Switched one of my recent beat’s hi-hats from trappy triplets to something super bouncy and spacious. It made the whole beat hit so much different. Definitely don’t be afraid to think outside the box.

As far as we know Navie D has no legs, he could be a floating upper body with extensive knowledge in music production. I demand a lower body reveal at 100k subscribers.

Yeah I found myself doing this waaaay too often to begin with, much love, thanks again Navie 💪

At first I thought you were talking about avoiding trap drum patterns and then I realized you were talking about the crucial process of drum selection. Love your vids.

Let's be honest, some of you would be the Pervey Pete in that story.

I haven't subscribed to a new channel in ages but you got me man

You know what the myths says ; when the mix of your beat is so bad that you have to say its lofi bro not trap 🤣😂

i like the minimal sound of that beat at 4:10 tho... 🧐

it's not about beats anymore. It's about the side of the fence you're living

Yo I don't really comment here much but you doing a great work for the producer community bro, your videos are simple, fun and full of knowledge all at the same time

I don't even use FL studio but all these techniques that you talk about in the videos still benefit me greatly

Talking about drums I would like to see a video on snare rolls,perc rolls, filler percussions etc.

Sometimes it's a better choice to choose Bass instead of 808 to provide room for my beat.

I’m new to u brotha and just in the first 2 mins of ur OG WESTCOAST beat tutorial I was sold I’m a new (2yrs) to makin beats but everything u said fit my profile. I’m a west coast beat /music fanatic!!! But also like the lil baby type beats as well and some nas /jz type beats. I subscribed and am looking forward to watching ur tutorials as u put them out. That west coast tip will really help me tremendously Thanks bro👊🏽

Navie lowkey funny as fuck. He be like "if you don't like my videos, it's pretty easy to unsub" humble king

great video and funny analogy Navie, working on trying to mold my more old school style into a modern feel so this hits home for me. Kudos

Got a late start on being able to watch this, but gems as always my man! I reach towards trap drums way too often out of habit. Learning when to try to implement other sounds and to get them to fit with the aesthetic you're going for while attempting to be unique and stand out is a God send!

This wasn't about trap drums ruining a beat, but about sound selection 🤷‍♂️

Very nice Video it was very informative💪

Once again navie drops gems on us

Commenting first and heading to video, as i am sure it'll be worth of my time. Master Navie :)

As someone who's spent 15+ years teaching adults... that fence metaphor is fan-friggin-tastic. 👌🏽 *Liked + subscribed*

I personally like to add hardcore trippy trap drums to some vibey oldschool sounding rhodes because it combines the two aesthetics and creates a whole new feeling, there is no "one aesthetic" you have to fit with your beat..

You r so right..I did that so many times and spoil a perfect loop untilI finallyfiguredoutwhatIamdoingis wrong....and I think it would be excellent idea if you make a beat making course, to teach us more indept

love that glicthy type shit you did at the end

🤣 The home privacy analogy drove the point home.

To be honest I liked the trap drum examples you did better... even though the more traditional hip hop drums sounded dope as well

No lie, I've been doing that and end up not finishing the beat 😪 Thank you 🙏🏿🙏🏿

Notification Gang!

Another great video sir!👍

6:36 yo when you dragged in pervy Pete, I DIED 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 lesson learned

so right with the first point, I hate looking for lofi beats to vibe to and getting some trap in between my lofi that kills the vibe uwu

Man!!!!! Love this video this is so important thank you 💯💯💯💯

Naive Dropping knowledge on every video yow 🔥🔥 I've been using trap drums too much I didn't even realise there were any other type of drums before this Naive you saved me😳😳

Love how u explain things. Subbed

pet worm, i lost it there. hahaha

Great tutorial gave me a better perspective

i dont understand how "some people" say he dont want to teach and just want to sell his course so he can private our learning curve :/ who knows, knows what im talking about

part of the whole problem is thinking as those aesthetics as something "set". theres no clear lines between genres. its all in your head. in the end samples are just samples. mess around and see what you come up with.

Great advice as always 🙌

The trap version lowkey sounded fire lol

*lightbulb moment* never seen this explained this way. It makes perfect sense now

Cool tutorial great info greetings 🤜🤛

Navie "good metaphores" D.

Intro beat is slapping.🔥

Good advice👍👍

u a real one

It's oversaturated. But trap took over and is an easy avenue for alot of beatmakers to make a bouncy beat artists are more than likely gonna run with. I think its a comfortability thing or lack of experience thing as you said. But you are 100% right tho

Thanks for the knowlegde bro!✌

Came to know more about trap drums Left knowing that my neighbour wants to see my worm😂

I would love to see a breakdown of some of your beats. Those two you used as examples are insane.

