J Dilla Inspired Techniques
In this vid, we examine a one of my all time favorite beats from the legendary J Dilla where he uses a slick variation in his drum pattern. Dilla could play drums and it's evident in his drum programming especially during the time he was mainly known as Jay Dee. The technique is demonstrated on my 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 Busta Rhymes song called "The Shining" from the album "The Coming", u will come across so many dope techniques just from that one song 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!

you seem like such a happy dude.
+Jeremy Koffarnus its healthier trust me LOL
love, peace and positivity!
I’ll watch that video too, haha.
That's the other thing I like about bruh.
I would like a full album with Dilla & Nas. It'd be such a dope combination
OH this is a really good one
This one of the best music ideas
dilla was known to play his drums all the way thru a track opposed to just a 4 bar loop and the notes on the upbeat are similair to ghost notes, dilla wanted that live drummer feel. dope video.
+dj prominent yessir and thanks for the comment
+Verysickbeats no doubt keep doing what you do. positive man.
dj prominent that’s that slum funk
That's a for real helpful tip right there man. Explains how it sounded so natural n humanized. anybody know If Dilla played drums like Questlove? Wonderin what inspired his loose sound when the rest of the industry was pushing quantize as the standard rule n he knew to toss that shit out lol
@@TheDonLemonSnickety actually it was the other way around. Dillas loose drum style made Questlove change how he would drum.
Busta said it took him months to write still shining. Because he had to finesse the flow for every single loop because the drum pattern changed every time
+Chris MacLean wow didn't know that but it makes perfect sense when u listen to how in sync his flow is with the beat
@@Verysickbeats ua-cam.com/video/u4Qinzz9w9w/v-deo.html here's the bit about Busta on Still Shining
I'd love a Roc Marciano and Dilla album. He's too smooth man
+PRLYZ fuck yeah
+PRLYZ True Indeed..
PRLYZ you ever heard of a guy named loopwhole beats? He has a few joints with him its worth a
Look
He did work w him on the biggie joint
I feel like Big L/JDilla collab would've been amazing. Rip to both of them, they both died too early and were masters of their respective crafts.
Dilla remixed a big L tune
Let's be honest, you could put anyone on a JD beat and it'll be a jam
I would want dilla to work with rapsody
That would be awesome
@Jean Dames j dilla and noname
If only Nujabes and J Dilla were alive today. That would've been fuckin awesome.
Dilla and steez collab would be v nice
RIP to real ones
I love videos where you actually develop a beat, on-camera, using the technique that you're describing. It's great to see the way that an artist works and adds some context to what you're saying. Peace!
+Lavish Deluna (LIES LAVISH) my pleasure and peace!
DILLA and Sean Price on an album called The Price of a Donut... Damn !
Rip to these greats.
LNP
+LENOVOPRODUCER haha NICE!
I'd love to see a J Dilla x Knxwledge collab
This channel is so sick. I always thought dillas crazy drums, especially his kick patterns, were the greatest but these videos make me love them even more
Glad you like them!
I swear i could loop and listen to the bar at 1.39 for hours...beautiful programming...
+Yoël Lind-Ruos right!!
Kendrick all the way.. that would be way too dope.
Kendrick rapped on the Players Beat before he really started gaining traction
Kendrick was rapping on dilla's beats on his training day mixtape, would be even dope if he was alive to collab with k dot in the future
second this
Very informative tutorial! I'm enjoying all of your Dilla inspired techniques videos!!! What my ear is hearing, is a fairly constant snare/clap & hhat, but what's contributing to the overall funk/feel, is the kick. The kick is what has the very 'free' feel, and lends the beat it's J Dilla signature.
thanks for stopping by and nice insight bro
dilla x earl sweatshirt
khyle salis exactly what I was Fucking sayinn!!
I was gonna say tyler but Earl is perfect
@@Maxogrady yea but tyler only likes rapping on his own production
@@hazybeatz1327 yeah, that's true. But he raps on other people's beats when he is featured like on the pusha t song (I can't remember what it is called)
YESSSS
Rakim indeed as far as MC. If you talking singer, I'd say the female of the group "Groove Theory." She has a voice and swag over beats that was truly ill and underrated in my opinion. Great video as usual my dude.
much thanks and i agree with you
oh shit! this channel is GOLD! gonna binge watch these tonight! thanks!
Thanks bro!
Like I am doing now. :D Great channel. Interesting stuff on point.
Singer Amy Winehouse, rapper Kendrick
I would love to hear Dilla and MY GUY phon tigga!! 🔥✊
On another Dilla technique episode you should show how he flipped the 6/8 signature by chopping the different kick/hat/snare hits on "It's Your World"
Just want to say that even I'm more then experienced with makin beats it's always nice to be reminded of some fundamentals. Your videos always inspire me thanks.
I appreciate that!
I need people like you in my life, such good energy man, keep doing you please
+dro G thanks for stoppiing by!
