I pulled audio off of youtube from the Pointer Sisters (RIP) Pinball Count from Sesame Street.
I tap tempoed the track at 79 bpm, then doubled it on the SP404 to a crisp 160 bpm. Then I sequenced all the one shots in, getting the sample chops to fire rhythmically. Then added some a reese from a sample pack from Black Sun Empire. Kick, snare, and hi hats were from Paragon Kits.
This is what Ive been doing on all these competitions… sequencing all my own drums, and you can tell by how unorthodox they are.
I had a different plan to go with, but my production is based on going with whatever is working, not the “song” in my head. i really have no idea what I’m doing when make music, and I am just as surprised by the finished product as anyone else.
This shit was mad fun, and I can’t wait till the next one.
I think the Hip Hop battle is over on the 15th, so look out for the new DnB battle then. I’ll tag everyone from this thread into that new thread!
