not sure what you mean by using other instruments as hi hats... and you can't construct an amen, because an amen is a SPECIFIC break, not a specific kind of arrangement... anything of the latter type is an imitation... for instance teebee does that with all sorts of things - in several of his tracks you can hear *his take* on an amen, or a reece patch, etc... it'll help you come to terms with drum programming. buuuuuut it's not an amen.
when i put together drums for my tracks they consist of any or all of the following: one to three kick drums, two to three snares to layer and ghost, several different hats (closed, open, etc.), a ride cymbal, a crash cymbal, a reverse crash cymbal, bongos, congas, and other breaks for layering. start out with your kicks and snares first... and build in the other drum parts around it. but if you're really dead-set on a realistic sound you might as well just use breaks... and then use additional drum sounds to beef them up (i.e. layer a kick if the break's kick is kinda weak, etc.) learn how to use recycle. hehe. ~Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: martin dolan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2003 4:12 AM > To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List > Subject: [dnb-prod] Ghost Notes > > > Ello, lately i've been tryin to get the basics on ghost notes.
