Awww, come on....

you gotta experiment with time signatures and drum patterns in your sequencer of choice.
It's a little thing called learning, listening and taking time to do so.

It don't happen overnight and will take time to learn and master the craft.

Kick on the first and third, snare on the second and fourth then get the swing and shuffle via the hi hats much like Dubstep.

its been said that Burial uses soundforge and denies quantizing. i love that dude.

Its been said that music shouldnt be done by computers but by people themselves. I tend to forget about that fact too often.

The best advice i could give (and im learning too) is to download the Mpc 3000 swings from some web ressource, and apply it to your drums in various amounts. see how it goes... I personnaly own an mpc 3000 (Fuck right) and ive slept on those software swing replications for too long... they are handy, simply because they help u realize what are the different swing amounts one could apply to his sounds.

draw basic patterns and fuck with it. thats what ive been doing lately and ive definitely improved.

its funny how lazy people like us always go like BUT I WANT TO LEARN FROM SOME RELIABLE SOURCE... and everytime they finally spend an afternoon on something they make a gigantic leap forward... but only to go again like ''BUT I WANT SOME RELIABLE SOURCE THERES GOT TO BE A RELIABLE SOURCE'' for weeks, before they make a second leap spending an afternoon practicing, 3 months later...

practice. practice. practice.... and then practice again...

oh and Shall i say that The sonic texture of your drum hits is AS important as the pattern itself.. try to think in terms of frequency range..

Innit, i've progressed to beatless UK garage with only SubBass and foliage effects, me and a few heads are pioneering it, if you want in say so NOW because once it blows up it's closed doors for the scene and you will forever only be fans of our shit.

you had 4x4 garage like the Todd Edwards stuff and you had 2Step but it was all still garage.

Am I too late? If so I'll strip out the bass and add in plus 20khz, only for the young uns this genre.

Only if you can come up with an alias and track names that both include the word tnuc and find hot girls to put on the artwork who are willing to go topless.
