Could anyone help me recreate this sound?

[ZMC]

Hey guys,

There's a sound used in a lot of hip hop songs lately that I want to recreate, but I don't really know how.

Here's an example:



At 50 seconds, it's the very fast-pace, high-pitched percussion noise in the background. It sounds a bit like a wood block or something, but I think that maybe it's a high-pitched snare in rapid succession or something.

Either way, I've messed around and I can't recreate it. Hopefully someone knows how to do so.

Thanks!

that is an 808 snare

With the pitch altered? Or is it just in rapid succession.

rapid succession notes so short decay on the snare patch/sample

I hate to pester, but... what am I doing wrong here? I'm using an 808 snare, but it sounds absolutely nothing like the sound in the song whatsoever. Just sounds like... well... a really fast 808 snare.

are you using a sample or an emulator?

if an emulator you may want to play with the tuning, tone and snap

if you don't have one consider this

sigh... this seems a little above my head. I had no idea emulating that noise was such an intricate process.

it is the down side of trying to emulate someone who may well be using the real deal (a proper hardware 808)

I wish I could just find the preset and knew its official name. It's in a lot of hip hop lately. Not just this song.

a synthesizer or drum module like drumaxx or kong is your best best or tremor etc.

I actually have drumaxx, so I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
