The MANIAC drum pattern!

MANIAC - The most INSANE drum pattern of the '80s | Drum Patterns Explained

Auf einen modernen 16 Spur Sequencer wie dem ‚Squarp Hapax‘ ist es dabei sogar noch um einiges einfacher als mit den Mitteln seinerzeit. Mega-Geegkig und mega interessant dieser Clip.

The drum pattern of Michael Sembello’s „Maniac“ is positively insane. It’s what you’d get if you made a Synthwave drum track, decided it wasn’t complex enough, glitched it up with a tiny dash of Aphex Twin and then put a second drum track on top of that with over a dozen Tom fills for good measure. Pure ’80s maximalism with two of the most iconic drum sounds of that era.
