anywhere between 88-93 nowadays


esp if ur going for that oh so popular Lil John sound.
 
depends on how u program the drums.

1/32 or 1/64 can be very useful.


it's a personal preference thing.
 
^ exactly its just the drum programming.

I have club beats that are at 70 bpm...

A lot of dirty south is in that range its just the hi-hat is moving a long at a quicker pace.

Peace

Co-sign. 93-105 is usually too fast these days...unless the mc spits slower over the beat to ofset the fast tempo. 70 can work...but again, it comes to the mc who would need to spit faster to offset the slow tempo (and the hi-hats like KomplexBeats stated). But rarely can you go wrong, depending on your instrumentation and melodies and drum lines of course, with the 88-93 bpm range.
At least from my experience.
 
Yeah yall are right my bad. For slower clubbeats I have lots of quick moving hat and for the faster I have slower hat to give an allusion that it is slower than it actually is.
 
holidae inn isn't even a southern beat and thats somewhere around teh 70 i believe. i say it can be anywhere from 60 - 120 really
 
Man, club beats can have a wide range, but like some one said early it's about the arrangement....the energy of the rapper is also what counts to. It's like a formula....BPM + rapper X energy + the beat / lyrics = s

I almost agree with that equation.:D

But I agree with the point completely.
 
Usher - Yeah is 104 or 105, I forget. That was a HOT jam in the clubs and still is in many. I think that producers often over look some of the stuff that gets club goers going. Even though 90 - 95 tends to be the average, the songs that are up around 105 are the ones that get people going, as long as the energy of the beats is on.....

Tag-team may be gone, but producers need to remember what "works" the club.....
 
80 to 110 or 160 to 220bpm. That's depending on how you record your tracks.
