Subject: [dnb-prod] replicating the
amen/making your own breaks/dogbeats
Firstly, trying to replicate the amen is
pointless. The amen sounds the way it does because of the specific
attributes (tuning, model, miking) of the kit the winston's drummer was using
at the time (also the rides/crashes he was playing on every 8th, which give
the break that "sizzle"). If you make something close to the amen, then
its NOT THE AMEN, and if you do manage to make something identical to it, THEN
WHY NOT JUST USE THE ORIGINAL AMEN!!!!! We love the original amen- its a
favorite just the way it is, and if you want to add your own flavor to it
processing the original is your best bet.
As for learning to
program you own breaks, like anything practice is the key. Start by
copying the kick snare combinations of the more common 2 step break
patterns. After that try adding ghost hits (lower volume kick/snares) to
add flow. Theres no easy answer here, you just got to listen and copy
until you get good enough to "feel out" your own new patterns and
combos. ---