Earl Sweatshirt, Mick Jenkins, Early Eminem, Mac Miller, Joey Badass, ALL of TDE, and maybe a little Logic.
Dilla and Rakim YES! That would have been dope. Madlib is still with us and needs to get this done asap
salute
@@Verysickbeats Salute to you bruh hey do you critique beats for people? I have a ton of Ideas, but feel I need some polishing. The sequencer in Reason drives me crazy sometimes
I'd want Dilla to work with me!
Best answer! Hahahaha
I gotta say 9th wonder I wanna see them two collab on something beautiful...that would be dope.
Flying Lotus
Musiq Soulchild
Rakim
J. Cole
Kendrick Lamar
Oshun
Soulchild💯
J Dilla and Nujabes. Gives me chills just to think about it.
+Luminoir They're making beats 'upstairs' right now.
+Daniel M J. Dilla and Nujabes on the beat. Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole on mic. Now that gives me chills!
Dilla face sticker on my back windshield rollin' around Detroit showing respect like I'm spose to. Dilla will always be our Hometown Hero! Rest In Beats
salute
J Dilla and Anderson .Paak would be dope
guru
How could u not love this guy ? Thank you !
my pleasure
@@Verysickbeats yo J i gotta Mpc 2500 and i got a new 16gb cf card san disk . But when i try to format it my mpc 2500 freezes do u know why? Is it too much for mpc 2500?
i love your videos man, always great info and your sense of humor makes them funny to watch
+JUNK PHOTO LOL thanks for watching
hell yeah
Dilla x Earl
action bronson, joey badass, j.cole, earl sweatshirt, Tyler the creator, pro era etc
+LORDE OWS I was thinking Action myself..Joey too.
+Joelific that would be very dope no doubt
Like me by Joey badass is actually a Dilla beat
Kendrick & Cole joint album with Dilla on the beats
DILLA worked with exactly who he needed to. Busta, qtip, ebadu, questluv, madlib . . . . . . . That's what made his career so gr8 !!! Time & health got the better of him but other than that his journey was flawless . . . . . .
salute
Oooo. The letter R and Jay Dee?! Sounds like a mashup in the works.
Isaiah Rashad x J Dilla
They are perfect for each other man
j dilla , pete rock and grup lova making a beat
"The Dilla Drum Pattern Concept Technique Or Whatever" has a nice ring to it.
salute
A lot of songs use that snare pattern but its used throughout the loop. Dilla brought it in just once in the 8 bar loop in an unexpected place. And lowered the level a bit. Made it sweet.
Dilla X Big L
RIP
MRYEMAN for sure
MRYEMAN maaaaaaan
This one
Ghostface Killah, Rass Kass, MF Doom, Joey Badass
Bobby E Beauty Jackson for GFK, Sniper Elite, Lightworks, many more with MF DOOM.
Percy Miracle ! A nice rnb joint
the hats on the coastin beat!
Lupe Fiasco, Rapsody, Add-2, and "1999 mixtape" Joey BadA $$
I second Kendrick. maybe thundercatttttt! that would be sick..a little dragon dilla thing would be nice also
Thundercat would be incredible.
So freakin simple. Yet SO effective
Couldn't be more right about Rakim would be perfect, And thank you for your videos! I just started using and MPC and your videos have really helped me starting out.
salute and my pleasure
MF DOOM
Great tip i am hearing it but my programming sux timing sux. maybe you can do a video on how to become a better drum programmer i need those tips thanks everytime bro.
+slliks67 tip: practice.
damn man you need practice there is no better technique than copying other drum patterns and practicing playing them.
+Krabat J Thanks Bro will do see ifnibcan play along with james brown drummers
DOOM was on a few Dilla joints, look up the Sniperlite EP or Lightworks from Born Like This
Another great new resource is Melodics, Think of it as guitar hero but you use a MIDI controller. Guys like Jeremy Ellis, Jazzy Jeff, and Gas Lamp Killer all contribute tutorials that you play a long with + Classic breaks such as the Amen and Think break. It's subscription based, like 9 bucks a month. Originally I thought it'd be cheesy, but it has made improvements in my timing and finger independence.
Also i recommend watching actual drummer tutorials.
skills823 the way I create drum patterns is following the rhythm. What this tutorial is saying is your basic triple and swing method. Its a common method used by jazz drummers. Listen to jazz drummers and get a feel. I created my own drum pattern signature buy listening to old jazz records. I been producing since 92 and still use this method. When I make beats you can tell I did it vs one of my boys and so on.
Oh and "old style" Eminem. How did that collab never happen coming from the D?
+The Chris Cash i have no idea!
ua-cam.com/video/QHOYFSDmSNA/v-deo.html
always asked myself this question... I think bears room for a conspiracy
For anyone who actually has a problem with the snare time - just count 16s instead of 8s, it's on 16. Same place where the first kick is on the classic boom bap thing he starts playing after - B-boom boom bap. the "B" is on 16 and the "boom" after is on 1.
