Beat This! - October 12-13, 2016

[Fade]

The next competition will be from October 12-13th! See the information below.

Signups

The signups will be on October 12th at around 8am ET, and end around 8pm ET. Voting will be for 1 day, on October 13th, where the results will be posted the same day.

The Signup page is here (it will open up on the signup day)

Theme: SKULL SNAPS DRUM BREAK

• You MUST use this drum break (use these drums all the way through):

• You can download the YouTube video in MP3 format http://peggo.co
• This is a sample flip.

You can use whatever sounds you want, samples, synths, just remember to read the rules for the rest of the restrictions. What the judges will be looking for is originality, creativity, mixing skills and overall dopeness!

Voting

From now on, the voting will be by all members! If you are competing, you will be able to vote but not for yourself. DO NOT TRY TO CHEAT! I will be watching for cheaters. This means you cannot sign up under different names or get your friends and family to sign up either. If you are caught cheating you could be banned (depending on the mood I'm in).

Beats

All the beats will now be displayed in a random order and without any names. All you will see is: Beat #001, Beat #002, etc. This is so that there is no favouritism when voting.

Sponsor

This month, the competition will be sponsored by Greg Savage & DIY Music Biz, where the winner will get 1 on 1 consultation from industry insider Greg Savage on music licensing.

Rules

Do you have another link to it? The 90 bpm is out of whack. Timing wise. Is there a place where we can download the loop where it isn't out of sync?

Try this one:

You can add whatever you want but that break has to be used.

Chopping allowed, yeah? @Fade

Yeah you can chop it, but I'd prefer you use the drum break all the way through.

*** NOTE ***
You can chop the drum break but I'd prefer if you used the break all the way through your beat.

I must say this is the best Beat This! challenge so far. I'm having so much fun with this drum break

Shit, just realized that I might have fucked up here... I'm a bit drunk lol. @Fade maybe I should have read the thread title properly before posting this, delete my post man and, if possible, add it to the beat battle thread.

Dude, you have to sign up yourself on Oct. 12th.
