Alot of Dilla and Waajeed beats sound like they use live drums as opposed to just chopping breaks. Is this true? Does anybody know where I can get some dope original soul type breaks. I would love to get my hands on some that would be amazing!!

plain and simple.

you just gotta dig man

I hear you on that but I dont have that much money to be spending on records every week. And most the stuff I find in the cheap bins doesnt have too many good breaks on them. I mean I found some really great break compilations online and they do they trick. I was just thinking that they also have drummers who give them some sounds (which i guarantee that they do)

check out some of my tracks!!!!

but 99% of the time its records

with some stock drum machine sounds behind them to beef them up (think 808's)

BTW, Timp you got some nice tracks homie. Do you chop up a whole break and use all the sounds from the original break when you make a track or do u just use have sounds that you chopped from breaks in a kit and just pick the sounds that fit right with the beat? "Wanna Do" definitely sounds like a Waajeed\Dilla type track man its fuckin hot

Those guys must spend so much money on records to find all those dope breaks and drum sounds man. I have a decent amount of records and I dotn have too many sounds that I got off of them. I guess its all about getting the right records tho.

thanks.

its different everytime, i have no set formula to make a beat, but for drums i have a some kits on my computer and I just layer them underneath chopped drums that I get off records. or sometimes I just use what I sampled off a record.

and that wanna do joint is old. i didnt even know who dilla or waajeed were when I made that! haha. i think I made that in 2005 when I was 17.

Dilla played drums a lot.

i read in a remix mag i think about someone relaying a dilla story...something about him explaining to someone how he made a snare drum using a matchbox..or matchsitck or some shit....

that would be a dope read if you can get the article fam ...

Jack Splash recalled this time when dilla and t3 were riding in his whip and dilla was telling t3 how he made a snare by flicking a raisin box