Of course there doesn't need to be a rule, you could offset just this extra drum with triplets or something else, depends on the rest of the beat.
Still Shining was the song that made me open up the tape cover to read the production credits. Didn't know who this Jay Dee guy was at all, but i thought whoever it was lost his mind. This ain't no 2, 4, 8 or even 16 bar loop! Who does this??? Even how the song starts, the snare comes in on the 1 (on the 1...), like what kind of intro was that??? But it was crazy funky as hell! I would eventually learn more about this crazy guy during the ummah years. Then I lost my mind when i learned that this dude had a group. All production by this Jay Dee cat on one album? RIP to the master.
+Joshua Lathan Sr. great comment thank u!
the grimmy CL Smooth
Any of the Fugees working with him would have been amazing
Any of The Fugees (except for Pras)
+Benny Troung definitely not Pras Lol!!!
Marley Marl did a video for Dubspot where he talks about ghost notes in drums which is similar. He basically explains an extra note between the normal kick & snare gives it a more human feeling. Excellent video Mr. Filt.
+DJ Chosen 1 thanks bro
This vid popped up in my timeline. Great video! Keep it moving! I'm rolling with you.
AZ
Maybe a super uncreative answer but JD coproducing with FlyLo sounds like it would've been unreal
Geoff Smith i feel u
unimaginative .
I mean its a little obvious but it would honestly probably be one of the best albums ever, madvillain status +
EM on that ‘Drop’ track by the pharcyde✌🏽
yes a true finger drummer master gonna try your techniques
+DED W8 LOL thanks for watching
I would like to hear Aesop Rock freestyle over Dilla.
all this comments makes me want to go get some acapellas & do mashups
+Banz Blank i know right, i love all yall
so far i watched 2 videos and i gained so much knowledge within those videos. good looks my G!
my pleasure
This videos great and I appreciate the hell out of your energy. In sheet music, thats how sixteenth notes are counted. We'd count |1-e-&-a|2-e-&-a| and we'd say the snare would come in on the a of 3
salute
kendrick or mobb deep
J Dilla x Joey Bada$$
they haven't worked together he just rapped on his beats
One of tha best channels on UA-cam..salute bro🙏

Peter Jetson fuck no

dillla with kendrick
I love how you always laugh and encourage just to have fun. These videos are legit! Jay D was amazing!
+volcomchild17 Lol, thats what its really all about...thanks for watching!
So many MCs and producers never get past the crochet phase. Quavers and semi quavers are where it's at 😊
Also you right on the rakim tip bro
salute
Bjork
would have been very interesting!
A Nujabes / Dilla collab would be too good for this earth
Jessie Armstrong Heaven must be great
I will NEVER understand why Nujabes is so overhyped. Seems like all you gotta do is die to be praised.
DaveDEF82 U dont need to understand. Its fine
H4inz G
if you do then please explain it to me... cause it sure as hell is not because of their musical magnitude or skill. and please don't tell me it's because of their birth and death dates...
DaveDEF82 Doesnt sound like its worth explaining it to u. See it as personal preference. Have a nice day
Dilla with Cole and Doom on the same track would be absolute 🔥
Man you are the best teacher I have ever had! Keep it up
Wow, thanks!
me
Would have to be celine dion.
your psych is infectious, mad props brother🙌
salute
Hey my man I’m REALLY diggin into Dilla right now and trying my best to absorb as much ea 90’s / early 2000 Boom Bap knowledge that I can. I very much appreciate all the insights and time and effort you put into this. I would love to pick your brain on a more one on one basis. I’ve got all the gear in the world and I’m eager to learn. Hope you are well. Peace
come to my website, I offer 1 on 1 skype consultations

Fred Civil That would be dope
J dilla and People under the stairs would be so much interesting !
3:05 Syncopation: a temporary displacement of the regular metrical accent in music caused typically by stressing the off-beat or weak beat.
salute
Dilla + Luther Vandross would be dope. Keep dropping the gems on us bro. Thanks!
+muzixco very interesting
Bahamadia is my pick J..
Gems you are dropping..
+JazzMatic1967 dope!
That drum programming is sick!!!!!!!!!! Nothing like it...
+TakeAGnarBar NOTHING
Very helpful videos. Really getting into beat making and J Dilla and your videos are perfect for breaking it all down in simple terms. Thank you for your knowledge
my pleasure
i would love to see Dilla work with Kendrick i think they would have a lot to say on a record, both musically and lyrically. Thanks bro for your labour of love keep it coming.
+Christopher Iheobi i agree and my pleasure
I would have loved him to work with immortal technique which Tech did end up rapping on a dilla beat but long after he had passed
Very dope, you opened my eyes a bit wider with this one.
+Tyler Robinson awesome!
dilla and Redman.....they both funky
don't even produce with an mpc but the videos just spread knowledge and positivity
salute
