    Theres a whole ass book called Dilla Time that explains J's rhythm theory. I highly recommend reading it. Theres a myth that Dilla didn't use quantize or TC (the MPC term for quantize, keep in mind Dilla used the MPC3000 as his main tool)
    This myth is largely untrue, MPCs have a highly customizable TC interface and you can have entirely different TC settings on each individual drum.
    Rushing the snares by a 64th note is one of the trademark drum techniques that instantly gives your beat that detroit feeling. The book covers dozens of other techniques in depth

  • @intihumala9087
    @intihumala9087 Před rokem +9

    I feel like at tip 3 having a background in drums comes into play because I played the drums in school and thats how I got into beat making. I knew who J dilla was back in 1996 so I was already familiar with his style due to being a huge Slum Village fan but I could always identify with his drum beats because thats how a drummer plays. Very sporadic and erotic. Black Milk who is also from Detroit plays drums the same.
