  • 160 - 180bpm (usual is 170 - 175. Jump-Up at 180)

    Standard dnb beat (K = Kick S = Snare) 4/4

    1 bar, each note is 1/16 of a bar.

    K 2 3 4 S 2 3 4 1 2 K 4 S 2 3 4

    Hi-Hats can be placed in all sorts of different ways, simplicity calls for one on each 1/16 note.

    Throw extra snares with different pitches/tones in between the first snare and the second for a more jungle vibe.

    Create a bass.

    Create a better bass.

    Work this bass with the beat to create a rhythm.

    The rest is all tweaking bits and automation etc. but considering you asked this question, that would be super technical for me to write out various ideas. You're better off watching tutorial videos for that stuff.
