This 1st session kicks off with finding the right loop to use but not as-is. The idea is to extract what we want in our drum kit instead relying on a pre-made pattern that you’re pretty much stuck with. From there, we messed with a few samples — some that weren’t half bad — before finding the sample we stuck with. The session comes to close with a solid loop ready to be further fleshed out!
WSTR stands for Who Said This Rhyme — originally a Hip Hop trivia game. Each session is parcel to a larger self-titled project, showcasing the beat-making process and how things come together in Shun’s Lab.
