    J Dilla Inspired Techniques
    In this vid, we examine a technique from the legendary Jay Dilla where he uses 2 sets of hihats. This is demonstrated on the mpc 2000xl but the concept can be transferred to any hardware or software.
    This is only one of many J Dilla techniques, but if you listen to his production on Fantastic Vol 1 with Slum Village, u will come across so many dope techniques just from that one album alone. The spirit of Dilla will continue to live on and shout out to Ma Dukes for creating such a legacy thru her son Dilla Dawg aka The King of Beats.

    the trick is to stack a tambourine loop on top of a straight hi hat pattern, the second tamb hit is a little delayed so it has swing while still pronouncing the straight hi hat hits. This creates a unique shuffle sound.

    just a clarification, that is actually a tambourine

  • @rdavidr
    @rdavidr 8 років тому +182

    Another little trick that you can do is if you can find a sample with 2 hihats in a row, you can adjust the speed of the sample, which will change the space between the 2 hits. So you can dial it in to a nice swung triplet feel like you did at 3:26 but with one pad. Oh, and im Silent Dave btw haha

    • @RTOBeats

    • @soulboy1968
      @soulboy1968 8 років тому +3

      +rdavidr that's a great tip as the beat I'm making now, one of the samples that I've flipped on the pads has just one annoying hat that I can't filter out and is too low to come through so spent ages getting it right on a beat so I can mask it with my hats. But now if I have one with hats that sound good that's a great alternative way of thinking. Cheers.

    Dope video bro, I've been revisiting hi-hats in my beat making process after realizing that the swing of the beat comes from starting with the swing of your hi hats, then building the other drum elements, then building the musical elements.

      couldn't agree more there was a time when I never thought I would never be able to make good music now it I do daily. I simply doubted my self and because I believed I couldn't and that's was a self fulfilling prophecy.

    DOPE! DOPE! you can't really hear it but it gives it that funky swing and bounce, it like a ghost note hit hat. another technique of Dilla I've noticed is he makes the last hi hat before the kick on the one, louder. to emphasis groove! Dope tutorial JFilt.

    @banana1132 8 років тому +28

    Although your lesson on underlying hi hats is definitely still informative, i think in the J Dilla track he is using some underlying tambourine loop, which also gives it that humanised feel because it isn't just one shots. I could be wrong though.

    • @Verysickbeats
      @Verysickbeats  8 років тому +19

    Sounds like he has a hi-hat + tambourines going in the background. Could also be triplet hi hats as well, but either way, I enjoy how you analyze the beats. The ultimate key is to just let if flow as Dilla did!!
