This is the “beat repeat” section of DJ Shadow's classic, "Building Steam with a Grain of Salt" from 2:44 - 4:29. What's so interesting about this album is that it was entirely created by piecing samples together straight from vinyl records. I couldn't imagine doing that now given the tools we have today! If you haven't checked it out, it is an absolute landmark for instrumental DJs, hip hop, and really just music in general. It definitely had a large impact in a lot of genres we listen to today like downtempo, chillwave, trip-hop, etc. The album is entitled "Endtroducing" by DJ Shadow.
I wanted to transcribe this song because it wasn't played by an actual live drummer. Therefore, it calls for an unnatural but interesting playing style. It's a unique source of inspiration for a live drummer and I'm hoping it will draw me into this style and rear its head in my playing somehow.
The use of "beat repeat" is what I think had a big part in the creation of the drum n bass genre. Drum n bass beat patterns are found all over in this clip. If you were to take a few beats from one of these measures and repeat it over and over, it would sound a lot like a drum n bass track.
I have a deep interest in live drum n bass drumming or live jungle drumming. Some drum n bass artists I like are Photek and Amon Tobin. Jojo Mayer and Johnny Rabb are a couple of masters at the live drum n bass style. They definitely brought a new level of technicality to drumming.
Thanks for listening.
