Onetwoweight : thanks! I just used some drum samples from a failed collaboration, im actually not sure where he got them, they are super processed and go through compression and saturation to fill them out. the hihat rhythm is composed of the offbeat hat and a white noise pluck on top of the kick, in the second verse the offbeat hat goes doubletime and so does the white noise pluck to give it that extra pumping feel.
Hylaxy : thanks so much! I will try it out! i think maybe a plate reverb might give it that hollow distanced sound your looking for.
