    I don't understand all the complaining. The guy has his own way of doing DnB, and he's a talented producer at that. This video taught me a lot and gave me a few ideas for my own production. Thanks Wilkinson and CM.

      I think the complaining has come from the fact that he's said alot of words ...but without no actual advise on how to get started or anything that's beneficial in the slightest.

      You need a DAW first, learn the ins and outs of it until you’re comfortable working with it, then go from there, listen to as much dnb as possible and really listen to how the song is made, the structure of it to the sound design and the technicalities. Have a go at making some of your own, the best way to learn is to keep practicing, making mistakes along the way and to keep watch tutorials and you’ll gradually see an improvement. Good luck bro

      You don't get the point philip so why even bother - he implied it would be easy to make good sounding drums. Weirdly enough well respected producers took lots of years to get their drums sound on the level they are today. Sure you can just go on splice and take a "perfect" sample but if you'd open the project file of lets say noisia you would see how much stuff is going on there
