Drum and Bass 101: Creating a Basic D&B Drum Pattern
Drum and bass 101: Creating a drum pattern Claire Marie Lim shows us how to create a quintessential drum and bass drum track It’s up-tempo, it’s frenetic, it’s energetic, it’s drum and bass. In the first part of a series, Claire Marie Lim is here to create a basic drum with kick, snare, hi-hat, and a classic break. Drum and bass got its start in the 1990s UK dance scene, but the genre has morphed into different subgenres since—a testament to its staying power. No matter how it’s changed, the heart has remained the same, the drums (its not called keys and bass). Claire’s gonna take us through the genre’s signifying features, a bit of the history, and maybe, just maybe, there will be a bit of music theory thrown in. You never stop learning, after all.
