Swingy Drum Breaks Pt. 1 // Square Up

Videos, sample packs, stems & more: https://www.patreon.com/winslowxyz Part 2: https://youtu.be/OiO9wI9cuIU So I'm working on a new tune and thought it'd useful to record the whole session focused solely on the drums. Following all the steps in the previous "How I clean up Crusty Drum Breaks", I take a bunch of one shots, breakbeats, and Kontakt Drums then form them all together to one new drum sound. Feel free to skip around as it is a long and sorta boring process but the result is always worth...usually. For example, towards the middle I almost gave up but managed to turn it around.
