Hybrid Breaks is my best sample of breaks so far

[@DisparityOfBeliefAndTruth]

Been spending the last month in Thailand. DnB is quite popular here! Quite refreshing to walk by a restaurant in the middle of the afternoon with DnB playing on the speakers haha! Big up!

[@STRANJAH]

That's insane, hoping to visit thailand soon

[@simonpeterdebbarma]

I used to work hostels in all over South East Asia, and I would bump DnB almost all day on all the speakers. The English lads loved me for it, and it did really create an upbeat atmosphere.

[@uwu-nyaa]

Been watching your stuff and you seem to have this implicit understanding that art is a series of choices and I really appreciate that. Sometimes you just want somebody to list the artistic choices out for you, in order, because so often the confusion when getting into a new genre or artform is not even knowing what those choices are or how to approach the order of operations. You seem to understand this core confusion in beginners well. I appreciate it a lot.

[@STRANJAH]

That’s a really cool observation thanks !

[@klausherbert3040]

FINALLY the almost perfect tutorial for DNB, thanks!

[@gianlucamarchese]

Hopefully next will be a 90s Jungle masterclass 👀

[@dickjohnsonsixtynine]

How about hardcore

[@RaverOperatorGeeza]

​​@@dickjohnsonsixtyninehe did a series on producing jungle, and happy hardcore, are you looking for OG hardcore, is that what you mean? EDIT: I say OG far too often these days, I mean original hardcore, forming after acid house and developed in the "rave" era?

[@dickjohnsonsixtynine]

@@RaverOperatorGeeza I’m talking about the crossover period after rave and pre jungle that eventually ended in the “split” between “happy hardcore” and “jungle”. Prior to that it was all “hardcore” although you could hear the strong influence of “jungle” coming through but it was still “hardcore”There was a strong hip hop influence with lots of scratching and manipulation of the breakbeats. Tracks like sl2 “drumbeats”, “darkage” by dj solo and anything on the “production house” label, “re-baptised by dub” by the criminal minds is a classic example. D livin “why”, early prodigy tracks of their “experience” album, dance ritual “off the ground”, dry and roasted “it’s like a dream”, Roni size “music box”, Dj dextrous. Basically anything before the “happy hardcore” takeover. Some real technical shit was going on and it would create those “hyper vibes”. I don’t think there will ever be a style that will ever reach that level again Hardcore will never die Big up all Junglists Amen

[@d.m.e]

Great video for beginners bro, wish I had someone like you giving this priceless information out about when I started years ago. big ups STRANJAH

[@PaulSpades]

My man just gave away all of the secrets. I wish artists in more music genres used more of these techniques, some do use them in hiphop, triphop, dubstep. If you want weird sounding break beats, move those main snares every other bar. Add some snare/tom fills bars at the end of a section.

[@ASH-ou4cg]

I really love that Hybrid Breaks pack. Such a unique blend of loops, that you will never find anywhere else. Being that these are Live drummed and not from other sources, definitely adds some depth and authenticity to your tracks. They are really tightly played and handle processing so well. Definitely a pack worth getting.

[@STRANJAH]

He's a great drummer, and a wicked offering you can't get anywhere else

[@MattRid]

Always a pleasure spending quality time on Stranjah’s channel learning the intricacies of Jungle and DnB

[@STRANJAH]

That's my goal, not just some general ish, but the details that set apart the pros

[@armignac]

Love these Videos. Keep them coming! Great to chill and get inspiration of.

[@STRANJAH]

I will do my best - focusing on quality over quantity this year

[@djobed.utrecht]

Hi Stranja, I’ve been following you for quite some years and all your vids are clear and very informative. Thank you 👌

[@STRANJAH]

Glad you like them!

[@madpro39]

Thank you Stranjah, this is a nice compliment to your Skillshare breaks class!

[@ASH-ou4cg]

30:21 Woah! Looking really forward to that pack! The first gnarly volume is incredible!!

[@STRANJAH]

Hold tight, I'm working on it

[@RolledInARaw]

Thank you so much for these tutorials bruv. Came across a track of yours in my box, Drum and bass Arena 2 20/46 🧨. Thank you so much.

[@STRANJAH]

That's an oldie, 20 years ago. Grooverider and Andy C were rinsing that one

[@stenchybeats]

Priceless tips! Thanks bro

[@TaiBaSs40]

Very usefull one !! Thx 🔥

[@kinqzflaky4560]

I randomly found this video (taking this as a sign), which was exactly what I had been look for for more than a month on how to make DnB, when I woke up in the middle of the night to get water🤣 (3rd Comment🏆)

[@STRANJAH]

Love it when that happens, I'm your dnb genie.

