Amapiano Drum Kit Free Download

To begin our exploration into Amapiano music, we must start with the foundation. As with most genres, one of the main defining features of Amapiano is the drums. The tempos, drum sounds, and patterns that make Amapiano music are vital to understanding how to program and create this style of music.

Start by programming the drums with a four-on-the-floor pattern. First, set the tempo to 112 BPM, select a drum kit on the ZR1 Drum Sequencer, and program a four-bar pattern. Then, choose Conga Kit 2 from the Latin Percussion kit and add a kick drum from the Roland Classic Drums kit. Start this pattern with constant sixteenth notes on the shaker and an open hi-hat on the offbeats (third square in each quarter note column).

The log drum may be the quintessential defining element of Amapiano music. While based on a real instrument, in Amapiano, the log drum is a hybrid tone somewhere between a kick drum, 808, synth bass, and actual log drum percussion. The log drum creates the bass lines and momentum for the songs. While there can be other bass lines, the log drum is essentially the 808 of Amapiano. You can use it as a rhythmic and harmonic accent to the drum pattern.

To get this sound, use ZENOLOGY to create your patch. To do this, load a basic kick sound using the PCM menu on the first partial (Synth Kick 4). Then add a sine wave on the second partial and a marimba PCM sample blended with a synth bass on the third partial. The fourth partial has a PCM sample of a Kalimba with some pitch modulation. Then slightly adjust the cutoff for the entire instrument. After creating this sound, pull up a Log Drum instrument in Sound Canvas VA. By layering these sounds, you can produce a log drum that sounds digital yet has some characteristics of the original instrument.

The word amapiano is a IsiZulu or IsiXhosa, or dipiano is a word loosely translated to "the pianos",[6]The genre is mostly sang in Zulu and Xhosa, Sotho, Setswana, Xitsonga, one of South Africa's native tongues.

The genre's popularity has created a proliferation internationally, where producers attempt to replicate or fuse the sound with other genres for their next hit.Examples of such is Nigerian artist Davido's "Champion Sound" with South African artist Focalistic. This track was a major hit that led to the surge of Nigerian artists attempting to use the south African sound. The track "Monalisa" by Lojay featuring Chris Brown contains the signature "log drum", also known as the slit drum and other amapiano percussive elements.[23]

The "Top 50 - Nigeria" Spotify chart contains a plethora of amapiano-inspired songs. Some of the songs are explicitly titled amapiano, such as "Amapiano" by Asake featuring Olamide.[24] This has led to a misconception in the United States that amapiano originates from Nigeria. This can be seen in a recent tweet by American artist Swae Lee, where he tweeted the Nigerian flag, alongside the words "Wait till y'all hear Swae Lee on Amapiano".[25]

Responding to a Twitter fan who confessed his love for the "new amapiano wave ish", K.O responded: "Amapiano is super current and unashamedly SA and that's what I stand for as well in my music." K.O's first experimentation with amapiano was in his 2019 album PTY UnLTD on the song "4AM". The direction was typical of K.O's inclination to always progress with the times.

It was inevitable. In South Africa, hip-hop has always competed with dance music. In the '90s and early 2000s, kwaito was up against Afro-house, then gqom in the 2010s, and currently, amapiano. South Africa is a dancing nation, there's no two minds about this! Aggregated, the house scene trumps hip-hop where popularity is concerned. Hip-hop artists who are keen to marry their hip-hop with any of the aforementioned dance music genres usually score the big hits.

Before becoming revered amapiano producers, Tyler ICU and Mas Musiq were once hip-hop producers. It then shouldn't be a surprise when the former fuses the two genres; Tyler ICU has become the go-to producer for many artists seeking this noteworthy blend. After the release of his comeback single "Buyile", rapper Khuli Chana took to Instagram to share, "A couple of months back, I reached out to Tyler ICU and humbly asked him to create a street banger for me!" The song interpolates kwaito legend Arthur Mafokate's 1996 song "Seng 'Buyile" and contains the popular amapiano chant "hayi, yebo" in the hook.

