Part 3/8:
As with most electronic dance music, the foundation of the drum and bass track begins with a structured workflow on the computer. The host cleverly emphasizes the essentials: a laptop, headphones, and enough time — all of which can often be squeezed into an average lunch hour. The beat-making starts with selecting the right tempo (174 BPM), typical for the genre, and choosing kick samples from an EDM producer pack to lay the groundwork for the rhythm section.
Drums are the primary focus, as they are crucial for dance music, allowing the producer to establish an infectious groove. Various samples for kicks, snares, and hi-hats are experimented with, showcasing the host’s journey of crafting a lively drum pattern that evokes excitement and energy.
