Squarepusher's drums.

Tell a fucking story.

It's nuts, I feel like I know exactly what he's talking
about. They are like a living organism telepathically
telling you an epic which takes place over 3000 years.
One that could not be in spoken words...

I can just sit, close my eyes and hear every single snare or
I can run around my room dancing like a fucking maniac.

Maybe I'm just crazy...

Some of the drums on Big Loada makes drukqs (drums) look
like an mp3.com artist.

Squarepusher makes the whole genre of "drum 'n bass"
dissapear...

Sorry to make four posts in my own thread =)

He has a pretty small gear list. I remember reading what it
was once in an interview he did. I cant recall exactly what
he was using then, but he said he was pretty heavily into
reaktor and he has some kind of hardware effect bank with
tons of effects all in the one unit. I forget what mag the
interview was in heh.

this guy must have some kinda special power, that make him
break his beats like no one can do...

Personnally im working since a long time on wayz to
"squarepush" my breakbeat sequences... it take me a long
time to make tracks using separated elements, on acid pro
3.0 (4 type of each different kick, snare, crash)... But
it's not impossible to do squarepusher like structure...
look at my mp3 page...
www.Mp3.com/kalaim_bk
the track is called "Kommando Gegen Terrorismus".

I enjoy "The Tide" simply because when I play it for my
jazz-influenced drummer friends... they simply freak out and
are like... "Pat, I didn't know drums could be played that
way". And I'm just like... "hehehe".

"the swifty" is such a cool track (in terms of drums) by
him.. really offbeat (at least some parts are)

The best drums by SquarePusher would have to be on 'The
Exploding Psychology'. All the gliding stretches and pitch
changes do something really cool inside my brain.

was listening to big loada while driving around with my
girlfriend. we got onto journey to redham and she realized
all that noise was drums ... really fast drums. she finally
understood it.

i love that girl.

From what I know...

SQPR's first tracks were done with a shite drum machine
triggering a sampler (where his breaks, bits of breaks
were)...

Kinda puts all those Screen Fiddlers to shame really...

And it shows, it's not the kit you've got, it's how you use
it!!!...

And it still guts me that I probably met SQPR back in days
when he used to come to a club in Braintree called The
Barn....or at a party I went to at SunScreams studio in
Chelmsford...(shites, that's going back a few years...must
be over 10 yrs ago...)...

Always the Bridesmaid and never the Bride...:)..

i think that tom does his own drumming and then compresses
the shit out of them and then feeds them into pro-tools to
double - triple the tempo with the time stretch function!
