ive been trying to work out what elements make up the main beat in this track.

i mean when it drops at 15 secs, quickest intro ever :D

what are your thoughts?

[CTRLS]

Kick, snare/clap, 909 hihat pattern (i think), processed percussionloop (could be bongos), 909 ride (later on). oh and lots of sidechaining on it all.

This is all about compression.
This whole thing is crushed to buttphuckkery.
You notice the level remains pretty flat dynamically all the way through.

There is very little going on here.
Kick Drum. (which is also providing the sub I believe)
Hat loop
Ride
Bongo loop, maybe 2
Shaker loop
There`s a clicky high mid thing, some kind of latino percussion loop.

Basically it`s all sample loops.
Drag some random latino percussion loops together, slap in a big kick, hat and shaker loop, ride, compress the **** out of it, hey presto sims-arama
