a beat witouth a snare is usually sounding incomplete to me. not always though.

shyt has to be a perfect sample with a good groove in it. Especially if it has a percussive nature to it. If the sample is just average then the no snare beats fall flat.

RZA, Dilla, Madlib, and Alchemist have been 4 producers that have been able to do the no snare thing on occasion and pull it off.

@Nigmund Freud , @DJ Dope-Needlz and others, can we get a list of all the key components of a hip hop beat and what they sound like.

e.g. snare (with link to what a snare sounds like), kick, hi-hat, etc

RZA and Dilla are definitely the best at it

you can google that bruh

that info, put in a concise, simple way, isn't as easy to find as y'all think. And this is a site for hip hop discussion.

People discuss stuff that's way easier to google/not worth googling on The Coli all the time. I bring up something interesting that requires a tiny bit of expertise and it's 'head to google'.

Just say y'all too lazy and we'll call it a day.

The funny thing is Dilla always get so much praise for his drums but he's great at the no drums thing. Even RZA's beats with snares a lot of times don't have ti crashing through really loud.

9th Wonder even brought in Raekwon to do a homage to the 260 joint that RZA produced on Ironman for Ghost and Rae.


I gotta say Just Blaze did it pretty good also.

EDIT: There's actually a snare in there but it's very quiet and subdued.


Some of my favorite RZA ones were all on Ironman.

Some of my favorite Dilla ones also on Donuts (where that Ghostface beat came from:

good choices i posted that Ventilation joint already but that's one of my faves off Covert Coup

dudes in here saying a beat with no snare sounds "incomplete" are missing the point, it takes some real creativity and rhythm to make a dope snare less instrumental, cats should listen to the links i posted in here cause a lot of these beats are gems
