You could have doubled it and I'd have been glued for the whole thing! Real gem!

[@CNTRRNDM]

you gotta be kidding me! this is one of the most valueable beatmaking-related pieces of content out there...you could be charging 100s of bucks for this but you're putting it out for free...this shows what a great human being you are, dude! you're incredible, mate!!! thanks!!!

[@WillHatton]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support! Just trying my best

[@Antonio_Ortiz]

Dude, you just gave away a million plays to other producers basically for free. You are beyond nice. 👏🏾

[@WillHatton]

Ha! I hope that’s true, share the wealth and all that! Appreciate you

[@medea2996]

Thank you for that video! Drum Patterns have always been very hard for me for some reason. Today I took the time and recreated every pattern you showed in this vid and made my own presets. This was so helpful, so thank you very much!

[@WillHatton]

I’m so happy to read this! I’m glad you cracked it! Enjoy and reach out anytime!!!

[@HarmonicDrone]

One of the best things about this genre of music is the level of technological creativity!! Cheers, Will! Beautiful content!

[@WillHatton]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@mstrwood8813]

Has anyone ever called you the Bob Villa of production youtube channels? You're vibe is literally a lofi ambient track. Super relaxing to listen too and watch. Keep it up!

[@WillHatton]

Thanks so much! You’re the first!

[@maxborosiuk3570]

Man, your video is like a saint book for making beat in lofi music, so instructive and to the point, and no water about how is the weather outside, socks you chose for today or which coffee you're advertising... thank you a lot 🙏💛💙

[@WillHatton]

My pleasure, glad it’s helpful! Thanks for the kind words

[@paule7000]

Appreciate you bro! I like em all! I had trouble with The Sweeper and The Shaker.

[@TooCole]

I appreciate you for this! Currently making templates for FL studio

[@francisjohnluke]

Will this has to be my favourite video from you thus far! That gate side chain foley trick is awesome. I would love to see more videos focused on drums and percussion

[@WillHatton]

I’ll bare that in mind and add it to the list! Thanks John! 🙌🏼

[@TDiamond777]

The LFO & Foley Tip is godly thank you

[@WillHatton]

My pleasure! Thank you

[@user-pq4ow2ij4n]

The Shaker Groove very simple, chill and catchy) ☺️

[@horacechincer]

This is so helpful. I make music as soundtrack beds for KZbin videos. I usually make a tune in an hour or two and don't have much more time than that usually, so having a template like this to work with really clarifies things for someone like me who didn't grow up with beats, and now needs to make them. Liked and subscribed. Thanks!

[@WillHatton]

No problem Tony! So happy to help. Enjoy.

[@calenaur]

Everytime seeing a new video by you on KZbin I already know it's essential to watch. Great and useful video again!

[@WillHatton]

Appreciate you being here my friend! 🙌🏼

This is so valuable, thank you very much for this video ❤

[@WillHatton]

It’s my absolute pleasure

[@why0gilliams]

Awesome stuff for a guy who LOVES lofi but cannot seem to hit the 'sound' with his own productions. You know this, I've been trying for like 8 months or so.. ;) As usual, very useful high quality video. Spanx a lot man, you rock! :D

[@WillHatton]

YOU ROCK! I know you got it in you! ;)

[@Selahprod]

amazing bro! i love "the dilla" thank you for sharing your knowledge !!

[@tobiaslivsey416]

So helpful, saved all the kits - just as useful to see your sound selection as well

[@WillHatton]

My pleasure Moosey! Big love

[@BrianTullyPlus]

Always love your videos, mate! This one is extra special - thanks for breaking down the polyrhythms. I had no idea you were a session drummer - makes total sense now 🤪 Is the template used during the video available at your Patreon?

[@WillHatton]

Thank youuuuu Brian! The template is available at the Patreon for Live 11 and the MIDI patterns are downloadable for previous versions of Live or other DAWs

[@azomyte]

Gold, thank you

[@afi6061]

What a cracking vid.👍 Some real gold there. You mentioned about another vid and I'd really like to see more on the techniques like the hi/lo shaker fade, the vinyl sidechain, etc. Also, the thoughts behind the techniques, like the transient where everything should be super short, pitched up, etc. Superb vid, with the sort of info you don't often find. 👍👏

[@WillHatton]

A fi, thank you so much for your kind words, just the sort of motivation I needed today! Yes, do check out my "Groove Theory" video, it'll give you some more insight on creating a bounce with perc (It's not Lo-Fi but its beneficial) I have a "Subtractive synthesis" video if you like your REALLY content geeky (I know i do!) And if you're into your Lo-Fi stuff, then just filter my videos by playlist! Thanks for being here friend.

