Éclat: Part 46

 

And now for something completely different; this week we turn to The Muppets for our fortnightly dose of inspiration! This week our sample comes from this epic drum-battle between the great Harry Belafonte, and the undeniably greatest-drummer-of-all-time Animal.

Your challenge! All your drums and percussion should come from the sample. You can use any other sounds or synths that you like for the rest of the track.

And let's not leave Logic users out... here's some basics on how to make a beat in Logic.
