[VIDEO] Making broken beats / jungle / DNB beats (with Addictive Drums 2)
Time to get busy with making broken beats!
What does it mean that beats are “broken"?
How to make DNB / jungle?
Let me show and explain.
I’m using Addictive Drums 2.
I’ll also do a Part 2 later, getting deeper with processing.
Will also put out some breaks as audio thru Patreon later.

Which AD2 kit is that BTW? Oh Modern Soul R&B.. I only got the Jazz, United Pop & Blue Oyster. Would you recommend the R&B Kit for making breaks, does it cover some ground those other ones dont?
Hi Tuomas, and welcome! That is the Modern Soul & RNB kit. Will want to try and do a video soonish where I take that sound a little further, mess with processing etc!
Great stuff man. Your approach to ghost snares is super helpful, and the point about restraint on the jungle-y tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk is well taken. I often just put that shit on blast but probably could benefit from easing up a bit. lol. Looking forward to the next part on processing to see how you make that "fanu crunch"!
Love ADD2, look forward to seeing more of this content for sure man!
Gotta dive into it soonish and check out the processing a bit more etc :)
Love the idea of having some Fanu midi files to play with in AD2. I've been using it for a while, but more to add a layer to chopped breaks as I've struggled with getting anything organic sounding to come from AD2.
That's actually a decent idea :) I could do some midi files and also fitting presets…that woudnt cause any copyright issues either. I'll put this on my Patreon to-do list!
Tyvm. I find that it’s the ghostsnares and ghostkicks i dont really know how to do, so this tutorial where u went through the trouble of breaking a steady beat up like this was amazing for me. I have the XLNAudio XO which i use for discovering drums from my own Library which i have never even heard before, thanks to the way the plugin creates a point cloud of abt 100k samples i have that are drums rbut might look into buying AD2 just for the rnb funk multisamples which i have none of. Thanks for making this vid. I have wanted to pay someone to teach me the ”interim” beats==shadow drums. This was a massive step in the right direction
Very happy to hear that it helped! Glad to discuss drums. That XO thing looks interesting! I use an app called Sononym for samples that tries to identity similar samples in your library based on a given reference sample.
