The one inspiration I kind of followed was certain beats from Eminem songs. I enjoy Eminem's beats more than other rappers because i feel like they have more subsistence and I can easily find myself tapping my foot along to the beat. I tried to mimic catchy pattern with my creation because I know that people don't like boring music. Anyways, I created a fourth not pattern for the hi hat and a half note pattern for the snare. I also incorporated a crash to hit with the second snare in pattern A. Pattern B for the second beat is a little ska pattern with the bass alternating the snare with a hi hat pattern to fit in between. The bass does change to add variety to the beat. The fill that ties the two beats together contains some of the bass pattern from A section while having the ska feel from the snare and the hi hat from pattern B. My fill also has the middle tom and floor tom to make the fill, a fill.
I feel that the two patterns contrast quite well for the ska pattern differs from most I have seen. All the sounds were used from drum kit 3, 5, and 6 on the browser. Give it a listen, you might like it.
I DO like it. Well done! I'm not so sure I've heard many Eminem beats that go this fast, or ska beats this slow (you can slow down the tempo you know), but I like your work nonetheless. I especially liked the toms that make up your fill at :4 and the way they are panned. This is good use of your stereo field.
