what up YouTube back for another intro to hip hop going
to be a review of a website drumsamples.com today they were kind enough to send
me one of their drum kits actually a couple of their drum kits but I'm going
to be reviewing one of those today you can find this at drum samples calm these
are really high-quality drum samples as you can see in the video here on their
website they really go all out when recording these drum samples
getting them from different mic sets so up close room mics overheads they're
getting them running them through you know classic analog gear so I'll play
you a little bit of this video here which you can see on the screen and as
you can see we're talking about you know a million dollar studio fantastic year
and a fantastic drummer Josh Sheppard was the drummer for coheed and cambria I
hope I'm saying that right actually didn't know this going in and had been
told a little bit about him but he apparently worked as a solo rapper under
the name weird science and was also the drummer for terrible things but that's
cool that means there's a hip-hop connection here these drums are rock
drums but they work great for classic hip-hop beats which is what we're gonna
be using them for today I want to take you through a little bit of what's
offered in the drum kit and then how I use it because the the way I apply these
I'm really getting pretty awesome sounding you know full drums and I'm
finding myself using this kit or the sample pack more and more now so I'm
going to pull up my Josh a Bartok it you can see we've got a folder for snares
kicks toms we got a folder for high hats a crash a splash and a 19-inch Paragon
China I think this is like a gong some kind of awesome percussion instrument
but if you pull up the snares you can see within that we've got four different
drum kits that were used a CNC snare drum kit a DW Colonel mapex black
panther and a Tama brass I'm not a drummer so I'm not familiar with these
but they all have different tones and vibes so you can kind of find something
that suits the the vibe of your song if we pull these up let me expand this you
can see that under the snare we've got a closed mic set a multi mic closed room
and overhead room mic and then just the raw drum
and so for instance if we pull up the closed mic then you've got the right
hand the left hand a roll flam side stick so quite a lot of options so if we
go to the closed mic and we play then we got a nice snare there if we go into the
multi mics and we choose the same option
and we go down here this is the same drum but miked up are the same drum hit
but miked up differently or from a different mic from a different position
in the room so you're getting the close the room and the overhead there and then
this is the room mic so if you want to make a drum bigger by giving it like
natural reverb you've got a mic that you can hear is you know placed out in the
middle of the room it's a lot farther from the drum set so same thing for the
kicks you've got a plastic beater and a felt beater clothes room and overhead
room I can draw so it gives you that flexibility to layer like a clothes with
a room mic and have a really big fat drum or that sounds like a live drum a
stadium drum let's go back to the snares
and I want to show you some of the snare rolls because these come in handy for
like turnarounds if you want to have a natural turn around at the end of four
bars or something like that we're about to learn what a flam is who did have
this comeback flam's and then some side sticks nice little
side stick definitely wanting a chill like R&B hip hop that's gonna work great
so what I did with the drum kit today I worked with the CNC drum kit
and I went ahead and loaded up a drum kit
you know profile to use for a beat and we're gonna just make a beat from
scratch with these drums and a little sample I found but what you can see here
is I've taken one of the clothes snares the room overhead and closed snare and
then the room mic and I've put all three on a pad so we can go from two and I get
a real fat snare by doing that I did basically the same thing with the kick
where I took the clothes right hand and then the room so we're gonna do
something like and then we've got a hi-hat and then open to closed hi-hat so
we can do something like and then I've gotta just open hi-hat but I may use on
the one all of these are WAV files so when I dump these into logic if I want
to shorten this audio file and not have all that tail I could do that easily I
could do it in machine too but I do those type of edits and logic but let's
lay down a drum pattern and then we'll chop up this sample and get it in I'm
gonna put the BPM at like 90 and just hope that that works with the sample
because I'm gonna speed the sample up so let's just let's just improv and make
some nice
all right so we've got a little drum loop that we can work with there let's
jump over to the sample and here's what we got
nope alright I'm gonna chop that up so we're gonna jump into sample right here
we're gonna put this on sorry about my silly notification we're gonna put this
on slice keep it on manual and just chop through it
there's actually like the entire song so that would go on forever and ever
let's apply that put it over here okay and I want to take the group and pitch
it up all right let's lay a pattern down with those
drums that we got
probably don't need 128 bar pattern length however that got well now right
now it can go up to 128 hours that's cool let's just put that down to
something reasonable
bass to that
yeah man so as you can see drum samples calm is a great source for really badass
live sounding drums and because you can choose from the closed mic the room mic
the overhead the right hand the left hand all the different options they give
you it's basically like having a drummer there and saying hit the drum like this
okay now hit it like this is being able to create organic original drums from
all of these options that you can't do with other kits so I definitely
recommend this Josh F bard kit they do have some other options that you can
also check out as well and they may even have a kit coming soon from intro to hip
hop spoiler alert but I'm working on one right now that if all goes well we'll be
up on here that's gonna be more hip-hop focused so they're certainly expanding
this website's growing like crazy so give them a give them a look there's
gonna be a link in the website or link in the description to get to this
website so feel free or I would appreciate if you would click through my
page to get there so that they can see that I'm driving some traffic their way
and we can continue to build this relationship but I highly recommend it
the Josh up art kit is going to give you hundreds of drums right out of the gate
I mean 200 snares of different hits kicks like crazy
Tom's floor toms crash splash ride shine on high hats you name it for 35 bucks so
you you know you it's like hiring a drummer I definitely recommend it go
check it out I hope you like this beat today it's gonna be on my soundcloud
it'll be available for free so go grab that and make a song on it an email
email it to me hit me up if you want to collab please take a moment like and
subscribe to page I hope you can notice the improvements around here all the
time but things are looking better sounding better getting to be more fun
and everything's growing so hit that subscribe button become a part of the
family I'll see you here next time let's keep making hip-hop together
