Which of deez riddimz was your favorite? Lemme know! Songs mentioned in the video: Q-Tip - Breathe and Stop Black Milk - Overdose Azealia Banks - Heavy Metal and Reflective

[@loopskemyh]

Couldnt choose tbh, they all had their own cool feature

[@idesel]

The second rhythm was the most interesting to me. But if I start experimenting down the line, I would prefer the first idea more.

[@alexunderground829]

Always startin’ classic, cause i was taught there needs to be a snare on the 2 and on the 4. Pretty outdated though 🥸

[@AKSourGod]

That Breathe and Stop Riddim never gets old for some reason.

[@professionalhater2809]

Drums are more important than melody in real house music and also, arguably in hip-hop.

[@geoffrey6000]

Oh, the irony......... "unique drum patterns 'every' producer should know."

[@Keroser1983]

Well you got a point. As a producer you need to be creative and stand out, that is the key part. These videos are just to give you an idea.

[@AGM124PGT]

@@Keroser1983 I agree, there is no irony here, just inspiration

[@ysbles819]

And a guy explaining how he knows them: Be being absolutely non creative and just copying paste other beats from other producers. lol

‘Unique’ as in different from each other. Not as in completely original. Of course.

[@Grid21]

Once again, thank you for using FL Studio for us, and 2, thank you for making this so plain to understand and not trying to show off something. A lot channels that talk about making "beats" are all flashy and trying to sell us something, you however, did it correctly and made drum patterns much easier to understand to someone like me that is self-taught and trying to learn more! Thanks!

When I started making beats I had the craziest drum patterns but as I learned more about the Art of leaving Room for the artists I started doing normal patterns very simple but works tbh check out dilly got it bumpin my man killing it using the same drum pattern landed 2 Joyner Lucas placements on the same album last year great video btw will definitely try some of these ideas especially the first one 💫💫💫

[@NavieD]

Yeah, I was the same way. Getting too wild and crazy with your drum pattern eventually becomes just showing off hahah

[@kyledixontv]

That's why ppl make beat tapes. There is a beat scene in hip hop you can make money off of. And artist need to have more musicality it's always something you can add to a beat.

thanks. i think drums can get a bit boring on a beat when making it. but as soon as you add the bass then the magic happens. I feel the bass is supporting the drums much better.

So I broke down and bought FL studio even tho I have 2 MPCs now. I don't regret getting them but some things are just faster in FL and there's a lot of limitations in MPC as far as mixing goes. The two work very well together though and for their own specific purposes. So I'll be checking out a lot more of your videos now that I'm in FL as my main DAW.
