Happy Friday everyone. My gosh it’s very cold out there this morning, very frosty, very pretty indeed but I’m happier staying in the warmth looking outside.
I cooked up these beats the other night, whilst my wife was out with friends. I cracked open a bottle of beer, one to celebrate my flu finally doing one and leaving me to my life, secondly it’s part of the ritual of making Boom Bap or is it boom-bap? I’m never too sure. Now I’m not saying you should have a beer every time you make a beat with samples but it was just a nice time.
I often hook Koala up to my SP404, in order to dive in to finger drumming. It takes awhile to get into the rhythm and most certainly it’s not as easy as some people make it look, so I rely quite heavily on overdubbing.
In terms of samples, they’ve come from a load of different places but that’s a topic for future posts, I’m drafting one at the moment that goes in a lot deeper on this topic.
