One reason Zay’s beats bang so hard is cause he starts with his drums on an mpc. The beat starts with the drum groove, and he leaves plenty of space around that groove as he builds the beat.
one thing i noticed was how he made the loops of each instrument long and not short. shows he knows where everything is going to be placed within the loop. it seemed like a lot of it was just done by ear and not needing to see the arrangement on screen. dudes a legend.
You guys don’t know shit about producing. It doesn’t matter if you program the drums on an MPC or any DAW on the computer. Especially when the drums are always programmed very similar and aimple
I agree with both you guys. I think majority of artists in music are not sober when theyre creating. But i do believe that they've made music when they were sober, and there are artists who make music soberly and live a sober life for the most part. This may be farfetch'd, but some people can really just get a euphoric feeling when playing an instrument or making music without the use of a foreign substance. Kind of like what runners call a "runner's high" or food coma.
I see how he's not going on hunts for the right sound , just whatever sound comes up he tries it make work. Cuz sometimes you go lookin for the right sound and get lost in the jungle then you realize you're only wearing a tube sock and a catchers mit.
When da beat so good that you don't need any damn vocals! I could use this as the background music when running late for work and tryna make sure I got everything before I leave the house!
To just sit down and make a song a beat out of nothing speaks to the level of love this man has for music definitely one of the greats in my opinion 🙌🏻💯
You realize he's using an MPC as well so he's old school with it ya'll gotta realize the producers are the brains and everything so you gotta give em they're props
Yeah, nothing random about the pads he’s hitting. The way the MPC works is by allowing the user to input samples, edit/manipulate the sounds (in this case isolating the kick, hat and snare/being 2019 he probably just uploaded the premade drum kit). Regardless, he assigned each open/closed hat, different bass kicks, and snares into corresponding pads. Considering he multilayered the tracks with each one having a different element of a drum pattern, it would be impossible for him to just be mashing random notes. If you ever find yourself in a Guitar Center, stop at the music production section and try using an Akai, Roland, or Native Instru unit. It’s nothing like those phone apps that let you hit anything on the screen and have it fit with an already existing track playing in the background...
if only people knew how much better of a producer I have become just from watching this man cook up daily literally taking notes from the best putting my own spin to things and i owe it all to me for never quitting and to Zay even though he don't know me Lol man taught me allot and ain't never seen me lol
Nah dawg I prefer that Mike Dean rehearsal vid when he's just in a room full of analog synthesisers. Watched that joint while I was high and oof It worked
This is dope but what allows music producers to create music so quickly and effortlessly is their understanding of chords and progressions. Once he found a sound he liked, he was able to use that same sound in a higher octave. And just like that you have a beat. Music is dynamic and it's good to know how to sample and to use chords. Good job....
That moment in church when the soloist is going in doing crazy run combination and that feeling people get and start yelling shit at them because its just faaar too good lol
Im getting it, i may be late foing so, but it'll be well worth it, fam..I'd like to see Zaytoven use the touch though. It seems like you will go even harder when you cop so new gear.
zaytoven is unreal, this video is why i feel he's the best producer in the trap game at the moment. his piano playing skills are so dope, i take much inspiration from him
+MrMhj26 Fam we ALL know that already why are y'all taking my statement out of context? This my last time addressing this Zaytoven is CURRENTLY working out the south why cant y'all understand that that is what im saying? Rakim said it best and then yall say whatcha wanna say,"IT AINT WHERE YA FROM ITS WHERE YA AT"!!!!
sage Cafxk I love how anonymity gives you faceless worthless heartless peons pseudo courage. The only bitch here is the one that should have swallowed you go tell her how you feel instead of wasting time addressing someone who you don't know and didn't ask your insignificant ass a gotdamn thing.
Zay is great example of a pioneer who has their soul in touch wit music when there able to zone out in to the art form and create shit that is just blasphemy
Probably would be best to start on FL Studio and get a basic style and gain some knowledge on beats, then upgrade through to Ableton, Reason, Protools etc.
The calling and answer back sequencing always been a huge plus with a lot of trap beats and he started off with Gucci n literally making his sound makes it obvious he’s one of the biggest if not the original pioneer(s) when it comes to this
he produced Gucci Mane Trap house 2005, which created the trap sound (along with Young Jeezy Thug Motivation 101, produced by Shawty Redd) This influenced rap music in every region, then electronic dance music, and now even pop music today. His impact on modern music in general is much bigger than just being a great hip hop producer.
bruh..I swear Zaytoven one of the few producers that literally humbles the artists he makes beats for. This beat started off hard and became immaculate. Zaytoven tag hits like the Lil Wayne bic Flic, you know its going to be a banger.
max lexter probably cuz that room hot as hell, when you got all that equipment running at one time and your making beats for hours at a time it gets hot as fuck in the room
This is why we must keep the music programs in the inner city schools. This guy didnt just start playing the piano last year

Word.
There’s times he doesn’t start wit the drums, he jus got a ear for the shit
one thing i noticed was how he made the loops of each instrument long and not short. shows he knows where everything is going to be placed within the loop. it seemed like a lot of it was just done by ear and not needing to see the arrangement on screen. dudes a legend.

zay and metro...hardest beats, fathers of trap...makes sense to me
I look up to zaytoven cause he doesn't drink or smoke and still comes up with the trippiest/hottest beats out there
Forreal? I didn't know that
Slavisa Babic Yup he one of the straight edge artists out there.
and he doesn't use profanity. lol
He is a man of god, he goes to church every sunday and he plays the church organ.

