ill give yall some actual information you can use.
1. set the kick as the peak, & the snare just below that (heard Dre say this himself)
2. From Chronic2 I observed the hihats were mostly always kind of sparse, & real low in the mix just sort of keeping the groove (especially where there wasn't other percussion so they could keep the kick/snare patterns simple.
3. Dre almost never does anything "dirty", one of the most special things about Dre is how clean he's able to make things sound. this is a stylistic choice of course, but we can tell if it's dirty on purpose or not. if you're going for super clean like Dr.Dre that starts at the very beginning with clean sounds & samples.
4. the drums & the bass on a Dr.Dre record usually are locked in very tight, have this sort of pumping/give & take effect there the bass almost swings you into the snare. they rarely interfere. (this also contributes to the clean sound as well)
5. lots of times, Dre will have a more tonal instrument play with the snare (imagine a hard piano key striking with the snare everytime). as random as that seems if you try it you'll hear just how Dr.Dre-ish it sounds.
& thats all aside from the engineering which outside of his ear for talent/tastes/people skills is his biggest strongsuit.
Overall the most important things I think I learned from Dre are attention to detail & the importance of subtlety. dont make that sound any louder than it has to be. no busier than it has to be. that little ear candy sound doesnt need to be every 8 bars, it can just play once in the whole song.
I also never use the same sound twice. if I ever used the same snare sample, even Dr.Dre himself might have a hard time catching it since I treat everything differently according to the project. organic/accoustic instrument sounds are a bit different, but even they get treated differently for the particular project.
just some observations & whatnot as someone who views Dr.Dre like the north star. hopefully some of it may help you, especially if you keep these ideas in mind & go back to study some of Dr.Dres records (a lot of folks missed it because of the vocals but go listen to the instrumental version of eminem - relapse, it's a goldmine)
3 am is a classic. I always hear the drums they're very clean and clear
@@SiyavuyaNgxabazi 3am is fire. must be the ganja is crazy. I love stay wide awake. hello. there's more but just off the top of my head. the refill album/ep/whatever after relapse had cool shit on it too like my darling, elevator.
@@pickD4prez my darling is fire
@@SiyavuyaNgxabazi Dont compare it to Dr.Dre tho 😂 it's probably one of my dirtier beats actually but the orchestration & arrangement that's Dr.Dre influenced is there forsure.
That part u said about the keys hitting on the snare is true. A lot of prod stray away from doing that cause they think it sounds harsh but if you do it right with the velocities and tone then it will sound like Dre he will have a very short chord stab or maybe even a Diad stab hitting at the snare time as the snare and he makes sure that fits in the groove
To get Dre sonics its all about engineering. Knowning how to Drive signal thru SSL EQs (w/Pink/Brown Knobs) creating harmonic distortion, clipping the channel, Summing to the buss compressor. Using MPC midi together is a good time saver for organizing. The original MPCs have a hot signal which contribute to the harmonics. The newer MPCs are 💩.
He also used the mpc 60 and sp 1200 in his early NWA days
he and egypt loves beats they never change there beats
Not a Dre beat but Denaun Porter I think? But the Kick on 'Busta Rhymes - Get You Sum' is the most softest hard kick ever.
For 2:37 you talked without showing a single technique Bruv
Engineering is the tip! Precession and effects.
Hey man I've been struggling with my drums sound, and I got inspired to follow Dre's vibe where there's a simple loop that just hits hard. I now decided to eliminate my endless samples options into a pack or two. Do you have any recommendations about how to get to a good source that I could program with?

One kick/snare per drum machine is wild
Even more so was he had the same man mastering his music….check out Bernie Grundams story
Thanks for sharing dude
there are no tips in this video, you're just saying "make the drums good"
Make your own sound
Bro I thoght I was about to here some bullshit...Good job !
I guess you never heard Comptons most wanted drums huh ? I guess you never heard West Side Connections drums huh ? lmao. Dr. Dre is good for his rap vocals and his 1990's stuff, everything after that is pure computer plastic garbage :(
impossible...you need to have his sound engineer MISTER I.Lovine. peace producers....
he is the sound engineer
@@Tahir-wz9rb nope. he learned, but his top album hits like "still d.r.e" the final technical job, to get this particular sound of DRE wouldnt be possible without Lovine Engineer secrets, secret hardwares and softwares, result of the knowledge of all his career. dre does part of the job and the rest of it is Lovine. Lovine has also engineered 2pac most famous album particular analog sound "All Eyes on Me". Lovine's job.
nowadays young producers think that knowing how to use FL Studio or Ableton means you are a sound engineer...Lol. Dre is a producer not a sound engineer. He has the ear for mixing but he is NOT a sound engineer, young people. Sound engineering is a career and a job, passion and ear is not enough. you have to have it but its not enough, its a job not a passion. and only the best in the job succeed. Dre IS not an engineer. is a talented PRODUCER and artist. I Wanted to make it clear young people. you can call him a self made Sound Engineer, but ear doesnt make it all. this is another problem of FL studio and other "popular DAWS", in my "Humble" opinion. 💪
when you hear the next coming albums of 2 Pac and the ones who came out after his death, who werent engineered by Lovine, sound has lost its LA gangsta vybe. And im not talking of LA type Sound design with minimoogs and other type of samples. this the producers and artists part. im speaking of the LA Sound coloration and saturated analog vybe, from these famous 90's LA studios.
@@manlust5439 I don’t even know what your saying. Dr Dre is credited as the mixing engineer on nearly everything. Go look at the album. And he IS an engineer. And arguably the greatest mixing engineer of all time. You sound plain stupid. Just listen to his stuff. It is LIGHT YEARS.
