Analyzing 20 Genres And Their Unique Drum Patterns

all right guys let's slow things down all the way to 80 BPM and we're going to talk about Loi now the number one word I would use to describe Loi is nostalgic it is a genre that makes us reminisce of the good old times when life was simple and when our grandparents walked Barefoot up a hill to get to school every morning and this Nostalgia is represented by the sound selection these drum sounds aren't clean they're very dirty and dusty like they are being played out of an old vinyl player or tape machine and on top of that a lot of Ambience is added to really set the move now the drum pattern in low fight is fairly simple the snare is going to be going on the two and the four and the kick is going to be having a bit of Swing on it the high hats are usually just doing a basic two-step and to give it a bit more feeling the high hats are slightly shifted later to give it a more human [Music] sound now boombap is a popular hip-hop genre during the 9s this is a very conscious style of hip-hop that features rappers like Nas and the wuen now the name boombap comes from the sounds of the actual beat the boom represents the kick and the B represents the clap or the snare and those are the two most important sounds in the beat just like before the snare is going to be on the two and the four and the kick is going to be swung so you're probably wondering how is this different from Loi and this is mainly going to be through the sound selection much like a Sprite at your local McDonald's these drums would be characterized as crispy Loi might use sounds found on a drum machine while the Sounds in boombap are similar to The Sounds you would find in a drum kit they have a lot more high-end and a lot more energy and if you add a cool little Baseline under it then you got yourself a boombat [Music] beat deer spiritual indivual blah blah blah now the next jump pad pattern we will simply call the Drake hey what's good it's Drizzy this is a beat that's popularized by Drake and his producer 40 in songs like Mar it's perfect for those 2 a.m. drives on the highway thinking about how she never really loved me now these drums are extremely minimal you have a kick and instead of a snare you might have something like a Tom and the drum pattern itself is very open the kick is very spaced out and there's only a little bit of syncopation on the snare there might be some percussion or fills in between but those are very subtle and tucked away and the main characteristic of this drum pattern is that there's very little high-end in it once you those high frequencies it really gives you that feeling like you're underwater and to top it off you can add a voicemail to really seal the deal he pick up the phone all right that was depressing let's move on to something more fun regone this is a genre very popular in Latin America some notable artists are Bad Bunny and Carol G its main characteristic is the rhythmic pattern known as Trio this rhythm is when you divide two beads and create three divisions within them like this this pattern is the main driving force for a lot of music now the Kake is going to be doing steady quarter notes and the snare is going to be the one that's accentuating the trial Rhythm and on top of that you can add some high hats and other Lively percussion and it's also good to know that the sound Us in regon are very colorful and distinct now we're going to go up to 100 BPM and talk about dance hall dance hall originated in Jamaica in the 1970s and later on it started to go into the mainstream with artists like Drake and Rihanna starting to make songs in that genre now the tro rhythm is still very apparent here but now it's a bit more open the kick is not as consistent as it was in ratone it's a bit more spaced out and the snare still follows that taceo rhym but now it has a much more diverse pattern the high hats and dance hall sound very modern nowadays they're very bouncy with a lot of rolls similar to something you would hear in trap and on top of that you can add percussion like shakers to give it more energy all right now you know dance hul now you can go and Pak I feel like the cool teacher say like oh why don't we guys why don't we take it outside today okay so we're going to go to 100 BPM and we're going to talk about trap soulle and this is popularized by the artist Bryson Taylor from his album trapo now the cool thing about trap soulle is that it basically has the same elements of trap music but it's just done at a slower Tempo so in terms of the drum sounds itself we are looking for the exact same things as trap you're looking for Punchy hard-hitting drums for the drum pattern usually the snare is going to be on the two and the four but now since we're halftime it's now going to be on the three and the S the kick is going to have a bit of syncopation and the high hats are going to be doing a two-step as usual and just like in regular trap I'm going to add some cool high hat rolls to give it a bit more fun [Music] detail and that is trap Soul say hi to YouTube you want to say hi to YouTube that a really cute doggy so now we're going to move on to a really cool genre called amap Piano so this is a genre that originates from South Africa we're going to start with a four on the floor kick and by the way this Ki is is going to sound very soft that's actually one of the only constants in the genre there's not really a definitive snare pattern they use but there is a lot of percussion I added a Shaker just doing a really basic Rhythm and then I added some Rim shots to really accentuate that Cho Rhythm and then I also added some congas to give it a bit more life now the most recognizable sound in Alma piano is going to be their Baseline so the Baseline itself is a very distinct sound it's very Punchy and it's very fast and what I love about these baselines is it just straight up goes crazy that's not an exaggeration they just kind of do whatever they want so sometimes I'm following the kick I'm following the snare sometimes I'm not sometimes I'm doing triplets I'm doing rolls I'm doing triplet rolls I'm rolling off the triplets I'm tripping off the rolls and with that we have am a piano now we're going to look at one of the most popular genres and that is pop so there are many different types of pop music but the one we're