UK Garage & 2Step Drum Patterns + FX

The Lounge General Discussion
22

BPM 125-130 ish

DRUMS
Kick on 1 & 11
Snare on 5 & 13
Open hat on 3,7,11,15
Closed hat 1 on even 16ths 4,8,12 etc
Closed hat 2/shaker on even 16ths to taste
SWING THE SHIT OUT OF THOSE EVEN HITS - try a 16T grid to get the hats skipping right.

Add some spicy hits - foley sounds, voice fx etc for that cheeky vibe.

Duplicate and vary kick and snare in bar 2.

all hits should be tight - trim the decays and compress or gate to get them snapping.

Consider pitching kick and snare up slightly - also makes room for a deep moist bass.

BASS
Two Square waves detune one drastically filter all the way down and apply a plucky ADSR and matching Fliter Env. For a typical Garage bass apply a slow attack and open up decay and sustain to taste. Resonance also to taste.

VOCAL
Record and sample your mum or gf screaming in ecstasy - chop and play in at varying pitches to taste

PADS
Throw in a chord/string sample to taste.

OPTIONALLY
Apply some lyrical surgery.

DONE :+1:t3:

This is how your posts feel
Just jam, imitate what you want. Iā€™m surprised you got this much information honestly. Iā€™m not being a dick but nobody can make the music for you, try it
