In the 90's, who had the hardest drums in hip hop?

[Self_Born7]

got another 1....

Large Pro....
come on the joints on the main source joints were crazy

I remember when the first solo joint "the LP" came out... the drums in Mad Scientist used to rock... in fact that whole album got crazy drums. and the remix he did on that Nas It aint hard to tell

RZA. Drums were his strength from 1992-1996 imo

That kick and bass hit on I gotcha back, especially at 4:00 when the beat fades out...



Drums on Ghostface's Box in Hand always been sick.

Havoc. snm

Someone on here already mentioned Da Beatminerz... Most songs on Dah Shinin by Smif n Wessun had good drums.

Percussion is something that needs to be talked about more. Buckwild was one of the best with hi-hats and 'christmas bells'.

Lastly, no-one ever talks about Easy Mo Bee's brother, The LG Experience. He always had sick drums.
This beat lacks any clear melody and is almost completely carried by LG's drums

you broke that shyt down to a t

Smif n Wessun dah shining if my favorite beatminerz produced album.. i still get amped when I hear or play sound bwoy burriel
I always say Buckwild is crazily slept on. esp with the remixes... in the 90s' your joint wasn't an official remix if pete rock or buck aint touch it.

The snares on Hell on Earth hit harder than anything I can think of. Havoc wasn’t fukking around :havarmscrossed:

[Living Bait]

I'm going with Easy Mo Bee . . .

Honourable mention to D.R Period too tho

 

[Big Mel]

Q-Tip.


Pete Rock had the most swing.


Take It personal may be the hardest drums though.

 

[RhymesWell]

Tip, DRE, & Timbo

 

[the cac mamba]

this is my favorite snare

 

[Payroll]

DJ Premier

Drums on this

 

[spliz]

Imma have to say Hav. Timbo too. Premo as well.

 

[Payroll]

Its Dre, back when songs had dynamic range, Dres shyt would have a huge crest factor....He really emphasised the knock of the drums and made sure it stayed that way in post.


Dre + Brian Gardner = The cleanest, hardest hitting drums.

The production on Dah Shinin is one of my favourite on any hip hop album. The drums on some of the beats on there are so strong that they even work with just a baseline and don't even need much else from other instruments/samples. Timz n Hood Check being a good example of this.

Yeah, Buckwild has made so much good shyt since the 90s, even did that Like father, like son beat on the game's Documentary. Still got a lot more of him to listen to. This buckwild remix has the christmas bells I was on about - have always liked them in hip hop.



Tambourines I like too if used right. Erick Sermon & Redman used them on a couple beats.
