first drumbeat

In my first drum beat I gave it sort of a punk rock Travis barker kind of feel to it (that is just my opinion, you can think what you want.) Instead of using a straight up snare I turned the stick sideways and used the side stick effect. I gave the bass drum a mix between a punk rock and pop kick to it, so it doesn't sound like a party boy dance but not loose and tinny like punk rock can be. For the cymbals i used a semi open high hat so it didn't sound more like a classic rock beat. The breaks are just different rhythms on the snare and kick peddle. What i like about this beat is that it is actually possible to play on a set and doesn't have any claps and snaps.
