Linn LM-1 · when doves cry109 bpm
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).
