    So, i got a meeting with an A&R from Capitol Records coming soon

    How do you use a Drum Break?

    Homie, think Rich Harrison and the song, one thing for Amerie, that entire drum backing is primarily an old Break, a lot of people have called that GoGo, slightly true, because the reason why it sounds like GoGo is that the style of Drumming that Chuck Brown and his band introduced naturally...

    2 drums thats all you need, a kick and a snare......... even enuff of the drum that you can mix with another 1shot you have sometimes works......the best songs though have a completely naked break where you can get the drums then work with it in the lab.

    Rappers and their 16 bars

    Ok here you go man this is how I do......1 bar = 1.2.3.4 count (in 4/4 time sig) Most MC's usually like 8bars for the intro, some 4......then the next 8 count (from above) for the verse, next 8 count for the hook so pretty much...you can shorten the hook if you want... 8intro 8verse...

    ILLMUZIK PROJECT idea - share a drum pattern (looking for volunteers)

    Hey Nug that's a dope idea, another thing to add from a drumming perspective is where and when to accent.....I always use velocity on my high hats to give a nice feel to my patterns, a hat, snare or kick in a real world will never hit at the same velocity....Imma post up some of mine too, also...

    why i like sampling(a composer's view)

    I meant to add this, composing is not separate from sampling....think about it.......playing out a melody with chords etc...(which yes I play too) has the same exact concept of picking your sample, placing it, arranging and tuning......there is no big difference or distinction, they same skills...
