Justin Todd - Nothin' But Drum (Dnb meets bhangra??) [15:00 minutes long]

#1 (**permalink**) Jan 26, 07

Hey everyone! Check out my latest track. It doesn't really fit under any genre because I decided I wanted to break the rules for once and do something different. It's purely drumwork (no bass or leads) with lots of tribal sounding drums, variable tempo and constantly changing rythm.

Its 15 minutes long, so light a joint and have a listen, or use it as background music for a quicky- and @ the producers: feel free to grab a couple bars to use in your own tracks (The tempo varies between 156 and 162 bpm)

Please add me to myspace (www.myspace.com/justindnb) If you haven't already.

Hope you enjoy! Cheers :)

Cool! I'm looking for stuff similar to this. Is Ramasutra a percussionist?

dude at the 2:10+ 'ish mark , did you start speeding up the bpms? I was trying to grab that part, and I was changing my bpms in like .1 incriments and I couldn't get the grid to line up lol. I guess I'll have to take a different part and try, maybe I'm trippin.

Yea I automated the BPM throughout the whole song

Its all good though, just grab how ever many bars you want (4- 8 is a good number), and then Recycle it. Or hit me up on msn and I'll hook you up with a fixed tempo export

good stuff man.

Did you construct all the beats or did you sample some loops in there as well? what program do you use?
