^^^^Hold on guys.... HEY! YOU NEED A COMPUTER!
lol... sorry, but that's the truth. most of the people that use MPCs that I know use it with a computer (specially the MPC1000)... it makes workingg wth the mpc a breeze! Without it, thing can get real complicated real quick! Just adding...
Actually, I dont agree with you even if... I'm a drummer myself. There is a difference between playing any kind of beats and making any kind of beats.
When a drummer plays with a band that is not of his own style, the music structure is mostly there, all he got to do is to accompany what's...
^^^^didn't think of that... good advice... but then the pitch has to be SLIGHTHY different (like, the difference has to be SLIGHTLY perceptible)
and you could also change the enveloppe (like the attack and the decrease) of each, again, slightly

When I saw that post, the 1st name that popped was yours, PGyal....
All I gotta say is: "what a waste"... and knowing you, there is probably something else that bothers you that's in the same line of what you're talking about, but a bit deeper and private...
Easy way out... take a drum roll sample (big bands and marching band sample)
or... if you want something composed but still with a real feel, you can always use a midi controller/trigger finger/your computer's keyboard and play the roll at a lower BPM. (if you used your computer's keyboard...
There was that guy... Bishop who went to 106 and Park "illegally" and won the FreeStyle Friday battle. Guy's real cool with it. His click is "section 6", if I remember. That white boy is really gifted for freestyles!
^^^^^Thank you!!!! Y'all are messing a good thread with that shit...
Another one, very common "Biggie was not that great, (Name of new, upcoming artist here) is a real legend!"
That's real..actually, every time I meet a new producer/beatmaker even before asking what he uses to make beats, the 1st think I ask is if he knows of Illmuzik... I'll find some Montreal member one day...
.... I've seen a couple of guys like that in my clubbing days... sad memories! But that's what some clubber look like. Going to the gym before the club to look pumped up and putting a tight shirt on...
I tweak a lot, but to a certain extent... a guitar to a piano... never tryed it, but taking a synth bass and making it sound like a acoustic/synth bass... or using a conga sound as a bass... that sort of thing, yes
One of the stupidest comments....? actually it's kind of sad.
"I dont like hiphop, all they talk about is guns, hoes and being gangsta... Listen to 50 Cent, that's all he talks about"
"Hiphop is not real music, it's always the same beats..." ~~~and that was a Reaggaton fan speaking.... lol
or...
FRankly, I'd like to be a full time producer, but, for now, I'm forging my skillz and style. And doing this dont pay the bills, unfortunatley.
When I'll be there, then, I'll be a full time music maker.
