i love this MIDI style drum kit
really like the programming and especially volume/velocity dynamics of the beat
enjoy when it starts rolling at 2:00
great piano warble

Very cool stuff. Managed to make 9/8 pass the head nod test. Did you program all those drums by hand? I'm always in hearing about the process of writing complexity

Tastes just like a regular 4/4, very relaxing.

Sick track and great influences : )

Thank you! As someone who plays drums, even with midi drums I really like to put in some velocity variation. Is a simple "trick" to make beats sound way better.
Piano warble is ableton roar (I have preset saved if you want) with lfo+erosion and some filter.

Thanks! Super happy I passed the head nod test
When I'm punching in drums, it's 50/50 - sometimes I go "with the principles" (like, to make funky stuff, one of the ways is to alternate kick/snare/hat), other ways I use my "knowledge", so stickings/patterns I know/play. Sometimes I will mess around and find a nice pattern and try it later.
But yeah, it's by hand, I usually start with kick or kick/snare and build the "foundation" (strong accents), when add some "decoration" while still keeping the main strong accents (I might move them around if something sounds off).
I might be wrong, but I feel if you have strong kick/snare, you have strong groove, so I start and focus on that.

Thank you! That's my "hidden" goal, to "mask"/"hide" compound meters, supper happy that it seems like I managed to do it

Thank you and hell yeah

This is my favorite entry of yours so far. Well built, the drums get pretty interesting throughout the track, the 9/4 execution is very fusion like, which is my kind of thing. Drums sound very good, and the bass + e-piano are perfectly balanced.

Would drive through the city at night to this.

Thank you so much, that praise means a lot
