Check out "Car Wash" by Rolls Royce, the intro has the perfect Claps with a lot of space and theres about (10) different claps all of them sound different so you can be choosy;-) i tried stacking like three together, damn i nearly pissed my pants. Supercool!
 
Probablt the most over sampled claps in the history of Hip Hop/RnB...

If you have a mic, create your own to taste.
It's easy, fun and educational.

thanks for sharing that info
 
They're about to get sampled a lot more then. :cool:

Thanks again robbeatmuzik!

...speaking of claps...

I noticed in a lot of Storch tracks, he's using claps/snares/snaps in a delayed sorta way so they're kinda spread out over the snare spot a little more, giving it a much cooler sound. Is there any method to the madness there? (is there any actual delays being employed?) It seems like it fits the rhythm of the song too well to attribute it to just trial and error. Example, Roots "Don't Say Nothin'" where he even drops that open double-click thing at the intro, and then you here it used at the snare spot throughout the track. Sh*t is dope.

THis is layering and offsetting one layer against another.

You will be surprised to note how many producers actually use this trick in grid edit mode of their sequencers.

Take a single clap, copy it and offset the start by a few ms. Now listen to that clap.

I hear it used all the time. I guess I'm interested to hear if people are using any specific techniques to do it, as opposed to just trial and error. For instance, taking the same clap, doubling it and delaying it, might make the space too muddy, or at least sometimes it does. So maybe it's a matter of using different claps etc. Storch's use (of the technique) seems so perfect though that my suspicion is he knows how to get it everytime, and itsn't relying on trial and error of different clap combos or whatever.

I know i could use my ears, but I'm trying to take the fun out of it y'all ;)

Man I got like 30 out of them. Some of them were layered with subtle kicks, and I didn't get the whole reverb on some of them, but still...
