Don't condemn someone for being new to something, cause I can guarantee EVERYONE was once in a similar position.

I dont wanna even get into it BUT

your really talkin some crazy stuff jaem
CATS do not bang in florida, its more drug crews, the cubans, the hatian mob(<--used to run tampa) the domicans. They dont battle for turf , they battle for control over the herion/coke connects.

THe only people that gang bang in florida are wannabies that wanna seem hard, that shit is ridiclous.. its a totally differnt culture and vibe. Its about the drugs in FL not the sets.....

I also find it suspious that cats are talking about their set on an internet forum. Both of yall can take it how u want but that just dosent make sense and its lame. WHy did this come up in the first place,,,,,,, how do i know ur not some suburban white boys tryin to be hard...

Ohh...Just incase u wanna call my credibility into play, im from jordan park projects in st petersburg, which are notorious in the tampa bay area.

Anyhow, lets get back to the music.............

class..

i was referring to moving back to chicago, not florida

and spent more than my share of time in leon county lock up...

they aint bangin in ther either

i'm aware of whats what in fla...when i first moved there cats was rockin madd bandanas and crazy colors with hats tipped every which way, but wasnt bout nothin

and it came up when dude started callin out hoods and talkin about flipping forks

to be honest i couldnt give half a fuk, i'm a neutron (as in i dont bang) i got guys on both sides (this has put in more than my share of problems)

Presto ! a basic and simple drum pattern try that out . . .


Translation to MPC terms:

Kick at:
1= 001.01.00,
4= 001.01.72,
7= 001.02.48,
11=001.03.48,
15=001.04.48

Snare at:
5= 001.02.00,
13=001.04.00

Hats at: see above.

That's the Basic Beat he wwas trying to tell you about.

Well then I say to you, too: Why the F@CK WOULD YOU SPEND $1000 ON A MACHINE TO MAKE BEATS, WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A BEAT IS? I would think that most people would know about music before they decide to make a major investment like that. Maybe use a free PC program, or beatbox. or pound tables, somethin'...

No, I was NEVER in this position. I knew how drumbeats worked before I decided that it was something I would enjoy doing enough to drop over a grand. I mean, how you gonna know you like making beats if you don't even understand the basic fundamentals?

learn how to program basic drum pattern. all the drums on all them songs are basically a basic pattern. then after that, you add things in here and there and build them up.

seems to me when i listen to folks who dont really program their drums good, and it always seems like their hihats are all over the place.

try doing a steady hihat pattern. then build the rest around those.
