My Full Guide To Boom Bap Drums (Process, Sequence, & Resample!)

I've been dragging this video for a while but I finally got it out. This is the process I take to make sure my drums swing, knock, and sound good (for boom bap at least).

I hope these tips and tricks help you out. - This video's drum break Black Cat - Lovin' You (Drum Break - Loop) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7C4CPOurBQ - *My Favorite Drum Break Picks* 1.
