The real benefit of starting with drums is you get to determine your bpm, Metro even said this in the video. Like what I do (and what Metro does also) is I drop 16 hihats and then start scrolling through the bpms until I find one that I like. I'll even close my eyes during this. The bpm is the backbone of the beat, and people underestimate this. You can be feeling one bpm one day, and a different one another day. It influences how your beats turn out an incredible amount.
the reason why starting with the drums is better is because it not only let's you determine the bpm early but gives you an idea of the rhythm. Even if you don't start with the drums, you must always have a beat pattern or rhythm in mind
I used to always start with the drums as a beginner .then I switched to the melody Then I realized my beats are 10 times hotter when I start with the drums! To each his own I guess... Just find your own sweet spot listen to your self and make music that YOU feel . Shout out from France one love ❤
ive been doing it with drums first for years. i felt it really helped me when creating beats. it keeps me organized and on point almost the same way a metronome would during production,
ive been producing for 12 years and ive never started a beat with drums until yesterday. I really liked the way that beat came out so ima keep trying this method.
Heard this, and instantly applied it to my mixes. Never looked back. I'm good off production, sometimes I start beat first and sometimes melodies. But when I mix, it's essential to start off with the best, otherwise it won't hit.
Agree. I feel like Hip-Hop and some genres of EDM are rhythm-based. So it's a pretty natural to start from drums. Chord progression is developed with respect to drum rhythm. Melody and counter-melody are such parts of composition that has no "obligations" for any other parts (can even step out the scale and play with chromatic moves) - so they needs just slight connection with rhythm part. Still there are times that you just can't start with drums, because you got some melody in your head)
I made a EDM type beat on garage band just for fun it actually came out really good, I tried making a rap beat on GarageBand but it’s a lot harder for some reason
“If your only tool is a hammer, you’ll look at every problem as a nail” … IMO learn to focus on whats more important per song you are doing. Sometimes ill do beat first if thats the focus, or melody first , etc. especially if u do different genres of music
@DavidKingonYT naw bro busy been doing this do ur home work, people grew up to busy from 15 probably damn near in they 30s hard work pay off, Subs come & GO...... crazy talk learnt a lot from OG u can't speak like that
I was in drumline for 4 years and played snare so coming from some experience, your 808 pattern is NOT a triplet. Its called a dotted quarter note. Fire beat but like cmon
My bad bro. I have some background in playing instruments and reading sheet music so I understand what you’re saying. But I have to convey what I’m saying to folks who may not have that background, so I use simpler terms. I just so happened to call it something that has a different meaning
The clicking method ain't it for YOU! You can't tell people how to make beats tho.. I've been cooking for 2 decades haven't gotten all my placements for Clicking. At the end of the day, nobody cares how you make the beat, as long as it sounds good
@@johnwatkins1944It’s also funny to me they’re so against clicking and then recommended a keyboard instead of a drum pad. If they’re going to be a purest at least do it right lol.

dude ur a game changer
facts

Exactly
You can get a bpm just as easily from a record sample... oh that's right none of you actually find samples anymore except from the internet.
@@saturdaynighto74261 what are you on about?

appreciate you showing the melody ideas that didn't work, most yt producers wouldn't dare haha
That 💩🔥🥷🏼!
This my first look at your videos.
👍🏽&🥖 on full auto!

