Can see how passionate Drew is . The face of a person doing things he love

[@briandavidofficial]

Drums like this are the perfect execution of what you feel and what you beatbox when you're making a song. But finding all the right samples and doing the right stuff w them is haaard. This is awesome

[@yoelwww]

[@ebenvogelmusic3854]

this is crazy. its so hard and takes time to create loops like this but super inspiring

[@Vintsent]

LOOOOOVE IT 😍😍 Me too these drums are WHATTT THE FFFFFF 😱 Do you know guys if we could find something close from it on the internet ? Or the original drum in a multritrack or something ? By the way, congratulations for your videos guys, just amazing !

[@BILLYPATRON]

🔥 All great producers borrow from the past. Even if they don’t know it, they were influnced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis on these drums. If you listen to Escapade by Janet Jackson you can hear the similarities, which also inspired songs like Fantasy by Mariah.

[@tobygarton9494]

Yep thats a fact

[@jwballer6]

The more things change, the more the stay the same. idk its groovy aint it lol

[@emmamaestrelli2635]

[@Marcustrh]

Really fam these drums are 100% Mariah Carey Fantasy ft ODB(Wu tang Clan) 🤦🏾‍♂️the disrespect

[@eyeque7]

Is this a big deal is it. boring

[@WillyJunior]

You really don't think the drums sound great at 3:13? There's a lot going on there.

[@eyeque7]

@@WillyJuniorI never said it didn't sound great, it's more along the lines of 'what's the big deal'? U can literally make a drum/perc combo like that in 2 seconds combining a couple of loops from your sound library or something on splice, and this guy is having an orgasm over it. No joke, I made about 10 combos just like this, with a chord progression and bassline and tossed it out like it was nothing. And I have to come here to watch a dedicated video of this crap including this guy melt over f*K all.
