It would be cool to have a similar video about bass.
Case in point: when you master a craft, you’re a natural teacher
Masters aren't always the best teachers but when they talk it's pure signal, not littered with noise and filler
Music youtube is full of fake experts that just have GAS and want to have a plausible reason to keep buying more, like actually making music 😂
Marlow is one of the good ones
He’s a great teacher #goat
@@daniel_dumile You don’t have to be a master to be a good teacher, but it helps. Is that you, DOOM?! 😅
One thing I appreciate about your videos is you just get to the point and give the solid information but also it doesn’t feel rushed
🙏🏼

Solid advice and easy to understand. It gets no better honostly. The lessons about the accents are gems. PAY ATTENTION. Thank you Marlow.🙏🏾
Thanks for tuning in
One the best tips from Marlow the MPC Head ever. Explaining the kick placements at 48 positions on the grid and 24 and 72 positions for the accents as he calls them. Don’t forget to shift the notes to loosen them up also. I have a theory that the hip hop pioneers use similar methods using the step editor aka list editor also because many started on a tr8-808 programming also before drum sampling on sp12 and mpc60.
Thanks Marlow for the tutorials and the workflows. God bless
Yes that is the next lesson. The next thing is to loosen up the steps by dragging them a bit in either direction. Thanks 🙏🏼
Something that seems simple but can’t tell you how often I struggle with overthinking it. Your approach to looking at it is super helpful. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽🫡

This is a very insightful video for drum pattern arrangement. For me, I seldomly use the step sequencer to create swinging drums. Instead I use 1/16T to record my ghost kicks or use 1/8 and turned up the swing to 65, which is just the right amount of swing for me. After watch this video, I’ll definitely try this way to create my drum patterns and trying out new ideas lately. That’s the beauty of the MPC, opens up unlimited ways and ideas to make beats!
I just got an MPC and it's my first time making music , been having so much fun but struggle on the drum pattern sometimes, forsure going to be trying this out 🔥 🙏
This will help for sure.
I’m a real drummer that make beats, and what I play I can program so I use the grid AFTER I’ve either played the beat with my fingers or on my electronic kit. The flex is using the feature called “nudging” it’s an absolute game changer in terms of quantization.
Yup that's what I use to get my groove.
MPC is dope, Hiphop is dope! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Great video.
That's how I start literally all of my Boom Bap beats; no grid as it is the 2000xl, however, process is nearly the same. Thx for posting!!
My god I had no idea how to do this thank u so much your info is spot on
King Marlow with the tips!!!
I been waiting for a break down video like this for so long, thanks for explaining 1/16 notes , I feel great I’m going to get so much better , thanks Marlow
One of the best drum tutorials I’ve ever seen. Super grateful for this video
🙏🏼🔥🔥
No shame in working with a grid. Creativity is creativity. I’m not a great finger drummer (but I try because it’s fun) so when it comes down to it, do what works for you. What matters is having a good time and going on a sonic journey, no matter what kind of path you take. I’ve also been listening to a lot of Shiro Fujioka aka Voltagectlr lately so a lot of modular has been finding its way into my beats
Working with loops is so much more fun than finger drumming too
I like to put the beat in the grid and just shift the hits to get a humanized feel
This is the most pedagogic drum programming class ever, for any genre! Thanks, Marlow
Explaining this subject with a step sequencer is great! This way you were able to visualize what you were explaining on the fly.
Yes that was the reason why I used the step sequencer, you can see everything much better.
Showing this on the step sequencer was super smart!! Helped a ton thanks a lot!!
Thanks 🙏🏼
I think you just dissected the essence of boom bap at its finest. Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge!
Thanks for tuning in ✌🏼
This was a fire explanation of step editing. This was really good,. It can help people understand leveling sounds to make a certain feel in their music. Ghost notes.
Excellent explanation to the point.
This is SO helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
Welcome 🙏🏼
This is such a fantastic tutorial. I had no idea step sequencer would be so intuitive in making drums. It is so quick to experiment with different patterns and it is surprising how much bounce you can get just using velocity even staying on the grid. Looking forward to using this and then tweaking it off the grid. Thanks very much! 😊
Id love if akai actually made an mpc with a physical step sequencer, very intuitive and fun to use.
Absolute gems! Even the seasoned beat maker can learn from this. Thank you
My favorite style of hip hop. When i apply this technique it does add a clean picture to how the beat is going to groove.
Pure gold, thank you!
As always amazing! Thanks for this one!
Excellent video, appreciate this.