[@Positive_Tea]

Awesome!! Fyi, STRANJAH also has excellent sample packs! Highly recommend!

[@Nug_Lord]

Thanks for the awesome vid! All my edm as a whole has gotten better because of you! Was wondering where you’ve been lol I have been producing my own music for awhile, but now that I’m at a confident level of arrangement/writing, I’ve developed some significant hearing loss - do you think sending my stems to a mixing/mastering person would still get a professional result or am i best off renting studio time to go compose with an in house engineer?

[@STRANJAH]

Either works based on your preferences. Take care of your hearing and look into therapy to soothe it. Stem mixing is good if you can find someone you trust

[@grahamkracker456]

Now we need one for different DnB basses!

[@qubosgaming]

It's ridiculous, how easy it actually is, if you once understood the principle behind it. All the time, I thought way too complicated.😮‍💨 Thanks for this great tutorial.

[@markstentdj]

Absolutely brilliant video for a DNB beginner!

[@alperchino8233]

well done, hands down the cleanest and best tutorials on dnb one can find. is it possible that you make a chapter 2 about processing/eqing/mixing ?

[@allysterlaw777]

awesome video🎉

[@Numocron]

Wow this is another awesome Drum & Bass tutorial I love it. Big up Stranjah.👊

[@andrij.demianczuk]

I really like this. I’ve been playing with DnB patterns on my Digitakt and always felt they were a bit flat and boring. Thank you so much!!!

[@chungiemusic]

Thank you icon

[@DJLouda]

awesome as always my man, gotta ask, pitching drums, been a thing all over, pitch your kick to match the key of your bass, is that fully neccessary or can you you get away with just rolling on with any drum, kick snare etc

[@braille5575]

Just what I was after. Nice on stranjah! 👍🏻

[@STRANJAH]

Hope it helps

[@PVRPxWVLF]

so fun how adding that bass was so simple bu just ties it all together

Big Ups STRANJAH 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@gepmrk]

For Drum and Bass, I think the only rule with regard to the placement of the kick drum is, if the kick drum is on the first beat of the bar, then it should not also occur on beat three of the same bar if that bar is going to be repeated. The reason is that at around 174 bpm the rhythm fails to get off the ground if both the one and the three are there.

[@edglue6138]

3 and

[@aramil444]

There are enough examples of dnb tracks that break your "rule". The cool thing about music is that "there are no rules"/"rules are made for breaking" (either works).

[@directed6924]

Your videos are more engaging than Breaking Bad series.

[@ant1fact]

Thanks for providing a solid foundation to start off of

[@ASH-ou4cg]

11:45 this is exactly what I keep telling the wife! Go figure it could be applied here too!

[@STRANJAH]

You have to keep things exciting or the passion will die

[@melisasargn1085]

couldnt catch free packs, hoprfully you will put here again, thanks for all tips!

[@snakejazz]

Do you prefer to use standalone samples when building drums rather than building a drumkit within Ableton?

Sick thanks for the tips!

[@tonydanzza6290]

So useful video! Thanks!

[@RobertMunro-wb6jb]

I would say the best example of the 2 step beat is spawn by doc Scott !!!!! And its simplicity is its strong point ! It doesn’t sound too muddled and over complicated but it nails it and have saw it kill it when multiple dj’s drop it in sets at a rave or on pirates !!!!

[@saddemon3913]

Make some drum patterns compilations for funky, fast and powerful, and other types of DnB drums and their patterns, i think that would be interesting, i need more speed and power feeling in my tracks 💪

[@djsadcat]

thank you

[@7fridays240]

Thank you very much❤

[@RLT_Official_Music]

Can you show us the MIDI way of making the patterns as well???

[@Scott-h6y]

I notice you didn’t put any effects on your main kick and snare. Or are these saved and already done??

[@clusterb1327]

Very useful video ..Thanks

Yo - nice vid. I’m interested in buying some of your packs from your website. I tried to sign up to the newsletter but get to reply and nothing in junk so it’s making me concerned about attempting a purchase. There’s no support email on the site to reach out to unless I missed something? Thanks for all the videos

Me interesaría ver las diferencias del D&B en detalle entre sus subgéneros, como el Atmospheric, Inteligent, Liquid, Danceflor, JumpUp, DarkStep, NeuroStep, TechStep, Jungle, JazzStep, SamBass y otros subgéneros del D&B que sean interesantes. Personalmente se la definición, pero al momento de escucharlos a veces es difícil distinguir de uno a otro.
