  • The rhythm doesn't sound like breakbeat at all even if I pitch this video down to regular 160bpm.

    Neither does it sound like 220 :o

  • The term breakbeat is used by different groups and changed over the last 15 years or so. They used it when jungle came up in the mid 90's and nowadays it's used for hiphop grooves, a bit confusing I find. The focus in this vid is on D&B grooves, where the term is used as well for broken rhythms. The rhythm is of course 220 Bpm. The tempo of a beat is decided by the quarter notes in a beat (snare is here on 2 and 4), that's how you decide the tempo of a beat or song. Cheers Ydna

  • this is far from 220 and it's far from breakbeat, which runs at about 150 like house music :F

  • Please check my comment above regarding the 220 Bpm.

  • @Jungleritter He's not talking about the Breakbeat genre, he's talking about the term 'breakbeat' in its traditional sense which is a beat, which breaks apart from the regular beat of the song, usually at a faster pace and/or off-beat syncopations.

  • Thanks for clarifying this :-)

  • @DarkRezo house music is everytime about 128 bpm :D

  • some of the best sounding drums I have ever heard

  • Are you using electronic triggers on your various drums? They sound too... good.. to be completely acoustic!

    If so, what drum brain do you use?

    GBTMB

  • Well, I like to hear that! The drums are all acoustic, no triggers involved. The quality of the drums is good, my recording equipment and room are not great but decent and I know quite a bit about audio engineering, that together delivers a fairly good sound. I use some plug ins and hardware equipment like preamps, noise gates, compressors etc. Glad to hear you like the sound, take care!

    Ydna

  • For something fast, go check bobby jarzombek. Anyway, your vid is good !

  • baaaaddd!

  • Im in sample heaven!!!!!

    

  • well i listen to Happy Hardcore and Gabber

    and those are relatively fast ( 175-200 ) and this doesnt really sound 220 for me D:

  • Yeah, I know, that's probably because I don't play 16th notes. The Bpm tempo of a drum beat or song is decided by the pulse, or quarter notes.The snare here is played on 2 and 4, so if you count the 1,2,3, and 4 and measure it you're gonna see it is 220 Bpm indeed.

    Cheers

    Ydna

  • @Jungleritter Respect !!!

  • @rekinu5 Most people talking about those speeds are speaking of 16th notes, with this guy speaking of 8ths, to use the language of the guys you're talking about (16ths), he's playing 110

  • dude, do you have some selfmade dnb tracks ?

  • Yes, I have some available. Just go to CDBaby or iTunes and type in my name Ydna Murd and you're gonna find it :-)

    Thanks for your interest, Cheers

  • good lord, how many snares you got?

  • Hahaha, well, currently in use on my drumkit 3, a 14" and two 10", the other ones are on the shelf, waiting for their turn :-)

    Cheers

    Ydna

  • Nice job :D You really want us to hear that bass drum, right ?

  • Yeah, bass drum is good :-) Thanks and Cheers

    Ydna

  • Nice video :)

  • less talk more drums

  • Awesome! Is your book available in PDF form? I'm on the other side of the world and if I can avoid the shipping costs I'd grab a copy :)

  • Thanx :-) Unfortunately the book is not available as a pfd file, sorry. I use ground shipping which is quite cheap but it would take about 9 weeks to NZ...

    Cheers

  • boring mate

  • try doing deathmetal, its usually around the 200 bpm and its very challenging.

  • Wow! I can't believe there is such an astute instructor and school of this level in Powell River? How did I miss this...haha...cool and philcmyk is an ass...obvioulsy doesn't drum much if at all to not see the amazing rudiments.

  • Thanks mate! Yeah, Powell River is a great place for drumming and mountain biking :-) Where are you from?

    As far as the comment down below goes, I don't care, the YouTube community is great but every now and then there are idiots around just leaving hate mail on other peoples pages, I guess we all have to live with that, best to just ignore those idiots, I guess...

  • all the people who use machines to generate this sort of drum n bass are good enough alright, but when this man plays it right infront f you i just think WOW! pure natural talent at its best. i am in awe i really am. well done and keep up the great work!

  • Thanks, I really appreciate your comment!! The whole purpose of my channel here is to inspire drummers to play this music, it's all doable, for sure :-) And I'd love to see more drummers playing this stuff live...

