Using percussion as a song starter is a Phil Collins classic trick ! He used to start with a CR78 drum machin as percussion to create a groove. To did it, he programed loops as a rythmic pattern. Then, based on his drum machin pattern, he composed, an acoustic drums groove to create an all rythm section, and added the melody and harmonic part at last.

When thinking of Pharrell, I’ve always considered him a minimalist. He seems to only use longer sustains on the bridge, or breaks. One perfect example, is “Drop It Like It’s Hot”. When I hear younger track makers throw every sound they in their DAW into one track, I refer them to that Pharrell/Snoop track

That bridge was Chad's idea

Pharrel often makes the drums and Chad does the melodics

Naw man, I saw Chad tell in an interview that usually Pharell has a more or less finished beat when he enters the studio and his job is to make it sound phat

Lil Jon's style in the 2000's created big hits and influenced the sound we have today, would be nice to have a breakdown of his style

i don't comment a lot, but wanted to give you kudos. the thing i luv about these vids is that you give techniques used by greats while emphasizing that these are concepts that can be used to create your OWN sound. you do a great job of showing how they get a result technically without saying "DO THIS TO SOUND LIKE ____". It's hard for some to separate techniques from someone's art, and you kill it every time. keep up the great work!

Your analyses are all kinds of on point. Here are four producers with respective suggestions for deep dives I'd love to hear your perspective on: DJ Premier - You Know My Steez Pete Rock - The Boss Large Professor - Half Time Easy Mo Bee - Machine Gun Funk Peace

Love the shortness and straight to the point vids 🙌🏻💯 really helpful.

Please credit Chad. When they produced as The Neptunes, he's a key part. Mr Me Too is a Neptunes beat not entirely produced by Pharrel as is Busta's What it is.

Thank you so much man, this is very insightful. I've been into making 2000's-ish hip hop lately. Typically in the style of the Neptunes. I was getting sick of starting of with a framework that limits room for creativity (for example: starting of with chords, a melody, overused trap hihat, overused trap snare, a bouncy snare and a spinz 808). The things I've learned from listening to alot of beats produced by the Neptunes for the last 2 days: 1. Use textured drums. 2. Don't be afraid to use percussions in an unconventional way. 3. Chords don't have to be extended throughout the whole song. 4. Same goes for the melody. 5. Sometimes you don't even need chords, but just weird textured sounds on the background to fill up the frequency spectrum. 6. Same goes for the melody. 7. Don't spend alot of time trying to make your instrument sound natural. 8. STOP USING REEVERB ON EVERYTHING. It's what I do inuitively, but alot of melody instruments the Neptunes' use are dry as hell. 9. IT'S OKAY TO LEAVE SPACES. 10. Have fun with it. Experiment, try new things. Enjoy the fact that you don't have to stick to a protocol that leaves little room for innovation, so that your beats don't end up sounding as if they were mass produced in a Metro Boomin' factory.

Navie you are primed for greatness. Honestly I ain't even an flstudio fan - your content is much more than that. good to see you are promoting it that way more

I really like how you actually explain the musical ideas, not just making "Pharrell type beat". It's actually extremely important to show young beatmakers how you can use the same techniques for completely different results

interesting that Kanye covered a while ago here also uses toms and other percussive elements more melodically sometimes, especially great using the synthier drum machine toms pairing them with Kanye-esque distortion

If you want a crazy challenge try to remake the Milkshake beat exactly

Would be amazing to see a song breakdown of the game - hate it or love it. As the producers chop up that sample to perfection!

i walk away from every one of your videos with a new angle to approach production from, thank you.

now you should talk about Varnish la piscine!!

Get the Korg Triton Extreme and Korg MicroKorg Plug-ins, they have 99% of the sounds Pharrell (The Neptunes) used up until around 2010 or so. These are the actual keyboards they used at that time. Even the drums are the same in the Triton.
