3rd Degree · 10th November 2009

I always layer my drums and choose samples that I find to work. Though the actual drum sounds different if you just had the drum, often, it sounds like I am using the same drums because I build them around the sound of the sample I am using. Just from that, people would assume I use the same drums all the time.

I like to sample certain things. I like strings the most and often use vocal stabs. That makes many of my beats sound similar.

Many times I have to "mask" my chops with hihats so you will hear this on the intro's of my beats about a third of the time.

It is all about what sounds good and what you rely on.
