    industrial / post-punk electronic · Cabaret Voltaire · 1983

    Cabaret Voltaire 1983 template — TR-606 drums alone at 130bpm. Driving kicks on EVERY beat (mechanical four-on-the-floor, no swing), tight snares on 2/4, metallic hat on 8ths, cymbal washes on the 1 of every 2 bars. Drive + delay on for the proto-industrial Sheffield warehouse sound.

  3. 03
    minneapolis funk / pop · Prince · 1984

    Prince 1984 template — Linn LM-1 drums alone at 109bpm. Kick on 1 and 3, snare on 2 and 4, single hi-hat on every 8th, NOTHING ELSE. The original record famously had NO BASS — just drums + synth. The lesson is what you leave OUT. Plate on for the warehouse room sound; never delay (Prince records were dry, not dub).