[@le0jazz]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. You Should make a video like this but for the keyboard chords.

[@moosicmonkee3592]

I appreciate this!

[@tiedsmusic]

Just discovered your channel today, watched just few videos. Great quality and content, +1 sub, going to dig your content. Thanks for this

[@WillHatton]

Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@CeeD33Bee]

Nice detail here, thanks 😊

[@nicolasnicolas3889]

I just went through this exercise again creating 10 different templates so that I can jump in and get a tune down quickly, still some of my own beats feel a bit static as I forget a few simple things and this is a great refresher, nice! ;D

[@WillHatton]

Yes!! That’s the spirit

[@nicolasnicolas3889]

@@WillHatton Morning buddy! Just wondered, I see prods mostly using audio clips for the drums rather than drum rack, it seems, can you make LFO effects on a drum track made of audio clips? Is it generally better to use audio clips rather than the MIDI drum sequences where possible or just preference? Just thinking aloud, thanks! Have a fun weekend! ;D

[@WillHatton]

@@nicolasnicolas3889 Totally preference bud! I tend to use audio more often as I like to SEE the waveform but it really doesn't matter. You can achieve the same effect with both!

[@nicolasnicolas3889]

@@WillHatton Thanks buddy! Of course you can see the wave, I hadn't thought of that, duh! ;D

[@leenonelofi5460]

Thanks for this Will, really handy to see, gutted I don’t use ableton but will be using some of these patterns for sure

[@WillHatton]

The MIDI patterns are also at the Patreon to download alone which should work for any DAW. If not, I’m sure it won’t take you very long to just replicate the shapes from the time stamps! Happy to help!

[@leenonelofi5460]

@@WillHatton thanks so much, I will sign up to the Patreon for sure! Iv just started using xln xo,going to spend the afternoon creating some presets using theses patterns to improve my workflow , thanks again, keep the great music and content coming :)

So helpful! Thanks.

[@93__]

Ay this is dope. thank you

[@WillHatton]

My pleasure!

[@nicebluejay]

excellent video, thanks so much! i was wondering though, and i know this is probably just a lofi stylistic thing, but it just seems that the drums hits, especially the hats seem much more off grid than an actual drummer would play them, feels really unsteady to my ear. of the drummers i have played with, i do not recall any of them playing their hat that far off grid, some like to even play with a metronome in their ear at gigs. when you are playing for hire, i am assuming your timing is more precise, no? maybe i am crazy lol --- great videos though, i will be using the patterns although my hats will be closer to grid. lol

[@juliobernal4489]

Hello Will! This is brilliant mate, thank you very much. Could you please tell me what key sound you are using in "Almost 3" ? Maybe a tutorial on how to get that beautiful sound Cheers

[@WillHatton]

It’s a sample buddy! But it’s just a pitch warped Rhodes sound!

seems to me to be some bass audio frequency confliction in your video.

What key command did you use to duplicate the hi hats at 7:29

[@WillHatton]

CMD + D

[@AutisticCuriosity]

This is about the 6th video I’ve watched on Lori drum beats and honestly I don’t understand any of it. Does any one know a video where they explain language a beginner would get?

[@morningnight8390]

Hush. Does the template apply to guys who dont use Ableton?

[@WillHatton]

It doesn't unfortunately BUT I did make the MIDI available so you can apply the patterns to any DAW. Should be as simple as dragging and dropping to your assigned instrument, you may just have to adjust what key your kick or snare sample performs on.

[@RJ1J]

Do you make videos or templates using third party plugins and synths? E.g. FabFilter template, UAD (If you have), Acustica Audio, or U-he synths etc.

[@WillHatton]

Not often but I’m not adverse to it either! Just trying to make content that will benefit most users and not exclude anyone!

[@RJ1J]

@@WillHatton I agree, but I think it's worth putting out a few polls to see who has FabFilter or other mainstream popular plugins. You might be surprised.

Hello how do you use the templates I’m soo new to using ableton. Also this video is amazing thank you for your knowledge

Hey there! Thanks! You just download it from the Patreon and insert your own samples to the corresponding titles!

Can these grooves be imported into LPX...? If so, which Patreon Tier are they accessible...? Thx, Will

[@WillHatton]

For this example, yes! You can export the MIDI to use with LPX, you can access this at any tier. Just search the tag "templates" to find this video and the attached midi!