You just made my day!!! Thank you for this wonderful lesson! Pls keep on inspiring us!!
🙏🏼
Great tutorial and sounds.
This is such a relief to see! I kinda stumbled on this technique just through random trial and error, but I've always felt like I have no clue what I'm really doing. I play guitar, not drums. This video really helps me feel less like I'm just faking it.
Great information thank you🔥
WOW u just blew my mind! needed a video like this
🙏🏼
Always good suggestions, Marlow. Thanks much
Thanks for this! very helpful
I have asked for a video on beats in your comments before and you have over delivered! Awesome video
Super dope man!
Thanks always wondered how to do the double kick thing
Thank you!
Great way to think about kick placement.
Very interesting!!! many tanks!!
Sempre a aprender com as tuas deixas, grande abraço mano.
Really informative thank so much.
Thanks for all the videos.
Thanks for tuning in 🙏🏼
Thanks a lot 🎉
This video showed up at the perfect time. I needed this one. I like the way you explained it.
👊🏼🔥🔥
Good info Marlow🤙
Excellent breakdown
🙏🏼
This is helpful. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks!
🙏🏼
Awesome info! Thank you for sharing g!
🙏🏼
Thank you this was so visually informative as well as practical. Super applicable and flexible thank you !
🙏🏼
Dope video
Bro thanks a lot
Thanks marlow
Marlow, thank you for the video brother!!
🙏🏼
dope video
This is the "back to basics" video I didn't know I needed!
I'm a noob/beginner, I've watched quite a lot of videos on MPCs, music production, making songs from scratch, etc., and never once I saw this explained in such a simple and understandable way!
Thank you 🙏
Me either I had no idea I’m completely new to mpc but I’m getting it one day at a time
Great video thanks 😉
Great content bro 🔥
✌🏼🙏🏼
DAM, great video
Great video bro!
🙏🏼
🔥⛽️
Bro you got the illest videos dude! I love watching your videos. Your content is just so gangster.
Repetition is the mother of all skill… And I just love how you enforce that! Salute to you Marlow 🫡
🙏🏼🔥🔥
Thanks!
🙏🏼thank you
Great content, buddy! Plus, you can always add some quantization and make it even more organic. I like to put the ghost kick after the main one, but your approach is also valid. Abraço!
Guess I'm gonna have to start using the step sequencer
Edit: I did use the step sequencer and it was great
I used the step sequencer because is easier to explain but I use the regular recording methods for this.
@@mpchead it's way easier to adjust the velocity and to get a feel for what it sounds like
You know I’ve always hated the term “Ghost Notes” not sure why? I think it just always sounded gimmicky or amateurish! Lol. I believe the first producer I heard use that term was Marley Marl - I prefer the term late or early kick or snare or drop kick or snare!
This video is the equivalent of Neo taking the Red Pill for me
😂🔥🔥
Great video, useful as usual marlow! one quick question, what steps would be preferable for snares? same 3 as the kicks or what? I will get down to it but have to fix my studio first haha peace!
Do a video on percussion
Tremendo Maestro! Thank you for the video, Marlo. Quick question: Where do you get your drum sounds: vinyl records; drum packs, etc? Do you have your own drum pack available for purchase? Gracias!
I have tones of samples already from previous digs and sample packs. I layer everything and make new drums from that. Check this mpchead.bandcamp.com/album/drums-2023
Do hi hats next
Very nice Video thank you. I have been searching a Video like this to learn. Could u maybe continue with the rest of the elements in a drum loop? Like open Hat or others? Thanks a lot.
🙏🏼
Nice video! I am a long time supporter. Is it possible to make a video highlighting the open hi-hat? I rarely see videos incorporating other percussion elements. Thanks!
Great suggestion! Will think about that
Could you please show us the double hat / shaker trick sample you have on almost all your beats?
Hey man, are these drums in one of your sample packs? Thanks!
I can't thumbs up twice
Marlow are you looking seriously at the MKSREC1?
I see it, when is it coming out?
3 months he says
@@PsychologyAcademia ah ok I heard good things about it. I know some beatmakers already testing it saying it sounds good plus the workflow is nice too. Let's hope is not too expensive.
The beat videos are cool but i think u really underestimate these tutorial videos.Big up.
🙏🏼
🫡👍🏾🫡
Hmm doesn’t it bother anyone that he’s saying the same things over and over? I mean, it’s down to the point, but why repeat it so often? Maybe stuck in a loop.
Drizz daNemesis you are like a special teacher to do some more videos thanx a lot. Im still trying👍
