DJ Rock Well Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Not really a surprise for anybody following the 'GOAT Drum Breaks' thread and I almost snaffled this one away for myself, but it's too good not to use for this. Besides, more and more I think it's more about how you use a sample than just the sample itself. When you're digging for samples, nothing makes the spidey-sense tingle like a drummer's own album. Often pretty iffy on many levels, usually with a few other musician friends roped in out of duty (Ian Paice on congas in this case!), but always bound to feature drums to the fore on some level. This is Pete York's (the drummer from The Spencer Davis Group) first solo outing, the 1972 Decca LP with studio band called The Pete York Percussion Band. It didn't even have an album title, nobody bought it and as such it's bloody scarce now. He's not the tightest of drummers, but he's pretty inventive IMO. Plus this is full vanity project mode - pretty much every track has some open drums or percussion, breaks and solos. Some tracks even have unnecessary drum solos in the middle of songs. Providing you don't mind getting busy chopping stuff up from solos, etc, there's loads on here to get busy with... I could revisit this one many times. Apart from percussion, there's actually some other good sounds on here too. Here's the wavs... https://www.dropbox.com/s/h4o0vpcc6d1dzsu/peteyorklp%20Samples.zip?dl=0 As usual, the only rule is that you have to sample at least one sound from the audio files provided above. You can add any other sounds, samples, instruments, cuts, vocals, etc. The final result can be any style, medium or genre you like. Post up your entries in the comments of this thread. Deadline for entries will be the end of Tuesday, June the 28th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Rock Well Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 I'm definitely in this time round - last night I started selecting bits to possibly use and then stumbled upon the start of something as well. It's a bit weird and could end up going a couple of different ways, but you know, a start of anything is better than a start of nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattnice Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I might have a go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Rock Well Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 It really isn't about the placing mate, judging by the numbers in the vote, you're dealing with a select audience of about 12-15 people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fayc Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Im going to miss out on this one I'm afraid. Am trying to get to grips with Ableton so might be going into hiding for a few weeks / months. Shame as is a sick record. Cheers for the upload. Will be using the breaks in this for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame as is a sick record. Cheers for the upload. Will be using the breaks in this for sure. Surely this is a good opportunity to practice? Set this up in your Ableton, it makes slicing way better (more like MPC and maschine): Here's how you layer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Fayc - what Doob said! Nah, up to you really mate - I'm the worst for not learning the new stuff I should because I'm always busy with the old stuff. What did you make your previous beats on then? I always assumed to were on Ableton, because erm... because you're Doob's mate and he uses it. I realise that makes no sense whatsoever! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Although I'm still a long way off finishing this, I've got far enough to say that this month I'm submitting the first ever Rye crew tag team entry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Psychedelic Schizophrenic Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Hard one to chop up as there is so much dopeness on here but I've stumbled upon a loop that is very catchy and very chessy lmao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Yeah, I know what you mean mate. After sifting through this record and coming up with enough bits to make several beats, I was thinking of doing a track that was like a mini breaks mix full of left turns and different drums, etc. Then I got sidetracked in another different direction, but one day in the future I might still try and make like a 10 min track full of lots of little sections from this record, the drums at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexinoodle Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I just took the first beat that came along, sliced diced and been dropping it on loads of different stuffThe very literal definition of procrastination, a DJ with a breakbeat !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just used machine and used ableton at very end for a little bit of mastering to try boot some shit. most the time was all in machine. ableton is taking over my whole brain but loving it.

DJ Rock Well Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Ah, interesting. I'm all maschine too, but could really do with expanding my horizons a bit and should probably also get into Ableton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexinoodle Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Kind of blown it on this, I have a backing track done, uses nothing but samples from this, but got no way i can set up to record the vocals and cuts before 28th hahahaha, fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Rock Well Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Good on you mate. I can't listen to your's or any others til I've wrapped my one! Flexinoodle - I don't know how it fits into your plans for what you wanted to do, but a beat on its own is still fine. There are no rules what the final production should be and most entries are just straight beats. Don't know if this helps, but it's bought is put it out there!

Guest Psychedelic Schizophrenic Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Looking forward to the Rye crew bringing the noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeClockwork Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Haha. Fayc always says he's going to bow out and then tears it down at the last minute. Looking forward to this one. Sadly real life has cockblocked me from entering but I expect you lot to come with some heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 So true, there's no beat I fear quite like the one Fayc's "not gonna enter". Your entry will be missed Joe, there's always next time though! Tonight's the night for anyone who has got something sorted! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