    Cheers

    Ydna Murd

  • this guy is a fucking retard

  • @philcmyk This guy is great, your just jelous

  • i'd like to see him playing techno layered beats. he's awesome

  • @Jungleritter : Hello, I love your video dude, I subscribe ! I have a question about this one : is this an "effect" add by computer at 0:20 (when you open your hi-hat, the sound is "tchak - tchak) or is your cymbal do that sound ? Thank's, and keep up good work ! (and sorry if I do mistake but I'm french :/ )

  • Hi, I let the hi-hat run through a pitch shifter in this video, the sound is pitched down, that's why it sounds like that :-)

    Cheers from Canada

    Ydna

  • You want a challenge on drums? Try and play this song. It's breakcore, which, in the artists case, means the drums have to be nearly impossible to play. It's all artificial though. Here's a link:

    /watch?v=opQddrEqalg

  • Nice one dude! Keep up the good work!

  • Thanks mate :-) I'll try...

  • It's so much fun to watch your vids! You make drumming look so easy. I really enjoy your channel!

  • Thanks so much! I really appreciate it :-)

  • you look like adam sandler from the side

  • I heard that before :-)

  • 110

    

  • hey.. i noticed you typed out your last name in a comment to somebody.. your last name backwards is DRUM.. thats awesome.

  • Yeah, that is awesome but it's not a coincidence, it's the artist name I use, Drum Andy backwards ;-)

  • Please let me know what small snare are you using?

  • Sure, that's a 10" Mapex Black Panther.

  • Not sure if your still updating this, but nice video. I've been working on this for awhile.

    What splash cymbal are you using at 2:54?

  • Sure, that's a 8" Zildijan A Custom splash.

    Cheers

    Ydna

  • This vid should be renamed as "Dude in front of drums run his mouth"

  • What kind of softwere and effects did you use in this video?

  • Hello, I record with Logic Audio. Can't really remember what effects I was uing in this video but usually there's a little bit of Distortion on the bass drum to give it this electronic sound. All the other stuff is regular drumset treatment like compressor, noise gate, some reverb, exciter. I might have used a pitch shifter on the hihat, I do that sometimes to change my hihat sound.

    Cheers

    Ydna Murd

  • @Jungleritter Thanks and btw nice job!

  • What kind of softwere and effects do you use in this video?

  • SPEEDCORE!!!!!!!!!

  • im not sure thats a very good break beat vibe..

  • There's probably a lot of beats on my channel you could sample. Some DJ's did that in the past and send me the links to their work, that's really cool. Go ahead and give it a try, I don't mind at all.

    Cheers

    Ydna Murd

  • @Jungleritter really good you allowing sampling of your drums, your snare sounds epic! gr8 playing, beautiful flow and groove

  • Thanx mate, I really appreciate it :-)

    Cheers

    Ydna Murd

  • Can you go faster?

  • Yes, but that doesn't make much sense. D&B is usually played around 170 up to 190 with very fast songs. So 220 Bpm is way over the top already, just to showcase how well this technique works.

    Cheers

    Ydna

  • @Jungleritter

    Versuch es mal mit Aphex Twin.

  • 16 sec of this video and i subbed you :D

  • "Hi... ;)"

  • Nicely done mon ami, I am just learning. Mind if I use your instructional videos? Merci.

    What can I do for you?

  • What you can do for me, hahaha? I don't know, continue to watch my videos I guess, that would be nice :-)

    All the best

    Ydna

  • You're giving me a ton of ideas for writing, and I'm a metal bassist.

  • he's chillin by doing it

  • BAD !

  • love the rack man, looks just like mine, hardware & all... Pearl Jeff Porcaro rack. Very cool beats man.

  • Thanks! Yeah, the rack is really nice, I love it

  • @metal4me76

    my girlfriend has a nice rack

  • Very nice. Appreciate your efforts!

  • You're welcome, appreciate your comment :-)

  • he drums slow.... :(

  • Hey, uhm nice samples

  • talk too much moore drumm pleaseee

  • talk too much

  • beautiful hi hat

  • @mayolicious69 yeah, sounds totally awesome, as if the hi hat would actually say the wort "bitch" :D

  • Mind if I sample this? Well, I will anyway.

  • That's fine. Sometimes people send me a link if they upload stuff where they used my samples. I really enjoy listening to that, would be nice if you could do that as well :-)

  • awesome!, now i got the sound tsht tsht tsht  thast tsht tsht tsht tsht tsht tsht tshat! haha!

  • this is what i like to play on my druums aswell but together with a bass and head guitar and a voice plus synth. so you can create your own dNb

    great thanks to you for showing me some easy tricks how to play it faster like the paradiddle stuff and no i know that i also have to buy an effect snar and stuff which you do own already :D

  • what hi hats are those?

  • These are 13" Zildijan K's

  • @Jungleritter is that a piccolo snare?

  • No, piccolo shells are not as deep, this is just a smaller 10" snare

  • @madguitarist104 I believe that piccolo means 3" deep or less, and then you have diameters: 'regular' (14"), 'soprano' (12" and 13") and 'sopranino' (10"). Hope this helped! :)

  • This is pro.