going to look at is the Disco inspired one popularized by artists like dualipa and daff punk it's a very nice midtempo jump in the air kind of pop like this like that type okay first things first we are going to start with A4 on the floor kick if you don't know what that is that is when the kick is going to be played on every quarter not a snare is going to be on the two and the four and then the high hats are going to be hitting the offbeats so you probably think this drum pattern sounds a bit boring and by itself it kind of is but the Rhythm and groove really come in from the melodic instruments so I have this Baseline here that's doing a lot of syncopation and this contrasts really nicely with the steady drum pattern and then I have instruments like the muta guitar and the strings that are doing a much more interesting pattern now we're going to move on to bosan NOA bosan NOA also known as please stand by we're having technical difficulties type beat this is a genre that blends Brazilian rhythms with American Jazz the snare doesn't really have a set Rhythm but it's very heavily emphasized on syncopation the snares are really hitting those offbeats to create that bounce now this might sound a bit off but it's always going to meet that down beat at the end of the phrase to give it a bit of structure in terms of the drum sounds itself we are going for live sounding drums that you would hear on a jazz drum kit so I have these brush snares here doing a very simple pattern I'm also adding some ride symbols and a couple more snare hits to give it a bit more syncopation and then when the instruments come in everybody's following that exact same pattern they're hitting the same off weads and they're doing the same phrases and this is when it starts to sound really nice and consistent now the next jump pattern we're going to look at is R&B now this one's going to sound a bit different from the other ones because we're going to be using a different time signature so all the beats that we were listening to before are at a 44 meter which means that one beat is equal to four quarter notes in this one we're going going to be doing a 68 time signature and this means that one beat is equal to 68 notes so usually music is divided by four 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 but in this case is going to be divided into three 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 so this is a time signature that a lot of R&B music uses some examples are if I got you by Alicia Keys and Gravity by John Mayor but the jum pattern is still very simple so the high hats are going to be playing eighth notes the kick is going to be on the one and the snare is now going to be on the four the kit can be in other places to give it more Rhythm but that's going to be the main beat it's kind of the same feeling as the other beats but it's just a bit of a different bounce people say that 44 met sounds a bit more Square while 68 sounds a bit more round but overall it's a very simple and open drum [Music] pattern so the next genre we're going to look at is Shuffle trap you probably haven't heard of this because I just made it up if there's a real name for this let me know but I don't know it so there are some hip-hop songs out there like black skin head or watch me that use the shuffle Rhythm and then just kind of combines it with hip-hop elements so for now we're going call the shovel trap but if you know the name please let me know so the shovel Rhythm is a popular pattern that you'd mostly hear in jazz music this is when we would take even beats like this and then instead create an uneven long short pattern so now that we have that Rhythm established let's look at the jum pattern so the snare as usual is going to be on the 2 and four and this time we are looking for big layered snares and then the kick jum is going to be the one that's focusing on that shuffle Rhythm and that's pretty much the base of it but I added some vocal effects to give it a bit more color and then I also added some Tom doing triplets at the end I kind of feel homeless right now do I look like I'm begging for money here the next genre we're going to take a look at is Brazilian Funk this is one of the most popular growing genres at the moment Brazilian Funk originated in Rio de Janeiro and it combines some Brazilian rhythms with hip-hop influence so there's a very specific rhythmic pattern that Brazilian Funk uses and it sounds like this so to start I have a couple jumps following this pattern and I just added a little bit of variation at the end of it in terms of the kick I'm looking for the fattest kick sample I have and then I'm really emphasizing that downbeat as well as some other areas and then once we have that it's time to add some percussion to give it some more color so I have the Shaker here doing a really open pattern and then I have some extra percussion that are filling in some more off beads and then once you combine that with a hypnotic vocal chant and a cool Baseline then we have theil FK another genre that's really starting to make waves is Jersey Club don't quote me on this but I'm going to assume that the genre originated in clubs from Jersey but speculating so there is one very distinct Rhythm that defines Jersey Club and it sounds like this so basically the cake is going to be doing two quarter notes and then it's going to follow that Cho Rhythm and that's basically it you can be done with just that but I'm going to add a couple more things you might hear in other Jersey Club feeds so for one thing I'm going to just add some high hats doing some normal two-steps something that's really popular is adding some snaps at the end of the brace and I'm also going to add this bed squeaking sound that you're going to hear in a lot of Jersey Club music right now now let's move on to trap what the most popular genres of the last few years so trap originated from Atlanta Georgia and a trap is commonly known as a place where you would sell illegal drugs like lowkey the back of the building I'm in kind of feels like a trap so let's take a look at the drum pattern so the high hat is going to be mainly doing a two-stop pattern but to give it a bit more life I'm going to add a couple extra notes and a couple of rolls the snare is going to be on the three and the seven and then I also have some percussion