Another BPM Lesson For The Kiddies
In this example, we have Darth and Vader with a glorious 128 BPM remix of Coming Alive by Vandalism and iKid.
Notice the crafty way they weave a 64 BPM dubstep drop at 3:40, then nimbly double back to 128 BPM.
Stay tuned for another lesson soon.
and? i don´t get what the lesson behind this would be. there thousands of songs out the with the excact same pattern. sorry but imho this isn´t even worth to start a new thread…
+1. 128 is a very standard tempo, and I don’t see any skill involved in going to and from half/double time (definitely not ‘crafty’ or ‘nimble’).
I miss the days when loverocket just made fun of everyone else’s music… 
No no no - you’ve all missed the lesson here… 128 divided by 2, is 64. BUT…
64 times by 2 is 128!!!
The man’s a genius. Truly. 
it was intended for the idiots that think that 70 BPM dubstep is actually 140 BPM.
there we go…the loaded troll post i was looking for
what is your problem, man? i think we´ve been over this debate several times and i´d say that in fact the idiot is you for starting a thread so meaningless and with no good intentions at all. very helpful to the community as well…
Wait - Dubstep ISN’T 140BPM? When was this decided and why wasn’t I consulted???
Tell that to Traktor’s beat detection…
As for the drop, suspect this was done in Ableton Live or something similar so it’s not that hard to calculate the pauses and with grid help and tempo automation figure out how things sound smooth. I was hoping this was a live DJ event or something similar, that’s where this talent would have been true.
I am not trolling. Just proving I am correct about BPM’s. Just loaded DEV - Bass Down Low (Proper Villains Remix) into Traktor … (analyzing)…70 BPM.
You have proven absolutely nothing. Go talk to an experienced drummer, come back when have a fundamental understanding of tempo (and mathematics).
Some return 70 with Traktor, some not. I recommend doing a little bit more extensive testing than using one single dubstep track – assuming you own more than one dubstep track of course.
I am a drummer. And a metronome measures quarter notes not eighth notes.
Always a solid strategy to feel useful, try to make yourself seem smarter than other people by starting a topic with a counter argument to an argument that wasn’t brought up. As if your other threads on this weren’t enough. Go find something better to do or preach to people who care.
Also its really cute how you sign all your posts.
He did just discover Knife Party about… a week ago or so…
140 is different than 70 just like 1/2 is different than 2/4, or 3/6… durrr… what was the question again?
I don’t really understand the point here. Dubstep is typically 140-150 BPM. If it comes up as 70 or 75, it’s because the transient detection in (insert DVS here) is pretty crap. Any person who vindictively says dubstep is 70 BPM is a twat who doesn’t understand rhythm structure. /thread
Its called math. Why are we starting a thread about this again?
see why I am frustrated. I am a DJ and a drummer and I use to dance as well. I know rhythm very well. If you isolate the dubstep drums, that is a slow tempo beat, around 60-80 BPM. the snare is on 2 and 4. Just beacuse you set FL studio to 140 BPM and place your snares on 3 doesn’t mean you can change centuries of music theory. Placing the snares on 3 is incorrect. That would mean your 1/8ths are now 1/16ths and your 1/32’s are now 1/64’s etc. that’s incorrect.
Somebody tell Skrillex that he is doing it wrong…
