love me some hard and technoid dnb
in all honesty i could prolly go thru all my dnb wax and such and make a set of "drumstep" full of tunes that came out long before this gay ass term
seriously why DRUMstep when it has fuck all emphasis on drum programming, they all use the same pattern ffs

thing is, for me "drumstep" was a different thing from halftime dnb since the whole thing started because let's face it: when you say 'drumstep' everyone thinks of 170bpm wobwobwob (with slightly more clownstep timbres) AND halftime drums. but mostly it's about the wobbles, bout the fusion of dub(or bro)step and (jump-up)dnb.

i mean they had this "skullstep" thing going on last year or so, with people like donny or zardonic doing half or quartertimed horrormovie style dnb, should we all call heist skullstep now?

so let's just accept the term (as long as no one starts talking about calm chilled out drumstep )

At OP, just re-read your original post and my statement was not directed towards you, just a general statement and agreeing with deadly.

Working with those tempos and half-timing it or full timing it gives you a lot of room for percussive tricks. The idea is to keep a sense of space, yet there is plenty of room to add in ninja breaks, ghost fills and samurai stabs. You just have to let the rhythm move ya...

I was wondering if you guys had any tips for drumstep? I created a normal dubstep drum pattern and then upped the BPM to 180, would that be the right way to go about it? Not many resources on this genre.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

my answer. just dont. gash genre
