genre / drums

[Mear Bace]

hey guys, I've been trying to see if there is a specific genre that mainly focuses on drums beats, and puts more focus to the drums rather than the bass. If that makes sense. A bit like Mt Eden's work. I think they run on 140 BPM, not sure. Is that still dubstep? I'd only use synths for a slight atmosphere, so it wouldn't really be DnB.

I used to play the drums as a child a lot and I'm nearing 16, and I would love to start it up again. But I don't have an actual drum kit anymore (:<). Any good tutorials, books or tips I could use?

Thank you.

not all dubstep or drum and bass has its main focus on teh wubz. why dont you experiment with the sound you have in your head(but remove mt eden first), listen to some icicle or ramadanman and put your own spin on it?

Haha, no one loves Mt Eden. I'll definitely check those two guys out. I've been looking for more work to try and recreate, mostly Bassnectar's and Mt Eden's drum patterns.

Didn't Icicle make a production masterclass?

Thanks again.

This is fantastic. I was so dazed while watching it. Were those sounds live drums?

I have a few more questions (I will do my research, but it's a bit late now and I'm going to hit the hay, haha), were these done on a 4/4 pattern? As in, on Ableton there is 1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4; is that how they made these drum patterns? Then made separate ones, looped them, etc. And, what is the ideal tempo for these kind of tracks?
Thanks again, guys.

here have some drums

excellent giving those mixes a download now.

I feel in more dark/minimal dubstep, that drums are given emphasis over bass, Icicle has already been shown as an example... Garage is another genre that drums are emphasised, as the beat is important. Conventional dubstep is pretty much kick/snare but some producers do break the mould

those are in fact live drums, but i'm sure you can learn a few things about drum programming by analyzing the song.

here are a few other drum-focused tunes, in no particular order:



(i know it's weird alien music but these rides and cymbals....)



oh and venetian snares of course:

[skimpi]

if you want drums check out guys like blawan, untold, randomer, joe (not the rnb star), instra:mental and rockwell they all have amazing drums and percussion!

OP didn't make sense to me?
But the difference between dubstep & dnb is tempo, other than that, the two genres crossover easily.

Dubstep being 140bpm
D&B being around 175 these days, depends on the sub-genre for the most-part.

I think he means breakbeat.
