How to UK Garage Drums

[@mattc5658]

Holy cow dude. After all these years of watching tutorials youre the first person to adress the “match the drum samples with the mood of the track”, followed by excellent examples. What a great video

[@paulred158]

It’s 2024 I’m in my 50s and UK garage still moves me in a way so much modern music doesn’t. Great video you clearly have years of production under your belt. Masterful content.

[@z00h]

I take you're not a fan of modern sprinkler musique, then?

[@corywithout]

Dang, that bit about context and drum sample selection near the end finally helped that concept click for me, had been struggling with that lately. Great video as always!

[@Bittamin]

Maybe a weird question, but how do you have a check mark next to your name? What’s that symbolic of? I see people have the music one too. Is it just indicative that you’ve linked your Google account to your instagram or?

[@corywithout]

@@Bittamin I got mine years ago when Google Wave was a thing, and have no idea why it’s still here! It’s supposed to indicate account validation of some sort 🤷‍♂️

[@jump2k]

How do you have a checkmark next to your username?

[@corywithout]

It’s the verification check, I got it by verifying my account back in the ancient days of Google Wave and it’s just stuck since 🤷‍♂️

[@arthurpedro7480]

Exactly

[@soundslikessidechain]

Fascinating to hear the drums tightened for subtle but significantly different contexts.

[@marius.orehovschi]

I love it when the resulting musical ideas in a tutorial sound this good - really inspires you to go to a DAW and make something

I really love the style of your videos, how you present general guiding principles as opposed to prescriptive instructions. Thank you for making them

[@noobrules16]

This is amazing…. Jeez…. Being able to combine not only the “how to” but the history and context behind the sounds gives such a more deeper understanding. This is such a great way to learn. Connecting everything together on how the music is made just instantly made me learn so much in such a small amount of time. Thank you for sharing. Subscribed

[@Tsa-SONGS-ABOUT-BEING-a-DAD]

Yes the history and general chat made this vid

[@inthefade]

As someone who's into electronic music, but not so much all of the EDM subgenres, this is helpful for me to understand what they are.

Another day another goated tutorial! Thank you brother 💪🏼

High Pitched kicks fit so well

[@maxmeyer6395]

Single best explanation I've found on UK garage drums and how they evloved. Thank you!

[@Bkoded]

i think something important to note especially with the 90s sound is not everything is short and snappy, i feel as if thats something a lot of people get wrong, take something like perfect love by m.f project for example

[@AudioPilz]

Great Stuff!!!

[@becchi2458]

It genuinely amazes me how so simple it sound, but a lot of Technical stuff goes into making it sound so groovy, been trying to make this kind of music but for speedcore

In the last week I binged every house video from you, it was a feast. I came to the conclusion that Tech-House is a style that is the most fascinating to me. Can you make a video about the essentials like: characteristics in drums, aswell as bassline groove variations and melodic elements that define the spirit of Tech-House? This is a bunch to ask for, but I will devour every bit of it. Thanks for the great content you provide for upcoming artists!

House head here since the 90s but lately, especially after watching Salute live in Croatia, I'm really into UK Garage sound. The energy from bounciness and groove is simply off the hook. a tad fast for good old House Dance moves though. lol. but jumping and hopping works great.

[@slypaul911]

nice video yeah, i agree hermit was mustard dj and pushed the uk sound defo but in my mind grant nelson joey musphia started ukg, with there club friendly version of usa tracks ,,and i think speed garage first came from uk bods like rip that did double 99 which was a uk copy of armand van heldon ,then people like me n jermy sylvester did loads of that style also 187 lockdown to name a few as spd garag was based on the dred bass sound ... as for 2step me n jezza was doing 4x4 tracks on nice n ripe and changing to 2step half way through 1996 slypaul "no loops needed" big up pal love ya videos !!!

[@daveymichael6891]

Consistently great videos especially the UK Garage content. I've been using Reason 2 for the last 20 odd years and got nowhere with production. Lots of half tunes finished but nothing worthy of releasing yet. I'd like to know what music software top producers were using on UK Garage tracks say around 95-98? I know alot of big tracks in the jungle scene mid 90's were made on amigas and ataris, and even play stations. I've watched a couple of videos but can't get my head around just how they did it with basic software. There's lots of great UK Garage being produced at the moment but there is a specific sound and feel I get from alot of the old productions that I just don't get with the new stuff and wondered if it had something to do with specific software used at the time? l would love a masterclass on production techniques used specifically on the types of daws used during those times.

[@Bthelick]

Yes most in the UK used cubase on the Atari ST because you could buy a midi interface for it. tracker pro on the Amiga (I think that was it's name) was the other main one. The thing is that software was midi only, it didn't have 'a sound'. You needed the hardware to actually make sound. Samplers were essential. There were affordable offerings from the likes of cheetah emu, and ensoniq of you couldn't afford akai. And sounds modules / or keyboards would do the rest. Fx had to external hardware too. Of course the Amiga was a great budget option because it had sound and sampling capability built in. Music 2000 on the PlayStation was more like Ableton is now, if Ableton came will a small dance loop sample library. A couple of artists managed to get it to work but it was limited, it wasn't the go-to. 'the 90s sound' came from a myriad of factors. Digital audio was in its infancy, converters weren't great, sound hardware had memory limits and sample rate limits, Sounds were passed through other forms of degrading media, like a mixing desk (not a posh one haha), tape, vinyl, dat etc etc. not to mention the degradation of the recordings that were being sampled in the first place! A Lot ads up. Ironically I never got on with Reason because it emulated the hardware work flow too closely. Which whilst enjoyable and novelty, by any computer daw standards is a very slow way to make music. And one of the main things you learn when you become professional is that speed is essential, Not in terms of churning out ideas for profit, but in terms of being able to keep your inspiration, it's important the technology does not get in the way of your creative ideas.

what kick drum are you using @ 7:30 ? love it

[@rikkshow]

The subject of swing and timing can be a loooong conversation. Eg, the swing from a Linn that has a low PPQ, is not the same as in a modern DAW. The misuse of the random function, since no drummer is random when they are a little off (human), they are off by patterns. But the drift/randomness of old drum machines needs to enter the conversation, maybe even midi slop. 😂 Research, research...

[@Bthelick]

Oh absolutely, way too long to fit in this video! I was literally just explaining the Link/Akai swing Phenomena to a client today!
