I've been making dnb for a wile and don't really have to many issues making drums, but the one thing I can't seem to do is get drums like spor, nasty genius, aphex, and other neuro style producers. I have no issue getting nice kicks and snares going, but I can't ever seem to get the nice percussion sounds and patterns they do.
I always make a nice kick and snare pattern with a few samplers and midi notes, then write in a few ghost snares and high hats. Then I'll drop in either some funk breaks or new school dnb breaks from various sample packs. And also sometimes some hi hat or other percussion loops from sample packs. I always sidechain the hats and other percussions to the kick and snare. I always eq the hell out of any breaks I use to get the sound I want.
The thing is, I always end up with nice sounding drums that sound like 70 percent of the dnb I hear... but that's not what I want, I want that dope spor/neuro sounding drums. I think the issue is the percussion more than the kick and snare.
I was just looking for any tips or ideas on how to get something more like what I'm looking for.