  • sounds cool

  • oooooh 69 Vids!!!

  • DO THE AMEN BREAK :O

  • i just cant stop listening 2 ur stuff

    check out my channel

  • cool...konnte gleich am namen un an dem nicht orginal englischn akzent erkenn das du deutscher bist :) aber interessantes vid

  • Jo, den deutschen Akzent kann man schwer ablegen, das macht aber auch gar nichts :-) Frohes Neues!!

  • I'm no drum expert or anything but shouldn't you do exactly the opposite of what this video says? I mean, not playing on the hi-hat when you play the snare just so you can play faster kinda sounds like an easy way around getting your chops up. I think if you can't play fast you should just practice more. Amazing beats like the Purdie Shuffle wouldn't even exist if drummers did this. And I'm not saying this guy is bad drummer at all (He's better than me) but I respectfully disagree.

  • It's more a question of feel than chops. A funk drummer for example might choose using both hands for 16th notes on the hi-hat not because he can't play faster but he can play with a better feel. Sometimes notes played at the limit are what you want (like in punk music), sometimes you opt for the better feel. It has to make sense in a musical way. It's a great idea to practice for speed as well of course, to have the technique to decide either way.

    Happy New Year!

  • @Jungleritter

    Also, when you leave the hats out on a backbeat it give that note a more compressed feel, which make the dynamics of the whole groove seem exaggerated. even at slower tempos. Not good for every groove, but these sound killing.

  • @Jungleritter Great vids! This is similar to Jojo Mayer's "reverse engineering" approach, is it not?

  • I don't know, never heard of this concept, sounds interesting. I'm gonna try to find some info about it.

    Cheers

  • Hey! Ich hab dein Buch "Breakbeat Guide" von meinem Bruder zu Weihnachten und freu mich schon den Wälzer durchzuackern und richtig damit abgehen zu können! Machst auf jeden Fall ne geile Arbeit und viele deiner Videos ham mir schon sehr geholfen! Gruß aus Ludwigsburg :)

  • Das ist schoen zu hoeren :-) Frohe Weihnachten und viel Spass mit deinen Drums!

  • just doesn't sounds like drum n bass. too fast!

  • wow! those hihats sound fantastic! what are they?

  • These are 13" Zildijan K's :-)

  • @coltonatron It´s a custom K hi hat pair, I guess. Am I right, Mr Ydna Murd?

  • your hi-hat really sounds exactly like someone doing beatbox

  • How the fcuk does he roll that highhat so clean?...

    Id like to see the snotty brat do that!

  • That is awsome!

  • amazing drumming 'keep up the gr8 work'

  • Thank you, I really appreciate it :-))

  • U r a great drummer so keep it up :-)

  • tricky little beat there... tried for hours, cant freakin do it. I don't understand why, lol. practice practice~!

  • big big up to the drum master... peng

  • is your mic on?

  • love the kit!

  • Another thing don't say ( HI ) half way through you video becuase we know your there a goood thing to do it just say what the beats called we don't need your whole life story !

  • @BarnesProduction <- Idiot. With your mediocre bops skill and dumbed down comment; Im gonna say Ydna knows what he's doing compared to you and most other people that post stupid shit on his videos. Great job Ydna, keep up the good work!

  • @BarnesProduction wow what an absolute cunt you are.

  • @BarnesProduction You are an imbecilic child. Stop trying to show off kid. There is nothing wrong with saying "Hi", it's called a quick introduction, in which he followed up with his drumming talk, not a life story. Fucking moron.

  • @BarnesProduction Your a noob this guy is amazing, his snare work at the end gave me chills. If you think your better post a video responce.

  • @BarnesProduction <----- What a dumb fuck

  • @BarnesProduction

    I don't think he needs advice from a 15 year old.

  • What exactly are you doing in that repeated fill from 0:17 to 0:24? (the one with the double strokes and the "1 2+ +4" rhythm between the snare and bass) It sounds cool and I would like to learn it :0

  • This is a sticking pattern based on triplets: LRR LRR LRR L L (the last two are two eight notes on the snare drum) So, left hand plays on the snare drum and the right one on the hi-hat.

    Cheers

  • monkey drummer!

  • No, it's not. The backbeat of the snare on 2 and 4 should tell you where the quarter notes are. 220 Bpm is not very fast, there's no need to cheat viewers.

  • @Jungleritter Ok, 55 then :)

  • Trip hopping drum and bass.

  • remember Breakbeat is totally different than D'n'B

  • thanks for letting me sample your great recording!

