wassup everybody its your man JFilt from howtomakeverysickbeats.com
a yall see the teeshirt i got another dilla technique for you guys
so lets get into it so today we are going to use a tambourine
technique lets call this the dilla tambournine technique
i guess i just be naming stuff
so anyway i got a tambourine
you can either use a real tambourine or you can sample do some digging
find you some tambourines off a record or whatever
or get you kit that has a tambourine in it shout out to verysickdrums
thats a quick shameless plug that has tambourines in it
so you could do that and once you have the tambourine sample
your gonna put it in your mpc maschine whatever you use
software i dont care and your gonna throw it in
16 levels alright so
lets go so this tutorial is based off of many beats
but in particular i wanna point out the yancey boys instrumental
sunset blvd i know yall hip to that one right
its crazy flowers is the track i want yall
to listen to the tambourines off this joint listen real closely here we go
listen yall hear that
crazy right just nasty it got the shaker in it and the tambourines
but the tambourines is what i want to point out
becuz tambourines not just tambourines but shakers and really hihats really really
gives that swing to a beat and we're gonna talk about tambourines
now keep in mind this also works for hihats it works for any percussion instrument
so if you have a tambourine sample like i do
right here throw that in 16 levels
whatever drum machine equipment you have software whatever
so now you got 16 levels that means different velocities from softest to the loudest
right and you gonna use a pattern to create the
simulation of a tambourine swinging so let me play just like a click track
and imma show yall a technique that you can use
first practice just on the table or edge of your drum machine
or whatever like this imma show you
yall hear this beat its real slow
1 2 3 4 do this
1234 1234 1234 yall hear that
1234 1234 1234 once you get that down
bring that to the pads 1234 1234 1234
now the trick is to use accents
and thats why you want it in 16 levels this is the loudest
this is the softest so you can do this
something like this 1234 1234 1234
and switch off the different accents so 1 is right here the loudest
and 1234 1234 and you can do it to whatever tempo you want
right now i got it real slow just so yall can get it
ok here we go
and 1234 1234 1234 or you can change up the accent if you want
to lets say you wanna start right here
watch this 1234 1234 1234
see i put the 3 on the loudest pad or say 1234 1234 1234
you know do it however you want to
switch it up and it makes it sound like its actually shaking
use the different pads just mix it all up
make it gumbo ok thats a good way to make it swing
so im messing with a beat without the tambourines and then imma add
the tambourines so yall can hear the difference with the swing
here we go im not using any quantizing
im doing all this live by the way here we go listen
now with the tambourine 1234 1234 1234
see now lets switch it up
i dont care what pad you play i dont even care just do different accents
see what you come up with have fun
i'll see yall
on the next one Peace!
