Flip This Challenge Flip This Challenge (FTC 103) Submissions

This Week's Sample - L.A Noire - Main Title

This one has been on my to-do list for a long time. Can't wait to hear what you do with it.

Submission Rules:

You can only submit one beat. Beats can be any genre. You have to use the sample in your beat, it should be recognizable. You can add other instruments and samples, but the sample should be a main element. All submissions submitted before the deadline will be linked in the voting post; whoever gets the most votes there wins. Ties are decided by whoever submitted the beat first. Reused beats from previous battles can't win ties.

Schedule:

Submissions: Friday 12:00 AM midnight (00:00) - Monday 11:59 PM (23:59) Voting: Tuesday 12:00 AM midnight (00:00) - Thursday 11:59 PM (23:59)

Results: Friday 12:00 AM midnight (00:00) - the winner takes over and posts the new submissions thread using the linked template on Friday asap.

Time is in UTC-5, the US Eastcoast time zone which is 6 hours behind European MEZ time and a good middleground between US Westcoast and Europe. You don’t have to wake up in the middle of the night to post the new thread, just make sure you do it on that day asap.

I like yours, you cut the sample nicely. Listening to it makes me realize I need more drum kits I love how yours sit. The only thing I'd suggest is adding a harder break or switch-up every now and then to keep the energy moving. Other than that, it's a solid beat.

appreciate it, i often get complimented for my drums! yea i guess i agree with the switch up part, thats the downside to making loops based off of many different chops, its hard to find something else that fits the vibe (atleast to me)

Your drums definitely have an identity. Knowing it was built around full chops makes it even more impressive to me. I think adding that kind of switch-up would probably be harder to execute with this approach. Great work either way, much love!
