I've got a few simple tips here, and one of my tracks to study. No, it's not EXACTLY Venetian Snares, because that's not what I was going for, but you could use these methods to make that. First thing is use a very fast tempo. Somewhere between 170 and 180 sounds best to me. Next thing is use something very similar to the amen break loop, or make it. Google the amen break if you don't know it. You'll find PLENTY of information on that. Lastly, and most important for what you're looking for, use the stutter on the Rasslebock to move into different areas of your drop, and automate it to ascend and descend in varying bursts. Try to create a long pattern as to avoid too much repetition in the effect. This enhances how much of a "glitch" it feels like. I hope I was helpful, because I had this same question when I first started here and spent a good while trying to figure it out myself. Here's that track. The Nihilist

Also, loops are a better option than making your own for a more Venetian snares sound rather than a modern DnB style. Mainly, because you can use actual recordings of real drum kits that sound very consistent rather than samples from different environments. This is a huge part of VS's sound, and part of the reason the classic amen break sounds so damn good in that genre. Real drums resampled.

Depends on the type of dnb.
However, start with the beat, then the bassline.
I tend to throw in a simple dnb beat sample, make a bassline. Then make some new drums to fit with the bass tonally.
K = kick
S = Snare
- 1/16 note spare
K - - - S - - - - - K - S - - -
Is a pretty standard beat.
Or try
K - - - S - K - - - - - S - - -
You can add pitched snares/hats/other percs to fit whatever style of dnb you're going for around those simple beats.

This is by no means how I would make a beat. But it gives you the markers for what can work as dnb.
pattern 1 is simple
pattern 2 is more complex.

That kind of dnb has that first beat as the standard and then performs variations around that.
The use of hats and silence are what create the glitchy feel.

would this work for like a glitchy dnb track?
maybe something like Venetian snares

probably just look up DnB and it will pop up.
oK, i'm seeing the advice to use an Amen break or something like it. I've noticed that some of the tracks people are making are using some of the classic jungle breaks. What is ok to upload? Is the Amen break fair game on this platform? I have samples of an Amen break time stretched with an akai to create a certain sound to the break. Is that ok to use? Other classic breaks that are so common they seem to now be in the public domain are ok to upload? I'm definitely seeing people making tracks that are almost entirely samples and I know they aren't making all the material themselves (as some I recognize). Can we take a classic break and chop it to the point it is distinct from the orginal? Someone please fill me in on the finer points of this issue. Thx.
