do you mean the part from 2:50 to 2:55?

By the drop I was referring to that part at ~0:44. I was asking more generally about how you made the track, though. Process, gear, etc.

at ~0:44, i simply laid down two drum loops with two pads on top. unfortunately, i don't have any gear and i'm currently doing everything on a rather weak laptop (by modern standards), so right now i'm mostly using Synth1 vst and various .sf2 (and some vst for effects and glitches, but i did without them here).
process, hmm, well, i write melodies, then sometimes i might manipulate them in all sorts of ways, like reversing or flipping notes, slowing down or speeding up, etc. if i like the result after such atrocity to my own melody, then i start adding details and editing it to make it sound better. gradually, the number of melodies and ideas for the track increases, so it grows into a long mess, and, judging by the comments, into entire journeys. ideas about what and how to do it come to me on their own at the moment of creation at each stage, but the most important thing is that when i start a track, i don't know how it will sound in it's final form. for example, this track in it's rawest form was supposed to sound more like a hip-hop subgenre, but in the end it turned out like this. so, if i were to describe the process in general terms, and specifically how i compose it, it would turn out something like "i do everything i can and what i like, and then i try to figure out how to stitch it together into something coherent. it's some kind of mad construction set without it's own rules and restrictions"