he needs to just drop a self-titled solo just straight beats album
Only if
That would be dope, I wouldn't mind hearing people who wouldn't normally be on his tracks rock them too.
Would work if the bests weren't just non stop loops.
that's what are shopped to artists.
we would never get them.
sounding so fresh still in 2023 goat fr
Late 2024 n I agree!!
Zaytoven's piano skills are what makes him the best imo
Med Kid That's how he got his name
Yuh
Defo
On God you're the best
His drums are also hard
I see how he's not going on hunts for the right sound , just whatever sound comes up he tries it make work. Cuz sometimes you go lookin for the right sound and get lost in the jungle then you realize you're only wearing a tube sock and a catchers mit.
Nick Kautz 😂🔥
Faxxx
😅😅😅😅😅
Don't get personal man
Big factz 💯
1:27 Zaytoven mumbles a language to himself that only trap producers speak fluently 🤣
And another 1
😂😂😂him and future are fluent in that language
He's calling upon the trap gods to bless his fingertips 🙏🏽
Lol nah fr
Lmfaooo🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When da beat so good that you don't need any damn vocals!
I could use this as the background music when running late for work and tryna make sure I got everything before I leave the house!
What 😂😂😂
lmao
😂😂😂 So true
I can just hear Gucci Mane *YEEEEEAAAHHHH* *SCOOOOCHHIE*
hell yeah
Lmao “schoooochie” 😂
"Scoochie" lol
damn near shitted my joggers when i read "scoochie"
BURRRR
WIZZOP!
To just sit down and make a song a beat out of nothing speaks to the level of love this man has for music definitely one of the greats in my opinion 🙌🏻💯
ruclips.net/video/ScUfZOhOzac/видео.html I did this as well
The fact that one of his knobs fell of and he still uses it makes me love Zay even more
One of the GOAT's man. Much respect.
S-X oh shit i didnt know you watch zaytoven vids aswell 😂 bruh
S-X he is not a goat he is probably a goat in trap music
think again. if every sound in this was an instrument found in an orchestra, it would put alot of composers to shame
You realize he's using an MPC as well so he's old school with it ya'll gotta realize the producers are the brains and everything so you gotta give em they're props
Talk throw that GOAT title really loosely all over the place .
Zaytoven: presses random buttons
Also Zaytoven: makes a masterpiece
Not really random
Hansel D'silva lol yeah I know
Yeah, nothing random about the pads he’s hitting. The way the MPC works is by allowing the user to input samples, edit/manipulate the sounds (in this case isolating the kick, hat and snare/being 2019 he probably just uploaded the premade drum kit).

not a thing "random" coming from this dude...
mastermind talent... so would you kindly stfu...
take a fucking joke jesus
When he started playing the keys......my face did this on it's own 😀😁
That MPC metronome is by far my favorite. Both the sound and vibe it has.
1919: I wonder how music will sound like in 100 years
2019: *HUSTLE AND FLOW 2*
Whoop that trick
With all hood producers like a state property version with 808mafia, southside, metro boomin, tm88, lex luger & more
This man is freestyling w/o speaking. Lol dope
cloudscholar22 fr😂💀💀
Lmao
wth you have the same profile pic as me
Is that his wife behind the camera? They were zooming in on his ring finger for damn near half the video lol.
LIBryda that's cause they were showing u how he destroyed the drumb pad an the focus was his fingers
LIBryda no that was his niece she went to my school
LIBryda. 😂😂😂😂😂👍😂😂👍😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Did u not think it was zoomed on his finger cause he was using the mpc to make beats which means they gone show his fingers mostly
Alfonso Hayes 😂😂 I mean really though! 🤣
Isolated at home from Corona Virus listening to this...

yo when he hopped on them keys tho
Brett Ellison filthy
That was the bessssttt
I must have missed that part! Smdh
On gawd..
I like how he uses his hand as a metronome
Tokyo Sounds u pretty much have to otherwise ur first hit on the mpc doesnt feel natural and in sync
Tokyo Sounds what does this even mean
David Deutsch it's so his beats are properly in sync and it creates a tempo
Tokyo Sounds he used his hand and I beatbox for my metronome lmao
WILLIAM KATS i️ get that but wouldn’t that mean your always acting as metronome when making a beat? unless your making nonsense
When he layered the 808 & the snare is genius 🔥
Like, if you think Zaytoven is legendary, and anyone that likes to listens to him.
Jesus this beat is thick how many layers did he add?
The way all those instruments blended together sounds amazing, dudes is crazy talented 👏
zaytoven looks like somebody's uncle
haha
💀
I love that comment
Naw its ushers cousin
He look like usher
zaytoven cannot be matched by many trap producers cause zaytoven is a VETERAN on the piano.
This beat was frikkin amazing!!!! Just the bounce of the 808's and the snare fills alone is 🔥🔥🔥😎👍
The girl in the back is about to fall out of her chair from wobbling around so much😂
I'm happy this popped in my recommended feed. but now i need to find it.. great.

Yeoo what's an a good full set up for like 500 to 1k? I have Fl studio just need an mpc , what else? Can you suggest brands , many thanks.
The drunken keys and then the chords tho.... That's some nasty shit right there!!! I expect this level from Zay tho. His position is solidified.
shawn bone bro those keys are wild as shit! When he hit that first melody my face got all twisted!! 😷👌
How do you not have MAD respect for the Great One!!?? Nobody touching him in trap beats.
