Hip Hop Beat Making Tip: When making Detroit style hip hop beats, the type of drums you select and the drum patterns you program are critical. Selecting proper samples also plays an important part in the sound. 1970’s black film soundtracks and/or soulful samples tend to work well. To update or modernize the sound of your Detroit hip hop, try adding neo-soul organic timing to the top end of your drums. If you are someone looking to perfect the Detroit hip-hop sound as a beat maker or music producer, Big Noise MPC has the resources you need to deliver the goods. Video tutorials, hip hop drum samples, soulful sound packs and a niche collection of analog audio gear. All part of the select offerings designed to help you achieve success. Quality that sets you apart from the competition.
