Recording Notes

• The drum sound is largely based on samples, likely sourced from vinyl records.
• The Akai MPC60 would have been used to chop, sequence, and trigger the samples.
• The Roland TR-808 may have been used to add extra weight to the bass drum.
• The SSL console would have been used for EQ and compression.

Recreation Tips

• Start with clean, punchy drum samples.
• Use an MPC-style sampler to chop and sequence the samples.
• Apply compression to the drum bus to glue the elements together and increase punch.
• Use EQ to shape the tone and remove any unwanted frequencies.
• Consider adding a touch of saturation or distortion to add warmth and character.
