DUBSTEP DRUMMING

by Donny Gruendler

Part 1 The Basics

Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music known for its

head-nodding beats dark atmosphere and ear-shaking

bass It draws on many other genres including Jamaican dub

hip-hop jungle drum rsquonrsquo bass and 2-step while fusing them

into a unique blend Dubstep originated in the UK and has

become a popular form of production for mainstream radio

TV spots and club mixes Its main drumming hallmarks are

rigid half-time beats straight 16th to sextuplet hi-hat

permutations and wobble bass all of which play off hard-

edged synth melodies

Many drummers are now being asked to create dubstep

grooves live whether on an acoustic kit or on a hybrid setup

incorporating acoustic drums and electronics This two-part

article will help you understand whatrsquos expected of you when

someone asks you to play dubstep including the standard

grooves winding hi-hat patterns and DJ-style delay effects

THE 2STEP

Dubstep rhythms range between 138 and 142 beats per

minute They are syncopated and often make great use of

glitchy stuttering patterns In its early stages dubstep was

more percussive with influences from 2-step drum patterns

which typically feature a kick on the first and third beats and

syncopated rhythms applied to other elements of the kit

including the hi-hat snare woodblocks and tambourine

These rhythms can be phrased as either straight or swung

Tracks with half-note kicks are perceived as being slower than

the traditional four-on-the-floor beat used in house and

techno music This example is the basis for all 2-step patterns

Placing the kick drum on the ldquoamprdquo of beat 3 is a common

variation

THE DUBSTEP BEAT

Unlike the 2-step which emphasizes beats 1 and 3 on the

kick a dubstep pattern emphasizes only the 1 This gives the

impression of an even slower tempo and itrsquos paired with a

snare or handclap on beat 3 to form a half-time groove The

remaining elements (hi-hat shakers etc) stay in the normalmeter which creates a double-time feel This 8th-note

example is the basis for all dubstep patterns

To create a syncopated thump 16th-note kick drum

patterns can be added

This can be augmented with accents on the hi-hat Herersquos

the original pattern with some accents added

Herersquos the same accent pattern over the 16th-note kick

drum phrasing

You can also play 16th notes (with or without accents) on

the hi-hat

For a rhythmic departure quarter-note triplets can be

employed Herersquos that with the kick on beat 1 and the snare on

beat 3

Herersquos a variation with an additional kick placed in

the triplet

WOBBLE BASS

The most common melodic characteristic of dubstep is the

wobble bass line This extended bass note is manipulated

digitally with a low-frequency oscillator that controls addi-

tional parameters of a synthesizer including volume

distortion and filters These permutations are then altered to

create combinations of quarter- 8th- 16th- and 32nd-noterhythms in straight and triplet subdivisions

SONG STRUCTURE

Dubstep usually features an intro which establishes the sonic

textures and motif Characteristics often include a sparse or

incrementally built drum groove an arpeggiated synth

pattern or textural pad and a vocal breakdown

The second section is the bass drop This is what made

dubstep popular and itrsquos where the wobble bass is most

prevalent Typically the drum groove will drop out or the

existing intro track will start to fade into the background After

a brief pause the bass drop overwhelming the track continues

throughout the rest of the section The drop is also often

placed alongside a sonically heavier drum groove

The third section called the riff often features a repeating

modulated bass part Whereas most bass drops will include atleast three different musical notes the riff section relies on

repeating the intro motif alongside new elements Rather

than the bass dropsrsquo ldquowub wubrdquo sound bass in the riff will

sound more like ldquoyob yobrdquo

The final section the outro is usually a repetitive vamp

where the tune either fades out or comes to a crashing halt

Many dubstep artists also return to a normal 2-and-4

backbeat which implies a double-time feel over the original

half-time melodies and motifs

THE R EWINDRELOAD

This is a standard technique often used by DJs when a songseems to be especially popular on the dance floor The DJ will

spin back the record by hand without lifting the stylus in

order to play the track again from the bass drop

ALL TOGETHER NOW

Using all of the elements discussed Irsquove created a basic

dubstep tune for you to download and use for play-along

practice (available at moderndrummercom) Note that a DS

al coda is used to repeat the bass drop and riff which then

leads into the last intro reprise and outro

DUBSTEP DRUMMING

Part 2 Essential Tracks

In the last article we examined the various components

used in dubstep including the 2-step groove the wobble

bass and the rewind Now letrsquos take a look at some influential

and real-world dubstep patterns and tunes The following

transcriptions are meant not to be an all-inclusive list but

rather a good entrance point for the genre Irsquove included

early innovators alongside many of todayrsquos more pop-

infused tracks

As yoursquore reading through each example keep in mind

that the notated grooves are just the basic structure of

what to play It would be impossible to notate every little

sound and texture within a dubstep track Therefore itrsquosopen to interpretation

THE INNOVATORS

In this section I have transcribed many of the early innovators

of the dubstep style These grooves feature dubsteprsquos hallmark

rigid half-time beats and syncopated hi-hats as well as the

occasional quarter-note triplet Each producer is very playful

with sonic textures as well Where appropriate Irsquove done my

best to notate the additional sounds

Digital Mystikz ldquoEarth a Run Redrdquo (139 bpm)