I always start with my drums first because if I start with the melody it sounds like R&B sometimes K-pop 😅
it's the opposite for me. my melodies be sounding like trap 😂
That happened to me
Crazy how I prefer starting with the melody. My boss once told me to start with them drums but it is what it is 😂
CERTIFIED COOK in the making
7:31 bro started to make the Harry Potter theme song lol
😂😂
So true
I heard it too lol u beat me to the comment

Very well put
Bro u make ts look so easy
Bro you cooked that beat so fast 💨
Great tutorial 🔥🔥🔥 Thank you Tej 🎉
Ewwww this is crazzzzyyyy♾️
I do bass and kick first cause they are my foundation that nothing else will be allowed to interfere with... not even the rest of the drums.
Bia bia lil Jon vibes frfr.. drums
Crazy 🔥🔥🔥🫡
Preciate ya bro 💯💯
fire bro you you should do another music theory video I learned a lot from that last one
Thanks for help bro I’m house producer but loved this
I always add drums first. No brainer
Yea yea, hard man
I made a EDM type beat on garage band just for fun it actually came out really good, I tried making a rap beat on GarageBand but it’s a lot harder for some reason
Bruh how you moving so fast!! Fire beat fr
This is how i always did my tracks..
i don't even like Trap beats, but this was dope bro
U make it look easy
It is

GOAT 🐐
Depends… if I’m flipping a sample on hardware drums first off top. My own chords then hi hats first cause I don’t care for metronome then chords
I don’t have the refresh/redo button or any of those ones in the top right anymore? 🧐
Yeah
Hard
Ohhh big cheat code 😂😂
I‘m so glad i‘m using logic pro 😅

Should have as many Subscribers as BusyWorks
Don't do that bra busy a goat
Hell have more then busy real soon
His subs are fake that’s why he gets 230 views in 2 days with 1 million subs. He bought subs
@DavidKingonYT naw bro busy been doing this do ur home work, people grew up to busy from 15 probably damn near in they 30s hard work pay off, Subs come & GO...... crazy talk learnt a lot from OG u can't speak like that
That's a good plan but not all time, this technique is good for trap styles and where we have hard hitting drums
Can you give plugs please
i just made drums in 5 mins at my friend's house because he didn't believe I made the beats😂
Someone tell me how to get the oscilloscope to do that movement instead of the basic two
I think you left click on it
@@BeatsbyTej I've tried that not it
Do you use soft clipper and fruity limiter on the master?
I use soft clipper and Maximus. The full chain is EQ-Soft clipper-compressor-Maximus
@@BeatsbyTej ty for your response!
When u were doing the hihat placing wha grid size u using?
For the basic placement Line setting. For the rolls 1/3 step
Joey jordison said he never starts with the drums.
0:43 How did you do that?
Alt + Scroll
Im doing music for over 4 years and Im starting with drums. By the way, are you hungarian? bc in hungary tej means milk
I’m Punjabi. that’s pretty funny tho 😂
Whenever I start with drums I can never find/make a melody that fits
I used to have that issue too… but you gotta tweak the drums while making the melody
where's kick buddy, i'm just starting. sometimes kick nahui?
Bro are you punjabi?
Yes
@@BeatsbyTej take love from 🇮🇳❤️you r doing great 🔥
Who starts a beat with a melody??? 🧐
jupp defently a misstake
I was in drumline for 4 years and played snare so coming from some experience, your 808 pattern is NOT a triplet. Its called a dotted quarter note. Fire beat but like cmon
Or look up a 4/3 time signature pattern. Call it percussion music theory (yes that exists)
My bad bro. I have some background in playing instruments and reading sheet music so I understand what you’re saying. But I have to convey what I’m saying to folks who may not have that background, so I use simpler terms. I just so happened to call it something that has a different meaning
how can you take this video as a personal attack? just enjoy the beat. my God
that video of metros is trash he aint shi anymore wo other prods
tell that to his plaques and bank account. lets hear your beats
And here I am thinking that's the only way to start making a beat I've been starting beats this way for over 15year your idle is a baby in this
the beat is good the clicking method is not it, get a midi board
The clicking method ain't it for YOU! You can't tell people how to make beats tho.. I've been cooking for 2 decades haven't gotten all my placements for Clicking. At the end of the day, nobody cares how you make the beat, as long as it sounds good

why does it matter? the beat is dope. people complain about something that LITERALLY has NOTHING to do with them
Weirdo comment
great tutor ever u the great tej
