Drum Loop

My first post, the drum loop...
I had a really hard time with this... and you can probably tell with the way it sounds. I'm never really drawn to the percussion of a song, so i was REALLY hesitant to try this. I guess it ended up sounding okay, but i was a bit rushed after missing school. I wanted the loop to sound a bit dancey, like something anyone could move to. So i looked for some nice sounding bass drums, and put an upbeat overlay of clapping and hi hats and things like that.

Hope you like it :P
Here's my Drum Loop:

  1. This is actually pretty nice, especially if you aren't used to thinking of percussion.Its interesting that it has some parts that sound slightly syncopated, but you can still feel a pleasant and steady rhythym with a catchy beat. the ending was pretty nice, too.

  2. Overall, I like it, but I think the pace is set a little too fast and there are either a lot of sounds, or a lot of the same sounds, especially clapping. I like the fills in it.

  3. All good loops Alex. I like the way you connected them too. Intricate play between the kick and the snare, and everything was well balanced. The only thing I didn't like was overuse of the crash cymbal. Try to reserve your cymbal hits for emphasis only when you emphasize everything, you really emphasize nothing.
