How The UK Adds Texture To Their Grooves

[@zackketz]

In the UK, if your job is only supplying or editing rim shots, are those rim jobs?

[@WillHatton]

Oh… my… god!

[@anf8647]

It’s true, in the UK we do love a rim shot in electronic music!

[@WillHatton]

Right? 😂

[@LS-ud7do]

@@WillHatton It seems you're both confusing a rim shot with a side stick (or cross stick).

[@Hexspa]

@@LS-ud7doYou’re right in conventional drumming, but the term morphed in electronic music to mean cross/side stick.

[@WillHatton]

@@LS-ud7do Drummer here, it's interchangeable!

[@ANostalgicFuture]

As someone from the UK, I'm proud that we have finally been acknowledged for our textures

[@lolabelvilla]

GOLD! As someone who works with field recordings, this is pure gold. thank you! :)

[@WillHatton]

Thanks Laura!

[@Matt-y7l]

The British electronic band Coil were doing this in the early nineties. Danny Hyde, their producer obtained one of the first Akai S1000 samplers to enter the UK. According to him he was the first person to time-stretch drums.

[@WillHatton]

That’s so interesting! Will dive into that rabbit hole today

[@HarryKline79]

​@@WillHattonHahaha get ready

[@YashKapoor-p8n]

I've always loved Burial and Hopkin's textures. It adds just so much depth to the drums, makes it so unique. Great explanation btw gonna use these tricks now.

[@WillHatton]

Couldn't agree more! Happy to help, thanks!

[@jamest3336]

bonobo uses millions of self-field recordings, even as his glovebox closing as a snare. keen on snapback, keeps popping up for me

[@fghhgdgdggskkk]

My rule is... if the mic recorded it, it can be a snare drum

[@WillHatton]

I love this 😂

[@nekrokulter]

Those are words to live by👍

[@incupa]

so smart to do a drum split showcase! way to bypass song ai detection algorhythms

[@emil7828]

such a nice groove you make at 5:00, damn

[@KevinSimpson031]

Great video, very insightful

[@DerekPower]

In my own little nod to Burial, the track "Spectre" used a subtle yet present texture of a record playing. Personally, I like using Waves Abbey Road Vinyl because you can control the various elements, including the inner distortion that occurs when the tonearm gets closer to the centre. iZotope's Vinyl works and it's free. And I believe Devious Machines's Texture can also do the same sort of thing.

[@TayWoode]

Compared to the late 80s-90s drum patterns have got minimalist but use unique samples people have recorded themselves. Back then you can hear how many snares they used to stack to make one big one or three hi hats panned, detuned played at different intervals, mainly coz drum machines sounded very thin and needed effects and layering to fatten them up

[@ThomAdams]

Will, you NEVER fail to inspire!!! Thanks for this one!! loveandpeace.

[@WillHatton]

My pleasure bud!! I do my best! Added your new track to Lofi Focus today too, congrats on the release!

[@ThomAdams]

[@DueceBandit]

Great vid man

Great ideas mate thanks! ;)

[@WillHatton]

No problem!!

[@kimiuk]

great vid as per! really cool idea with the granulator!

[@WillHatton]

Thanks bud!

[@sketchchomsky]

I quite like 'Life' by xln audio. Makes nice rhythmic beds for your drums. Although it can get a bit 'samey' unless you dive a bit deeper into it. Also feels a bit like cheating...

[@ViN-EzL]

Im a canadian… love texture

[@WillHatton]

And I love you!

[@bubaondesign]

Very Cool vídeo. I would add Devious Machines Texture to your list.

[@WillHatton]

Yesssss

[@BarneyOram]

The truth is, Burial came first and changed the approach to electronic music for everyone - either side of the pond. All the other artists you mentioned were drawing from Burial. (Aside from Kieran Hebden maybe)

[@heelloooooo956]

Also check out Herbert. Especially Bodily Functions

[@HypeBeast764]

Can you show us how those old school IDM artists edited those break beat drum loops? Like aphex twin or boards of Canada or squarepusher

[@partqfavor]

this may be such a stupid question but how did u extract the drums from these tracks? did you recreate them or use a program? i'm a bit of a beginner and i've been trying to figure out how to isolate drums/instrumentals/vocals for sampling

[@bengibbs4874]

Hi will, thank you for that video. I presume you like overmono? A video on those boys would be amazing... cheers

Y'all just love rain and his noise LMAO

[@dfpguitar]

Great vid and topic but how could you leave out Sophie!!

[@nickyruffcut949]

FYI Mount Kimbie are from NZ, not UK!!

[@WillHatton]

Kai is Cornwall and Dom is from Chichester...

[@nickyruffcut949]

@@WillHatton Sorry My confusion, I was thinking Mt. Eden

[@thevoiceofgrandmother]

Perhaps I'm an odd one out but Burial, Four Tet, Overmono grooves are distinctly un-funky to me. Just can't get down with them like that. King Brmeliad by Floating Points was very funky but that was a while ago.

For me Vacant phd this art
