I just wrapped up a new beat - "Snorkel Geyser." It's a groove that blends alternative rock with funk, landing at 110 BPM.
I wanted to create something that blends alt-rock experimenting with a funky bounce. The beat evolves through different hi-hat and snare patterns, keeping things interesting without losing the plot. It's pretty syncopated throughout, but you'll always know where you are in the measure.
One thing I tried differently here: instead of crashing on the one to mark sections, left it up to pattern changes and fills. It gives the whole thing a smoother flow, I think.
There's this two-hand 16th note pattern, and some snare work that kinda nods to 80s alternative tracks we all love. (well, some of us anyway😉)
Anyway, I had a blast putting this together. If you're looking for something to jam to or spark some ideas, give it a spin. Curious to hear what you might create with it!
