Stock Aitken Waterman | How to recycle the same drum pattern again and again

When I started to look into the Roland TR-727 percussion patterns used by Stock, Aitken & Waterman in the late 80s, I found striking similarities between different songs.
Rick Astley, Jason Donovan, Donna Summer, Bananarama, and many others had very similar (sometimes just the same) percussion patterns coming from the 727.
Not surprisingly as they churned out hits and records at a record pace, so some corners had to be cut. And why change a winning formula anyways?
To avoid copyright strikes I've focused on just one of the songs in this video and this is a typical 727 percussion part from that era.
As with the A-ha video I recently published, this is not meant to be a carbon copy remake in terms of sound, it's just a quick demo to show some interesting arrangement decisions. Some tend to take these videos too seriously. ;-)
The Yamaha DX7 patch bank with the bass patches has been confirmed being the real one. It's been confirmed by the very creator.

Really fun breakdown of this song. Not too surprised they reused this percussion arrangement in so many songs, it really just works in so many songs. I remember reading somewhere that Ian Curnow created those bass patches, but I could be wrong. But damn, they created some of the most iconic DX bass patches ever.

There was an interesting drum loop that SAW became quite fixated on in '89 '90, which had it's roots in a PWL track recorded for Mandy Smith called "Victim of Pleasure" (produced by Daize Washbourn & Phil Harding). They commissioned Justin Strauss to create some remixes for it's USA release, and when the mixes finally came back, Justin's drum loop suddenly began appearing in tracks for Kylie (Hand On Your Heart, Never Too Late), Sonia (Listen To Your Heart, You'll Never Stop Me...) plus many more. I've always been curious how Justin Strauss created the loop, and did he mind SAW procuring it in their creation of further songs.

Stock, Aitken and Waterman, the hit factory. They had an assembly line approach but it worked as they created the hottest hits of the late 80's. A lot of their tracks are genuine ear worms that are quite catchy. The same beat would work in their Kylie Minogue songs. Rick Astley and Mel & Kim are the most iconic for me personlly. So much early childhood nostalgia with those.

After listening to the interview you did with Harding and Curnow it seems alot of the work they did had the club and dancing in mind, and i can hear this innocent little percussion groove is the magic layer that makes that happen. It creates an itch in your spine that makes you wanna move, it's kind of tribal. If you take it away, it doesn't work the same. It's sometimes low in the mix, but it's still having the same effect. I can understand why they simply re-used it.

Not exactly true. They had a very good production team of mixers, programmers, background singers etc, and they worked long hours. They often tore down the arranegements and started over, mixed it a gazillion times etc, to get everything absolute right. There was a lot of sweat over each song, even if they can sound pretty similar. That does not come by itself. Just read Phil Hardings book "From the factory floor" and you'll see for yourself. ;-)

Prior to 1988 UK pop seemed to be a spread of astonishingly rich production from the likes of Trevor Horn, Chris Hughes, Alan Tarney, Steve Levine etc. Post 1988, it was dominated by Stock Aitken & Waterman's Imperial Bubblegum Era and at the time I hated it. Now, though, I can see it's charm.

727 i love that machine in combinatie with the 707 ,my fav. Drumcomputer. Use it very often from roland cloud. Sound of the late 80s is ofcouse stock aitken and waterman. Nice video! But most recognizable 727 track ever...papa chico?

I wonder, is that my DX7s? Does it have a cig burn on the edge of the moulding for the two wheels? Patch number 6 switch was a bit wonky, but that might have been fixed. I agree, it's not about obsessing over kit, it's getting the right sounds/parts fitting together. I did a Tell It To My Heart by Taylor Dayne, it has the most insane drum pattern, one that should not fit anything. As I un-mute the other tracks the song just jumps out of the speakers! Recreating hits is a great way to learn about how songs are made.

So, after all these years I finally did get rickrolled... by a drum machine of all things. 😆

And didn’t we know it. The nauseating cacophony that soundtracked the late 80s courtesy of S/A/W drove me crazy. Interesting analysis though.

I had to look these guys up because I didn't recognize them. Wiki has a list of all their work. It's def long, but I only know 2-3 songs.

If this was the drum roll at the beginning I would detect it in a milisecond. :-D

I remember my PWL childhood records, all had ‘Drums by A Linn’. For many, many years I thought it was a person!
