Trap Drum Basics: Super Neat Beat Cheat Sheet
Published on Oct 8, 2015 Propellerhead
I just saw the tutorial video above come in from Propellerhead's YouTube channel. It's a tutorial on how to create "Trap" beats. At 3:04 the video states that "Trap Music" came out nearly 30 years after the 808 in 2012. The style is based on the technique applied to drum sequencing but if you think about it, it arrived much earlier with ratcheting in sequencers as used by Klaus Schulze in Tangerine Dream. On a related note, Suit & Tie Guy claims to have created the reference in roughly 2003 or 2004 at 24:08 in the video below (previously posted). The technique was integrated into Numerology and was called Gate Divide. A second tutorial video on Ratcheting from Roger Arrick of Synthesizers.com is further below. I don't have time to dig in and compare the math between "Trap Music" vs "Ratcheing" as I need to catch up on the morning's posts, but the technique at first glance does appear to be similar if not the same. As for when a specific style of music came about is more a distinction between when a technique is applied vs. when it becomes common, labelled or claimed. It's all just words & technique in the end.
