dubstep drum loops request

djinfluence · Post by **djinfluence** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 11:07 am

Can anyone provide me with any dubstep drum loops, basses etc? I've tried making my own loops but they sound rubbish. Or even a dubstep pattern so I know where to put the beats,kicks & snares would be cool.

try listening to a dubstep tune

tap the tempo out with one hand and work out where the kicks and snares land its really not that hard

kick on the first beat and snare on the third for halfstep then just fill in the gaps for excitment

try making your own rather than getting a dubstep construction kit, its a lot more satisfying

That was my first thought when i read the title though.

Just listen to tunes and try replicate a basic pattern in your sequencer.

Thinking I might try this at ooh 180 bpm, think it could be a new flavour for the dubstep sound.

Laughing at those amen comments!

As for the requests for loops etc...

have a look through the 3 pages of posts on this forum (won't take long!). There are at least 2 threads all about how to construct a dubstep beat and countless others about the bass.

Do some research or if you are really stuck then pick up Hindzy D's grime sample CD and adapt the sounds to suit. It is only a tenner and aimed at newcomers like yourself.

i was kinda lost too like the thread poster.. the confusion seems to be caused by hearing the tempo is 130-140.. which is actually a double tempo of 65 - 70 only that set at double alllows those apparently off-time hits , rolls (and percussion that actually plays at 130-140). Correct me if im getting it wrong

to the original thread poster: yes some responses are harsh, but totally fair! if you just continually recycle other people's stuff, then the music is not gonna go FWD - it will end up becoming stale not fresh. technically, all that defines dubstep is its rough tempo, and its reliance on sub bass. go crrazy

Well said. If you can hear the beats you should be able to tap them in no problems, why's everyone so into this grid editor shit? Play it like you hear it and adapt it to your own tastes. You should only be using the grid editor to tidy up what you played in.

Yeah, that's the way I've 'read' the beats in Dubstep too.

And as a result I always set the sequencer tempo between 130-140 as a result, as this also makes it a lot more straight forward to quantise and construct double speed beats over half speed ones.

This is something I've done for lots of different styles of electronic music, as it also gives you a higher resolution of beat divisions (compound time for those who know what I mean) than you'd get by setting things at a lower tempo.

As for wanting to construct decent beats, well, at the risk of sounding facetious (which I'm not being at all), there is an age old rule of thumb amongst musicians that says half of the art of making and playing music is about listening.

So do it.

And now the visual pun:

its also possible to rip an audio track to your sequenzer, voila!

c'mon! listen, get inspired and freak on untill you got the result you want!!!! don't forget to save!
