    digesting this video and I am so glad I did. Keep up the good work Splice!🙌 Whoever came up with this idea to actually teach production as a change in direction for splice is a BLOODY genius and DESERVES a raise. And so DOES Nick😤. He is a BLOODY Legend!!!

      I like to, as someone with a background in drumming, approach it with funk. If you know how to do funk, do that and make it more like your bassdrum is hyperactive. To get a good starting point, I'd suggest Commodores' Brick House and RHCP's Give It Away. It might not help you as much with those unnatural hihat rolls, but it definitly helps with the bassdrum

      1. Find an example of a drum pattern you like
      2. Download it and drag it into your DAW
      3. Isolate a full loop and cut it at the start and finish
      4. Adjust the tempo to fit the song
      5. Use the grid to see which hits go where
      6. Voila, you can now replicate any drum pattern

      @@sosickhcdrums No problem. Note that most music with real drums will not have a completely consistent tempo, so you will notice the hits lining less and less up with the grid the longer you make the sample. So with those, at least for the sake of learning how to make them, I'd recommend slicing the clip into as few hits as possible.
