[@NavieD]

For the free drum kit, head over here: www.itsnavied.com/drum-kits Let me know if this video was helpful! Did the beginner section help you more, or the advanced tips?

[@QUBEATZ]

Thanks for the drum kit! I've made a beat with the following items from your drum kit: Kick 13, Snare 2, 808 4, Hi Hat 1, Open Hi Hat 4, Sweep 1, and FX 1. The dark-guitar-and-reese-bass loop is made by Chuki Beats. I added the guitar melody, a pad, and a reverse sound effect. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jV7VgXpvnNt0hNU

Yall need to just make whatever kind of beats you like. F what everybody else say. Somebody is going to like your sound, dont try to do exactly what everyone else doing. For instance nobody sound like kanye, pharrell, timbaland, southside, swizz beats, scott storch. The list goes on be ya self

OMG Navie! Man you're such a good teacher. The KZbin algorithm has blessed me with the video I wanted! I just started learning FL and music production and this has been so helpful to understand concepts such as how to use grid systems and quantization in the way I wanted to know! And the way you patiently teach it is amazing! I hope your visual channel kills it in this coming time! 🙌🏽🔥 I'm all here for it! Thank You!

This video helped me out a lot making and understanding drum patterns on FL!! I appreciate you my guy stay blessed‼️🙏🏾

[@benhaze7468]

Instead of offsetting the 808, which might make it sound less tight, i tend to rather side chain the kicks to the 808. That way you can achieve the same effect without letting go of the grip the kick beat has! Nice tutorial man!

[@NavieD]

Thank you Bennyboyyy

Yeah I was thinking the same thing

[@MuseFireMusic]

Great ;) Just to be sure, i i am working let's say 140 BPM my snares would be 3 and 7 instead of 2 and 4 right?

Wow. I’ve been making beats for 2 years now and watched tons of videos. I learned a lot from other youtubers but watching u made me question every teacher I’ve ever had and their ability to teach.

[@craigdaubbeats-rapinstrume9185]

Another cool Hi Hat trick I just figured out was panning every other note on rolls and lowering the velocity a little. It sounds really cool with the Hi Hat I'm using on this beat. I put that towards the beginning of the pattern then I have another roll at the end that fades out. That sounds cool as well. Don't wanna get too crazy with the high hats though like you said. A little variation goes a long way.

[@NavieD]

Adding subtle changes like these go a long way. A way to automate this process a bit is to just slap a flanger/phaser plugin on your hi hats. It'll add a nice bit of movement onto your hi hats with relative ease.

[@craigdaubbeats-rapinstrume9185]

@@NavieD Yeah I do that sometimes. With this my goal was to pan every other hit within just that roll and fade back to the middle. So it went far left to right and faded to the middle. Right after it there's a chain perc hit. It sounds really cool. I started this beat as just a chill Spanish vibe guitar chord progression and melody. By the time I got done adding all the elements it ended up turning into an aggressive rap beat. That tends to happen a lot when I start with melodic elements first. When I start with drums I tend to know exactly where I'm going. When I start with melodic elements I'm always surprised by the way it turns out.

@@craigdaubbeats-rapinstrume9185 which (in my opinion) is how you learn and grow. To me, if you know exactly where the beat is going to end up, you don't really learn anything new.

instead of having the 808s come in slightly after the kick, you could just sidechain the 808 with the kick to make it consistent thought fruity limiter

[@NavieD]

Yep, also a good idea. Having said that, there is an ongoing battle where certain people say never to sidechain the 808. And I don't want to start a war