This track is influenced by Jamaican dub and features an

extremely heavy groove Therersquos a hi-hat accent notated on theldquoamprdquo of beats 2 and 4 which is actually a white-noise type of

sound As the track progresses the groove expands with

additional hi-hat variations and subtle kick drum additions

Herersquos the main pattern (027)

Digital Mystikz ldquoAnti War Dubrdquo (140 bpm)

This track has a heavy two feel and the half note is at

140 bpm The second stave is a bongo-esque sound which

you could also voice on a second snare conga or other

percussion instrument (041)

Benga ldquoKiller Steprdquo (139 bpm)

Here Benga utilizes multiple hi-hat parts alongside a heavy

half-note kicksnare pattern The lower stave outlines a quiet

second kick drum and synth bass part (054)

Benga ldquoI Will Never Changerdquo (140 bpm)

In this groove Benga employs a very heavy and dub-like kick

and snare sound He also substitutes an electronic ride

cymbal for the hi-hat You should use a high-pitched washy

cymbal when playing this pattern (055)

Burial ldquoWounderrdquo (141 bpm)This eight-bar phrase is quite interesting yet repetitive The

lower stave features a very quiet and distant-sounding

rimclick part (010)

Coki ldquoMood Dubrdquo (136 bpm)

ldquoMood Dubrdquo is very repetitive but sonically diverse In both

measures the ldquoamprdquo of beat 2 features a powerful synthetic clapThe last 8th note in the second bar employs a dry staccato

clap as well (141)

Kode9 ldquoBlack Sunrdquo (130 bpm)

This cyclical pattern features rimclick and snare hits in each

measure (000)

Kode9 ldquoMagnetic Cityrdquo (141 bpm)

Kode9 keeps the same structure throughout this groove while

intermittently adding additional hi-hats and snare fills that

decay into the background (127)

N-Type ldquoEarly Door Jawrdquo (140 bpm)

Multiple sounds are used in the intro of this tune including

three hi-hat tones and two distortion variants A long gated

white-noise distortion is used on beat 3 which is layered with

a snare Therersquos also a scrape-like distortion on beat 2 ofmeasure 1 and on the ldquoamprdquo of beat 4 in measure 2 These

devices continue during the bass drop but the hi-hat remains

on one pitch and employs 8th notes throughout (000)

N-Type ldquoTolerancerdquo (139 bpm)

Here N-Type maintains the same kick and snare structure

while adding hi-hat rhythms (112)

At 422 a bongo-type sound is placed on top of the

established groove that begins at 402

Skream ldquoMidnight Request Linerdquo (140 bpm)

Skream employs rests within the intro In the riff sections the

ldquoardquo of beat 3 is placed on a second synthetic 808-inspired kickIn the second riff section a second hi-hat is added on beats 3

and 4 These are straight and robotic compared with the rest

of the groove (024)

Skream ldquoRuttenrdquo (140 bpm)

Skream programs the intro drums in this track in a very

hip-hop-like manner The 16th notes are neither straight nor

swung but are rather in the cracks between During the bass

drop the semi-shuffled dotted-8th16th fragment is moved

to beat 3

POP983085INFUSED TRACKS

These grooves feature many of dubsteprsquos hallmark rigid

half-time beats and syncopated hi-hats alongside popular

mainstream verses choruses and hooks

12th Planet and Juakali ldquoReasonsrdquo (Dr P Remix) (141 bpm)

This vocal composition features four distinct sections

and groove variations Fat kicks are used alongside wide

clap samples and a ride cymbal is employed during the

riff section

The Bug and Warrior Queen ldquoPoison Dartrdquo (143 bpm)

This static groove has a winding hi-hat pattern and a snare-

decay fill on beat 3 of each bar In addition the snare pitches

upward in bar 1 and downward in bar 2 (017)

Katy B ldquoKaty on a Missionrdquo (138 bpm)

This tune utilizes two hi-hat pitches and employs a slightly

swung 16th-note fragment on beat 4 The hi-hat on beat 4

should be played as a long slightly open note (041)

La Roux ldquoIn for the Killrdquo (Skreamrsquos ldquoLetrsquos Get Raveyrdquo Remix)(138 bpm)

Here therersquos a static groove alongside a gated snare and

punchy kick (149)

Skrillex ldquoScary Monsters and Nite Spritesrdquo (141 bpm)

Although most purists may consider this song ldquobrosteprdquo it did

make US listeners aware of the dubstep genre The intro and

bass drop grooves are very traditional with their 8th-note

hi-hat gated snare and slightly syncopated kick patterns

At 252 the hi-hats alternate pitches and become busier

HERITAGE

I hope you continue to explore the historical lineage of

electronic music Just as we study the evolution of Dixieland

swing blues and jazz I suggest that you also delve into

Jamaican dub and see how it influenced hip-hop house

techno UK garage and dubstep As in those more traditional

styles each dub-influenced artist borrows from the previous

generation Plus each new stylistic development is often

linked to an advancement in technology In short electronic

music has traceable roots and a deep lineage worthy of

exploration by drummers of all genres Have fun