Just subscribed and thanks for the pointers

I live for your analogies.

Boombap all the way .. iv made a few trap beats in my time but as I'm not a fan of the genre I don't enjoy making it as much as 90s boombap and dusty sloppy lofi but I'm gonna start making more trap beats cause that's all people want nowadays..

words can't explain how much I learn from u thanks!

As a trap producer from 2013 i can respect this, but only from a outsiders perspective. Trap drums should go with trap melodies, not those guitar shit and flute shit. cuz once u start doing trap drums with those kind of things, shit will eventually start going downhill one day or the other. Yes music is about exploration but some things just dont go with each other and definitely not with lofi melodies. Trap is always dark and hyped just know that, some times it will work smoothly like metro did with mask off but most of the times it doesnt. Trap drums only ruin beats that are not made with a trap beat approach. Trap music doent have a official house of guidance and theory, it was always youtube producers figuring things on their own and try to pass it of as a theory which will always work, no it doesnt man. Trap was always a underground underground production, but now all of a sudden everyone wants a piece of this music even tho they have no idea about the original trap sound, and ends up with melodies and drums that doesnt go with eachother saying trap drums ruins beats. This isnt a opinion by the way, its a fact thats not written in the books, you just gotta look and experience it yourself to know its a fact. Anyone else also from that underground trap era will know what i truly mean.

Thanks for the video

great vid boss

As always great tutorial thank you for sharing your knowledge with us

I hate how whenever I cut the release on my hi hats my zipper goes down n my #%€! jumps out…and then take down the sustain n it shrinks! Producing music is really changing a lot these days

NAVIE D IS BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

good vid, drum theory! Were all drummers act like it

how do you feel so safe at 45 bpm? that's amazing :O

Not to take away from your lessons as I know you have more experienced than I do but I’d would just like to say personally I liked the trap drums better on your second example but I do get the point of this lesson

I would love to see an analysis of KNXWLEDGE's music. I know his style is hard to pin down but that is what fascinates me so much!

Would really appreciate a tutorial of genre specific tempo setting include mordern rnb and hiphop mostly

Yo! Thanks for video. You're very helpful. Can you make video about difference beetwen hip hop sub genres ?

Now a days Producers are like: Makes cool Melodies Drum: Trap

Bro where can i find some really good clean bass?🙏🏻🇮🇹

Another day when Navie flexes his graphic software ( or whatever it is called)

I was thinking this today

Just a suggestion navi When u show us a beat where u use different drums like the beat which was spacious, also refer us to a few free and paid sample packs. This would help us to get those sounds easier plus u can also get affilate link. Its a win win. If u like this idea i will accept my share in the profit 😂jk

arent trap beats made at 140 BPM? I know about Halftime and Doubletime, but the internet always said make it at 140 bpm and let it sound like 70 bpm...

Navie, I want to show you a lofi trap beat I've made! I made it with an upright bass and some techniques like the Alchemist tonal noise. I guess it was a good blend, more lofi-ish than the one in your trap-fi video :P

Cheers dude

Thanks ill choose better wood for the fence next time

the beat you played with trap drums sounds perfectly fine let people make what they wanna make.

Hey Navie D! Do you do any one-on-one sessions?

That old guy looks like a Pillsbury biscuit can

I can't be the only one who thought 1:38 was fire as fuck

Deep Respect

This is goated I have this issue where I will make two separate versions of a pattern (like for example I'll make two slightly different hi hat patterns) and I wont be able to tell which i like more or which makes more sense and is better. Is there any way to help that?

May I ask, why are you using mainly midis instead of dropping wave files into Playlist?

My favorite 😍 I could listen to u read anything and would love it!!!

I'm planning on buying a PC for music making, and wonder if the Lenovo would he good for music production.

I ain't gonna lie that sounds dope though

Bro can u make a video bout placement? Specially on genre of boom bap. Im havin a problem cause when Im in process of makin I do it in single pattern at first, then after I think its done I split it then do placement the sound is really different. Of course I cant make it the same thru start and end so I try to balance the frequency but the sound is really different for me its not the same as what Im hearin it at first

Okay now how do I got about not turning my trap beats into weird beats (seems to be my specialty...)

Keke do you love me type beat

Once you swapped out the drums from trap to old school i immediatly heard Kendrick on that. Sound a lot like something you'd hear on damn

Big difference

Navie has the greatest analogies😅

To each their own

5:59 LOL

1:41 tbh that was the hardest beat in this video. I would've gone with that lol

Im going to use trap drums for an edm song 😂

🔥🔥🔥🔥

the fence story was too detailed to be off the top of the dome. its okay navie, we all been there no shame
