dusty drums

By J Sangha on January 11, 2026 10:13 pm

I tried to really process these drums. Dirty them up, sequence them off the grid. Was hard tempo syncing them to the music, but I think I achieved something RZA'esque. I hope you guys enjoy this short track. I actually ran out of time on the first track I was working on this week. I hope to have it done next week. This one came together in about 1 hour.

This is the best though, like rough, dont force it, just let it be as it is. Another head banger. fav

Real neck snapper! Dope beat.

Excellent. Well done

Really liking the raw, grimy feel on this one. Those subtle details add a lot of character to the track

Nicely done. Really dig the drums

Got me nodding along to the beat. Dope.

Oh yes, love the dusty grimey drums, definitely has the neck snapping feel.

The drums are crisp and crackly, and I love the distant vocal and slightly distressed chords

vocal samples and harmonies are great! interesting trippy beat, samples sound like could be anything from drums to a weird box snapping shut, has that found sound energy

Thank you! All of the drums were found sounds except for the kick and hi hat.

feeling those trip hop vibes ala massive attack.  I could easily hear Tricky over this. Such a nice groove with the drums.  Well done!

Thank you. Wish I could have mixed this song, but lost track of time.
