  • This video talks a lot about drums on the MPC, but I thought Damu chopped/sequenced his drumz on the SP1200? They definitely sound that way!

  • this dude is too ill

  • @DoctorSess amen

  • His new york accent is dope

  • you can never out grow a machine. knowone can. i maded my first beat with an ansering machine.

  • Coolio Brolio

  • I want this drums¡¡¡

  • (points to the MPC) there goes the REAL drum set right THERE!!!

  • 7:00

  • At 2 minutes I thought he was playing the matrix soundtrack "Clubbed to Death"

    But that'd be too easy for him

  • Damus drums are fucking PERFECT!!

  • The first song is called Killin' Time Rhyme

  • Damu drops knowledge.

  • hehe. damu rox

  • I cant find the damu track for 7:30 but Ice Cube's a bird in the hand is the same sample and G-unit's The Mechanic is very close

  • thank you damu

  • @bigspin12 old machinery is where its at!

  • seriously J whats the deal wit that last beat? unexpected indie series?

  • 7:24 - already outgrown it? damn...

  • damn that last beat is epic. get an emcee on that released on wax with an instrumental of course !

  • These mainstream cats dont know what soul is because they sold it.

  • funny thing is, you can sample his snare from this vid :)

  • @ImDino shit quality though

  • @ImDino true true, but you can't really capture the real depth of the drums they end up sounding really thin

  • The drums he's playin' at 3:14 and the samples he throws on top at 3.30 is is equal to what you will find in a dictionary if you look up "Perfection"

  • @bigspin12 ??? It's an MPC fool.

  • @ 5:00 What is Damu doing? Is he track-muting and has different drum patterns on each track or playing the chops?

  • 0:29 - yes please.

  • I LOVE the outro-beat. Wanna hear it again in mp3 or vinyl

  • That outro beat is outta control!

  • what's the song at 00:34? it's so fuckin dope!!!

  • i gotta financial accounting test in 6 hours (its 3 am)

    ....but i cant stop watching these Damu videos

  • @undermisensiOPC ha i used to do that all the time

  • @undermisensiOPC (Assets = liability + owners equity) thats all you gotta know!!!

  • can someone please tell me the name of the beat he plays at 3.30, its one of those beats that 10 seconds of hearing it is enough to pursue it

  • whats the outrobeat? sick as fuck

  • If the drums ain't tight the beat ain't right!!

  • Last track blows my head, when it comes out?

  • look up g-units The Mechanic or Ice Cubes A bird in the Hand.

  • @anonymous7989 doesnt seem like its coming out. I always come back to this video to listen to that shit. Im gonna record that shit and just listen to that.

  • @anonymous7989

    Same over here, i ceep on coming back to this video just to listen to that beat.. Mindbogglin

  • Comment removed

  • This guy could probly make a full out beat with just 3 seconds of sample time,lol Big ups.

  • does damu actually play all of his drums on each track or does he sometimes just loop a nice drum break? is it frowned upon if you loop up a drum break rather than makin your own pattern?

  • 8.09 = the police - does everyone stare

  • @TotallyWired18 Thumbs up for this guy right here

  • @Damu or JNOTA..can we please get some info on the outro beat? it's an upcoming release?

  • DAmu Preach. . . . keep showing us the way of real underground beat making. . . you carrying the torch handed from legends. . . the more you teach the better chance this style of beat making will live on forever. . . .

    these type of beats might never go commerical again like it did the 80s and 90s. . . but the BOOM BAP era will never die in my heart

  • What made you choose the MPC 2000 and what is it that meakes you stay with it? Will you ever move up, even just to the 2000xl?

  • 8:00 I remeber Ice Cube using the same BB King sample on Bird In the Hand off Death Certificate

  • Damu, PLEEEASE release that last track on next record cause Ive been going back to this video maybe 60-70 times just to hear that mindbogglingy fat beat! Probably every day since I first heard it. I miss your old videos when you were unknown, loved the headnodding camera tapping on the mpc. You should do more videos like this, Id like to know more about how to do music like you do(of course with my own style but you have so much knowledge and experience). Im just a HUUUGE fan!

  • What's the track at 0:30 I love Damu's music. But i can't figure out the name of that track.

  • Happy and proud to see one that doesnt use techno bullshit software!

