High hats! Piano! This is more of a remix than a beat, really. It's like some sort of megamix remix or something, but it just never goes to the next track in the megamix.

Whatever, though, cause I love this beat. That's why I made started making 'em in the first place! Taking the part of a song I like, giving it stronger drums, and looping the good stuff. That's boogie magic.

Sticks. That's what drew me to attempt this blend of digital drums and raw percussion. At the time I made this, the end game for every one of my instrumentals was to have them live on as hip hop beats. So I was curious to see if the cacophony of the sticks and the steady bass and snare of a drum machine would mix well.

I think it does. And it's a hot beat. But because it was made with vocals in mind, I don't think I varied the structure enough to make it a real gem. But listen and let me know what you think -- you might love it just the way it is.

This beat was made one of my favorite ways -- taking two sections of a song with the same rhythm but slightly varying melodies, and then looping them at the same time, one on the right and one on the left.

To me, this mellow product has a bit more reply charm than the original. Though it's not nearly as moving or memorable as its predecessor, I think it's got a great vibe.
