I'm wanting to know what do I really need to create some fat beats I have no hardware except for a computer with alot of memory. What all do I need to get started and how much would it cost.

I agree Wai, "Jungle" is a lame term these days, but what do I call myself then, "George of the drum n' bass?!?!?!"

I don't think it makes a hell of a difference what you call it. Say Jungle, say Drum 'n' Bass. When I call it Jungle, my friends all think I play gourds or something. I say Drum 'n' Bass and they ask me if I can somehow play both at once. I'd rather drop the two lame ass names and call it somethin like BadmuthaFuk 'n' breaks.

I call our music "Jazz" because a lot of it is improvised around the sequences. Once upon a time jazz was "the" dance music. As a matter of fact, the first time I heard jungle I drew a comparison to Be-Bop with computers.
Check an album called 'Drum 'n Bass n' Guitar' by a guy named Derek Bailey (very well known spontaneous jazz guitarist) to see what I mean.

Olla, what's a splinter?

Oh and here's a question that I'd really like some specific answers for. I've asked this before but wasn't able to give an example. Please click on this link and tell me if you have any ideas how I can make my drum loops roll like this one. I'm always striving for it but seldom hit the nail on the head like this loop does. I guess dynamics is important but HOW with dynamics? Perhaps you have trouble too?

Hey you know the inner workings of the loop! Now...can you talk in laymans terms? What's 'Amen' and 'Think'? I gotta ask where you get these terms. Is there a Drum'n'Bass glossary I don't know about? Now I'm really curious and I'm gonna sit here all night waiting for a reply cuz this simple loop has me hooked...