  • Comment removed

  • That outro beat is a serious jam. You have a name for that tune and where can I get it?

  • how can i get that fat bass sound like at outro beat??? plz help i use fl

  • daamn kickass!!!!

  • i must obtain the beat flowing at 1:50

  • Someone send this man a new Rec Gain Knob!

  • One question, if you don't do this for prophet then how do you get by on a daily basis?

  • @xmpc9000XL pretty sure he dj's on the reg and i think i remember him stating that he has a 9 to 5... or he could be robbing banks :)

  • RESPECT to this BIG PRODUCER !

  • beat at the end is fire oh lawd

  • the beat at the end. what is it? i must no!

  • single handedly saving hip hop

Please write some articles or more videos on how do make dope beats, I mean you dont have to release all your secrets but man. I just listen to your albums all day long! Gonna find me some own drums to sample now

  • this is the best damu video, and i luv every video from him!

  • Love these vids. Keep em coming Damu.

  • does anyone know the drums to the last beat? they're sick it kinda sounds like the basement drums... also he made that guitar sound like a sax! Is that crazy or what?

  • does anyone know the drums to the last beat? they're sick it kinda sounds like the basement drums...

  • Gotta say brotha, your one of my favorite underground producers. one of the reasons i decided to transition from software to hardware. i still use software too but i'm trying to hone my skills on my 1000. i think you should move on to the 2500 or the 4000 if you think you've "outgrown" your 2000

  • yeah please let us know if the last track is featured in any of your released albums or if it's going to be released in the future.....! please!

  • what track is at the end?!!

  • @aidsgunz he had looped bb king´s "chains and things" that´s all i know about it

  • People outside the genre really don't understand the art behind sampling, its much much more than what you hear. Its an art.

  • the track that starts at 7:49 is bannas would like to know damu if this is in a official track? any info would be great peace.

  • Great video once again.

    Umm, what's going to be Damu's next machine (or software) that replace the MPC-2000? (Sounds like he's looking for his next main gear. Will LinnDrum II ever come out by the way?) I didn't know that he used to use SP-303. He is a pretty good drummer, by the way!

  • 3:30

  • A real craftsman.

  • OMG 8:09 IS KILLING ME

  • I wanna hear a 303 beat series!!

  • I love your music man! :) Im a HUGEEE fan! You're the reason I got an MPC(Im poor so I got the 500-model)! When I get a job Im gonna get a better MPC. Really helpful serie on drums. Im gonna dig through my vinyl-collection for drums and samples now :D get my own signature sound. Didnt know about the mixing drum-samples, gonna try that today. Thx for making great music!

  • good shit man. giving a good insight into the artist behind the music. getting it done the right way. peace

  • Oh. That last track in video is crazy

  • Damu, you's a funny dude and biggest inspiration on me and all my natives americans dig your jazzy feel beats. And showing how Hip Hop is bringing back the roots!.

  • Hey Damu, what was the first drumbreak called, u used for your park beat ? Would love to use it in my dreampop remix of the Aristocats.

  • 3:40 which beat is it?

  • thank you for this awesome video damu!

  • Dope vid AS USUAL.

    Straight up took kids to school on this one.

  • fuck mainstream sound, power is in underground.

  • very interesting, dope vid

  • Hey Damu,

    My producer name is Pete Saibot and i would like to say that you are one of my biggest inspirations in becoming a producer. Though i had to adopt a digital way of production, ableton and mpd24, i have been working hard to improve my technique. I would like to say that you are the definition of Hip Hop. I am from the bay and i am hoping to see down here in the future. much love.

  • @psychosis147 get an real mpc.

  • @BeatBay Its about the musician not the medium, my friend uses the mpd24 and fl studio and makes some pretty awesome beats.

  • @BeatBay I would man, but i got that laptop as a gift and my homie hooked it up with

    the mpd24, im a broke ass college student so that is asking a lot from me, but i already began to save up for an mpc 2000xl.

  • Beats is raw & funky as hell! The outro beat is insane!! Is the HH from Harlem undergound, Impeach....? Deff want to get the new album on wax. Thanks for putting the vid together JNOTA. Damu keep putting out classic music, breath of fresh air into the hip-hop.

  • Great vid.