  • very clean playing there, nice

  • i got a fast drum video called fast drum solo check it,,

  • i hate to say it, but its simply too groovy to be breakbeat/dnb drumming (and too fast ;). keep in mind you're drawing your main influences from something made on computer ;) not that dnb cant be "groovy" but i guess its groovy in another sence, with a bit more mechanical feel to it

  • Yeah, I know what you mean and I think you're right. But D&B is changing all the time and there are more and more bands incorporating live drumming, I guess the drumming in this video belongs to that category. The tempo is certainly faster than most D&B songs are, but the technique idea helps with tempos around 180 Bpm as well.

    Take care

    Ydna

  • @Jungleritter For Example: Pendulum, DJ FU and Jungle Drummer. Awesome drummers and you are great too man!! Keep it up!!! And join some bassist and someone with synths and you're gonna kick all asses around the world. I'm your huge fan!!

  • Thanx mate! :-) I've been trying to find some people to get a band/DJ project together without luck. Will keep on trying...Cheers Ydna

  • @Jungleritter you're absolutely right, it just came to my mind when i watched the video yesterday. great drumming anyway!

  • @jovocoenn "I hate to say it" but the break beat came from a funk band from a song called "amen brother" thus the "amen beat" , not from a computer

  • Oi ... I'd love to sample these =o

  • Go ahead, no prob :-)) Send me a link if you´ve used them in a song, would love to check it out.

    Cheers

    Ydna

  • Thanks for the nice comment :--))

  • your snare is to die for! :)

  • Bass drum sounds like a beast!

  • Once again brother you nailed it!!!

  • Amazing speed... That was too fast! I didn't see drumsticks!

    joke..

  • What is the name of the small upside down cymbal that sits on you crashes? I really one some :)

  • I have a UFIP China Splash 10" on my left crash and a Paiste 6" Bell on my right crash, both are mounted upside down.

  • @Jungleritter Cool. Does that add to the sound or something or is it to display the cymbals if you do not have room ;)

  • It doesn´t add to the sound of the main cymbal, it just saves cymbal stands and they are also conveniently reachable.

  • That has to be the most vertically angled china I've ever seen xD But to each his own, thumbs up for creativity and awesome drumming :D

  • not rhythmically

  • Awesome. You = Awesome! Subscribed :D

  • What is the hi-hat? pretty interesting sound.

  • That´s a 13" Zildijan K

  • geiler scheiss!

  • Beautiful!

  • that is NO WAY 220 !!! maybe 110 double timed ... I've seen a well known drummer dropping REAL drums on dnb tunes.. and trust me.. it's a LOT faster than that.. your not even breaking a sweat.. if you were at them tempos you would be :)

  • Of course it is. If you own a metronome, set it to 220 Bpm and check it out. My backbeat is on 2 and 4, that means I play the snare drum on every second quarter note. D&B is usually around 160 to 180 Bpm, these grooves are just a bit faster. Check it out :-))

    Cheers

    Ydna Murd

  • @Jungleritter i dint understood a shit but rule on drums teach me how to play that beat and the jungle druming hahaha i thik that it is going to be very difficult haha 'cause i've never drumming lessons and i dont understand anything about the metronome stuff so if u can do that or a least send me a video with a "lesson" :P eweee90@hotmail.com well i hope you have the chance to do that 'cause you really look like an experienced man with drumminb and all that stuff about de beats. well :)
  • Getting lessons from a drum instructor is really great (if he knows what he´s doing) but if you can´t find one just stick with watching as many drum videos as you can. You are gonna pick up a lot of useful stuff. Check out all my other vids too, there´s lots of information there as well.

    Take care

    Ydna

  • @Jungleritter With respect, sure it's 220, but I don't think it's drum & bass. It's more like a two-beat. I would feel uncomfortable playing this beat and calling it D&B. I think what cosine303 means is that it's not really busy enough... sounds good, just not D&B I think. Again, no disrespect intended...

  • @cosine303

    110 bpm double-timed = 220 bpm

  • @cosine303

    well no, i listen to drum and bass which is usually around 165bpm, this is clearly a lot faster than that

  • @hemansx without naming names, I've seen someone drumming for dnb stuff. the old stuff is 160-165 , newer .. well 174-185... I can sample a bar.. chuck it into recycle.. and it'll tell me the true tempo.. trust it's not that fast. claiming its 220 bpm.. is pure BS.. I should say I make tunes also ;-)

  • @cosine303

    as do i g man, as do i

  • Dude, it's really not that hard to take a metronome and find out the real tempo. Accusing others without having any clue how to measure music is really not very nice,isn't it? One bar has 4 quarter notes, with the snare drum usually sitting on 2 and on 4 (called the backbeat). Set your metronome on 220, tap along and you will see that this