hitting the offbeats and it's usually going to have a pattern like this and then I also have the cake hitting the Down Beat and a couple offbeats as well I'm freezing holy in in terms of the 808 we are usually looking for short Punchy sounds like this this really helps give it that bounce and it's also good for doing things like rolls as well and that is [Music] traping now we're going to move on to drill music drill is a subgenre of hip-hop that originated in Chicago and it's quickly become one of the most popular genres with artists like Central sea and pop smoke given that it's dark and aggressive sometimes it could be confused or trapped but there are a couple differences between them instead of doing a two-step the high hat or counter snare is going to be following the tro Rhythm it doesn't have to follow this exactly but it's going to be used as a guideline so here I'm adding a couple extra notes and rolls and that's just going to be tucked under that main pattern instead of the snare being on the three and the Seven now it's going to be on the three and eight and this time the kick isn't going to have as much syncopation it's really going to hit those strong beats on top of that some popular sound effects you can add are gunshots and one of the most notable characteristics of drill is the 08 instead of a short Punchy 08 now we are using a long sustained one and this is going to be used for slides and cool fills and that is drill [Music] all right guys let's get into the fashion so the next one we're going to look at is pop again so this time we're going to look at pop that's inspired by Sy music during the 80s so some examples are stay by Kid ly and bliding lights by the weekend in terms of the drum pattern this genre takes a lot of inspiration from classic rock and roll this is going to be really simple we're going to have the kick on the 1 and three the snare on the two and four and then we're going to have the high hats doing eighth notes and to add some spice we're going to put in some double kicks as well so this is basically it but now all we have to do is change the drum sounds themselves so the sounds we're using now are going to be synthesized instead of recorded on a drum machine and these sound very Punchy and electronic so now we're going to replace all these old head sounds these Boomer sounds with new modern sounds and with that we have ourselves a nice simple pop beat the next genre we're going to look at is Juke so this is a genre that's started in Chicago and it's often accompanied by a dance known as Chicago footwork I can't do it so this is a very fast genre with a lot of energy and a pretty complex drum pattern first thing you should know is all the sounds here are going to be used from the classic Rolland 808 drum machine the clap is going to be on the two and the four the high hats are going to be doing a combination of e and 16 notes and the cake is going to be doing a bit of snation one of the main characteristics you might hear in Juke music is the toms they usually don't have a set pattern but they're always very fast and complex so here I have a combination of high and low Toms and in here I'm just doing interesting 16 o patterns the last thing that is a stap in Chicago juke is adding in some kind of vocal sample and we're just putting this into the beit to give it a bit more energy the next genre we're going to look at is drum and bass so this is a sub genre of EDM that started in the UK and this genre originated from another one called Jungle which we will talk about later once again this is a very uptempo genre the snare is going to be on the two and the four and the cake is usually going to be following this pattern in terms of the high hats we can either do eighth notes or 16th notes so I decided to do a combination of eth and 16th notes you notice with these fast geners the jums start to get really simple and that's because with these genres is really easy to make the drums clutter and then all we have to add in is our base which will give us our drums and our base which makes drum and [Music] Basse the next genre we're going to look at is jungle so this is a sub genre of EDM that started in the '90s and as I mentioned before this is the father of drumond base now the main component of jungle music is using break Beats from old records so a break beat is a short section of drums that would happen during the break of a song and then DJs would sample this little section and then Loop it over and over again a well-known example that you definitely heard is the aan brake so I have a drum kit emulator here so let's make a breake beat from scratch the first thing I'm going to do is bring the tempo down to around 100 the key to a good break beat is a lot of syncopation on the snare so here I'm really emphasizing some offbeats I'm making sure the pattern is varied and interesting and I'm also Shifting the notes over and changing the velocity so it sounds as natural as possible the next thing I'm going to do is run some plugins over it to make it sound more vintage and then all I have to do is bring the temple back up to 170 and we should have ourselves a nice jungle be [Music] all right guys we're on the last one so let's just talk about a nice chill genre known as hard style so this is also a sub genre of EDM and this started in the 1990s in Netherlands now the funny thing about this one is that the drum pattern is actually as simple as it gets it's basically just a four on the floor kick but the thing that's interesting about it is that this single kick is a very complex sound there is a lot of sound design that goes into it so let's make one from scratch so I have a synthesizer here and the first thing I'm going to make is is a distorted tonal sound this kick is actually going to be acting as the kick and the base at the same time once I have that sound the next thing I'm adding is a low swell that will come up after after that I'm adding some compression and Distortion to give more grit and then after that I'm adding a kick sample at the beginning to give the overall sound more punch and that is our hard style kit now the only thing left that have to do is follow the core progression of Our Song and then we're [Music] done if you have any suggestions leave a comment if you like this video leave a like if you really like this video
