Shadix Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I've been looking to replicate that Teddy Riley-esque kit for a long time now, but I still have yet to be able to figure out what makes the drums tick in this music. That clap\snare layered sound. Michael Jackson's Dangerous album is a pretty good example of what I'm going for. Can anyone direct me to the type of kit or maybe some sort of guide somewhere to attain the effect? Some examples: Can't Let Her Get Away: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z3eX_sDi08 If: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fquGNHiEG-4 What About Your Friends: Thats the Way Love Goes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUOkg4jFNus Rump Shaker: Jam: Rhythm Nation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEMQOaFyAEs Poison: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thJFQcfwsYo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoozer Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Layer, compress, layer, compress. Learn about New York compression and experiment with two compressors in a row, with different settings. Layer synthetic drums with real and sampled ones. Percussion in hiphop is a treasure hoard: build your collection like a miser and polish it. New jack swing also used a layered method where you EQ the part you want out of the original and reconstruct the rest differently. Also, even though I hate to mention it: Korg Triton drumkits. You'll be surprised about what's taken nearly straight from those. Of course, that's late 90s but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 e-LAB Smoker's Relight is a really good drum sample CD which has a ton of vinyl/sampled oneshot drums, among other things. Very much worth the money. The really clean, Jam/Backstreet Boys/N'sync "pop" snares are kinda tricky though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoozer Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Yeah, Delight is good but you'll have to do the rest yourself. Loopmasters has it as download version, I think it's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
