Trip Hop Drums Tutorial: Return of the BOOM BAP 2021

For more information on Reason: Ever since those Portishead folks in Bristol found the magic that happens when you pitch a drum sample down and bath it in gloomy reverb, Trip Hop has been one of the most popular genres for people learning to make beats. Trip Hop, boom bap type beats, lofi-hiphop and nujazz from the 1990s seems to still inspire trip hop 2021. When we got requests to cover Trip Hop in this tutorial series, we wondered what people were really asking for. Trip Hop is a sample-loop based genre that doesn’t require too much production wizardry, if you don’t’ want it to... In this tutorial, however, we’ll cover those basics but we’ll also delve further into the sound design theory that lies behind those loops so that you can create your own custom Trip Hop sounds and beats. For the nerds: We’ll get down to the nitty gritty and you’ll even learn to emulate that signature trip-hop MPC 2500 shuffle.
