The drum loop is what makes the listeners bop their heads. It doesn’t have to be complicated. Less is more so keep the drum pattern simple but make sure that you use high-quality and well mastered drum kits.
Listen to DJ Premier’s and Dr. Dre’s instrumentals, and you’ll see that adopt a very simple drum pattern but their drums are always heavy hitting.
When you have the drums laid down, put a simple bassline melody that bond well with the drums. Play about with the different keynotes and see what sounds good.
You can then start adding other samples and sounds on top of that. If you’re a beginner, then it doesn’t have to be perfect yet. Just experiment and get used to the procedure.
