HEAR IT
The beat in the kit.
33 seconds: two bars of intro, then the hook. Every sound you hear is in the kit.
How this beat is built
Set your project to 130 BPM. Everything below is in the MIDI, so you can open it and look.
Snare
Half-time: the snare and the clap land together on beat 3 of every bar. No fills. The space is the point.
Kick
A 4-bar pattern. Bar 1: the one. Bar 2: beat 2 and the and of 3. Bar 3: the one and the and of 1. Bar 4: same as bar 2. It never plays under the snare.
Hats
Straight 8ths, the off-beats at half the level. On about half the bars a fast roll starts on beat 2, now and then on the and of 4. The rolls use the soft hat and change speed from bar to bar: 32nds, triplets, 64ths. Some climb in level, some stay flat.
808
It sits low on the 5th (B), under an E minor chord, and steps up a semitone before it moves. When one 808 note overlaps the next it glides, so draw the notes long. Drive it: about 10 dB into a soft clipper. A grit bass plays the same notes quietly on top, so the line is still there on a phone.
Lead
A bell, playing a steady 8th-note line between E4 and E5 with every second note accented. Put a big reverb on it.
Chords
A dark pad on an 8-bar loop: Em7 for two bars, Cmaj7 for two, Em7 for four, with a B7 on the last half of every second bar to pull back round.
Mix
With the kick as the anchor: snare about 5 dB under it, hats about 15 dB under it.
Form
8 bars intro (lead and chords, hats from bar 5), 16 hook, 16 verse, 16 hook, 8 outro. The verse keeps the drums and 808 but thins the lead to one note every half bar and the hats to the beats. The last bar of the verse drops the drums, so the second hook lands harder.
