This 3rd Session (likely my favorite so far) begins with searching for another sample to use. (I’m real big on samples if you haven’t caught on yet.)
With my drums already laid, I stumbled onto this one sample that I knew was something the second I heard it. From that point I just played with a few chops to match my groove, and there were only two that I felt were needed. I grabbed another phrase too, and just to try balancing it out some more. Things come to an end after that, but I was feeling the beat so much that I just couldn’t stop hitting the pads.