Amapiano has undoubtedly taken over the streets, clubs, charts, radio, television and everywhere else. As South African hip-hop strives to regain broad mainstream prominence, more rappers and producers are tapping into, and incorporating amapiano elements into their music. One of the earliest instances is Dr Peppa's 2019 hit "What It Is", with guest appearances from rappers Chang Cello, Lucasraps and Riky Rick. During a beat breakdown for SlikourOnLife's The Recipe show, the song's producer Tyler ICU explained how he'd added amapiano shakers, trumpet and log drum to the beat because "everyone is jamming to amapiano right now".

A year later, Riky Rick enlisted the prolific producer for his Focalistic-assisted single "Ungazincishi" and Mas Musiq on "Home". Both songs were released at the same time and marked the hip-hop star's first experiment with the yanos as the main artist. A couple of months prior, Mas Musiq roped in Riky Rick to work with on "Mthande" (2019), alongside amapiano royalty Sha Sha, DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small. Apart from the singing he does on "Mthande", the rapper flows seamlessly on amapiano productions. He demonstrated this artistry in his verse on Busta 929 & Mr JazziQ's "VSOP" (2020).

In a sit-down with Maraza for his The Life SoFa Podcast towards the end of 2020, producer and rapper Makwa revealed that he'd taught Force from MFR Souls how to perfect his craft, and also alluded to being one of the pioneers of amapiano. Depending who you ask, MFR Souls is often regarded as the genre's creator. Makwa is mostly known for his kwaito-inflected productions (which he calls "mzonkonko") and his work with Kwesta. In 2019, Makwa produced and appeared on DJ PH's "uGesi" alongside Kwesta, Maraza and August Child. The song switches between hip-hop and amapiano at various sections. Another song that follows on the same path is Da L.E.S' "Elon Musk", which features Focalistic, Kamo Mphela and Jobe London and is produced by hip-hop and amapiano producers GT Beats and Mphow69, respectively.

Kwesta recently described the relationship between hip-hop and amapiano as "very tricky" during his interview on Podcast and Chill With MacG, adding: "I think it's all hood music and [the artists] should be together. When people try and make it, somewhat, of a worthy attack to call me a kwaito artist and I say, 'of course I'm a fucking kwaito artist, it's just what I do'. The first story of the ghetto guy in music was told through kwaito and I'm continuing that shit, because I am that fucking ghetto guy."

The relationship between kwaito and amapiano is obvious to anyone aware of the latter genre. Amapiano vocalists often borrow lyrics and cadences from kwaito, while the producers make use of kwaito basslines and rhythms. Many artists such as Reece Madlisa, Zuma, Njelic, De Mthuda and others share happily and willingly about the influence kwaito has had on them. Self-professed "king of amapiano", Kabza De Small even once tweeted, "kwaito music is the foundation of amapiano.

Cassper Nyovest made this relationship more obvious in his 2019 "kwaito album" Sweet and Short, featuring tracks such as "Remote Control" and "Tseya Ukwe", on which he rapped over beats laced with amapiano's customary lush pads, trumpet and the omnipresent log drum.

The hip-hop superstar has always been an amapiano fan, and was one of the first rappers to embrace it. Cassper Nyovest's infectious presence has graced tracks like amapiano powerhouse DJ Sumbody's 2018 single "Monate Polaye", Major League DJz & Abidoza's "Le' Plane Elandile" (2020), Kabza De Small's "Sponono" from the 'piano king's 2020 album I Am The King of Amapiano: Sweet and Dust. The rapper is currently working on a full-on amapiano project. He recently shared its first two singles, "Ama'Number Ayi10" which features prominent amapiano artists Kammu Dee, Abidoza and LuuDaDeejay, as well as "Angisho Guys" alongside Lady Du. ff782bc1db
