Has anyone besides me noticed this...

Question to the folks who flip samples...

Has anyone ever noticed on Dilla's Donuts a whole lot of the beats don't have drums that seem programmed? Might be confusing, but to give an example, I mean if you listen to "Stop" I notice that the drums are barely noticeable. It's like he arranged the sample where the drums hit and did not add any of his own drums to it at all.

Listen to this...


And now this...


Hell, the drums are less noticeable in Dilla's version. Does anyone think he's not programming drums on the sample and just chopping it to where the drums in the sample hits so it "fits together" or am I just crazy

Both?

Both, indeed

Sometimes I think he adds kicks and no snares...
