4/21_Dirty South drums

Producers in the South have a distinct style that they use to make their beats. You may have noticed that they use really fast rolls for their hi hats and snares. Today we're going to work on getting those elements into a beat.

1. Create a new Reason session.
2. Create a Redrum and load a bass (Bd_Boomer), a clap (Clp2_Xtc6), a snare drum (Sd2_Riot) and a hi hat (Hh_Xfile2).
3. Change the tempo to 100 BPMs.
4. On the Redrum, change the number of steps to 32.
5. Change the Resolution to 1/32.
6. Put Hi Hats on all the odd numbered steps (don't forget to also put them in Step 17-32!).
7. Put the Clap on step 9.
8. Put the Bass on step 1 and any other steps that you think sound good.
9. Go back to the Hi Hats and try putting them on some even numbered steps to get those fast little rolls in there (not too many! Less is more!).
10. Now click on Pattern 1 and copy it (Edit>Copy Pattern).
11. Paste it in to Pattern 2 (Edit>Paste Pattern).
12. Now, in Pattern 2, select your Snare drum.
13. Put Snares on steps 1, 7, 13.
14. Change to Steps 17-32 and put the snares on steps 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.
15. Go to Pattern 1 and do Copy Pattern to Track from Bars 1-4.
16. Now go to Pattern 2 and Copy the Pattern to Track from Bars 4-5.
17. Add at least two more instruments to go over this (Hint: Try looking in the Combinator instrument under Synth Lead).
18. Save this as your name_DirtySouth. and turn it in to the Dropoff folder.
