Breakbeat Of The Month #4…explosive beats! [video + sample + project download]
🕑 Added 2024-07-14 10:15:49 +0000 UTCI'm getting busy with an explosive one! "Soul Drums" by Bernard Purdie.
Man, Purdie is tight and funky, and he got soooo many more breaks, I prob gotta cover some more in a later BBOTM episode.
This one has not been used that much in any genre, probably because 1) it does take some work and 2) it has a very very particular, aggressive, explosive tone.
I'm mentioning on the video what I think may be the first song using it, and I mention a song of mine, and I get busy with the break, and I'm giving you the original song as a download + a version that I've edited for your convenience + you get the project I created and which I rock with on the video.
If you happened to use the project + the drum pattern I created in your song, I'll ask no monetary compensation, but I'd love to be credited to some extent :)
(There's one case on my career where I put a ton of work on a certain break that takes so much effort, and I gave the break to a producer and it ended up on a very decent label, and I didn't even get a mention while all the processing and most of the arrangement of the break in that song was done by me and it took some serious effort…grrrr!)
PS: Make sure to check the other BBOTM episodes too (<- link).
I would LOVE to hear people use it more though! Can you put some work in and make it work?

I admit I’m starting to forget some of the stuff I’ve made! A custom break: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lets-make-custom-92335109 Dusty tone with Bitwig: https://youtu.be/9i0G2PK7tHY?si=dBLnvzot_O1a3RLv

Absolutely killing this series of knowledge bombs dude!!! I know you did some videos building a break using Addictive Drums but I can't remember if you did anything around processing a break you built from scratch to make it sound like a dusty old break from a record. If you have, can you shoot me a link to the video, if not I reckon it could make for an interesting video.

Yessir, I usually don't want anything to overlap with a busy break like this! Sometimes I may add a hihat here and there on a drumhit that has a weak hihat or none at all, but aside from that, one drumsound at a time.

Do you use the sampler in monophonic mode?

Thank you :) Yeah that’s a good one, and yet again one that takes some hecking work! It’s on the list ;)
