What do you say on 1-1 drum pattern?

[Nick Diamond]

What do you say, can 1-1 beat, be too heavy for listening??
With 1-1 i mean: ( bkick-snare-bkick-snare...) ...with very few drum breaks .

I have done such beat and its ready for heavy airplay. Drum is preety punchy, simple bk – snare, guitar bass (distorted) mellody is in first plan and its pretty catchy. (something like ...99problems but more melodic)
All song is pretty raw and ruff. It's named RAW, so that explains all.

But now, I am to afraid if that kind of drum pattern could sound to heavy ??
Or maybe it will sound different..special maybe?
Should I risk it and leave it like it is ...?

I'm concuring with my man Chrono.
Post it in the showcase and we'll know what you'r talking about.

What i feel just by reading about it that it can sound to mechanical.. To techno if you will..
But you'll never know..

Later man

Check link in Showcase, and on Soundclick check out short snippet "Raw" on which I been working lately...

 

[PhleX]

check out... point game - thats muzik somewhere on soundclcik, i think it is www.soundclick.com/pointgame ... i think that is the drum line ur talking about and it seems to of pulled of in this track...

 

[Nick Diamond]

Yap!
,..if drum pattern is simple (too simple), then bass line must by the one who will pull it out, ..so track doenst sounds boring...

I guess I also pull it off with my one ....check out snippet "Raw" on www.soundclick.com/nmc

Many Dr Dre beats are done based on 1-2...with a small changeup though.....or 1-1 like you are calling it..... Rockwilder....lots of hip hop beats done simple that were behind hit records.......but the thing is those DRums have to be full and bangin....and like was said the bass line must also be full and work with the bassdrum and also the other instrument melody, if you are making hip hop your drums and bass must drive the music.....if the beat is dope there are no rules man as far as the pattern and complexity of it....a consistent rhythm is usually what is needed for the emcee if thats who the intent of the song is for.

i asked about it (1-1) drum pattern, 'couse artist, for which i made the beat, was worried about it and I never think about it. I just make music based on that, what is good for my ear.
But she put worm of doubt in me and i had to ask, just to calm myself down.
And truth is. a lot od hit singles have exact drum pattern.
I just listened Kool and The Gang (Get Down On it)..or any track of them, Warren G - Lookin At you, Cypress Hill - LIFE,...they all have that same simple drum pattern.

Now i can elaborate to that artist ,and finally sleep peacefully.

Exactly, now study your hip hop and use the formulaz and build your own house..and make music.
