having trouble creating trap kick drum patterns
« on: May 11, 2016, 07:39:37 pm »
could you guys point me in the right direction? maybe show some pattern pictures so that i could start getting the feel for it?

its different trying to separate it but im trying to recreate some future/hip hop/trap style drum patterns but im having trouble understanding the patterns with everything on top.

Are you recreating them from memory? That's the only way I can see someone having trouble with recreating a loop. Just copy a drum loop in your library or copy the drum patterns from a bunch of hip hop songs until you start getting the idea down. There's plenty of trap songs out there, and drum patterns are not able to be copywritten - so just steal them until you don't have to steal anymore!

Just load up a generic drum sampler and enter in the MIDI notes until your pattern matches theirs exactly. Label the MIDI clip and save it to your personal library. Next time you want a drum loop, just pull that in and make a few minor variations.
