How does Flume do that?

So I've been listening to the track called v by Flume and I can't wrap my head around the beautiful and complex drum patterns.

Can someone describe what he is playing with here? If yes, what would you recommend me trying out? Like it's not only basic drums he is adding like snare, kick, hi-hat.. there is some other samples and when I try to recreate, it sounds basic. I can hear delay, maybe gating and distortion.

Here is the track

The real craziness starts at 48 seconds.

Sounds like few drum and percussion loops chopped with something like FL Studio slicer and rearranged in a piano roll. Delay with triplet/dotted timing may be adding the polyrhythmic feel.
You may think you can fly ... but you better not try

check out permut8, unfiltered audio spec ops (and others) and some of glitch machines plugins. Also grandular plugins like mangle.
There's a few things out there that can do this but it's just experimental music. Get hold of as many effects as you can similar to above if you wanna do this sort of thing

My guess, he's taking out the individual perc hit from the original loop and just doing crazy pitched delays with the grain delay in Ableton. The drum samples that come in around 48sec sound like some are from soundoracle vol3. That clap sounds almost exactly like the "Civil Clap" in that pack, but who knows. Here's the original loop if you haven't heard it https://instaud.io/M6j (https://instaud.io/M6j) Good Luck

Use recordings of rattling cutlery/dishes, waterdrops and so on, in short, foley recordings!

Sorry to break the dream guys, it's just a sample by Samplephonics ;) In Astral Beats if I remember correctly.

:lol: Bet this happens a LOT. Hell, you could make tracks in minutes with stock loops. The other gig in EDM is ghost production so you don't have to write anything at all.

I'm sure Flume has some talent, though :D

Flume uses Ableton Live in a quite straightforward manner. Anyway, there are also some free samples avaiable: https://app.noiiz.com/sounds/free_packs/745

Rawdia is Correct.
I checked the "Astral Beats" Samplepack (Via Noiiz) and in about 5 or so minutes was able to find it.
Its called "83_MessyGroove_SP_28_01" and is in the "Electronic Beat" folder if anyone wants to check it.
It's without a Doubt the same loop, Kick, Snare, Jingly Top and All. Although Flume seems to have added some Processing and some filtering to make it different then its original.
There might be some extra loops on top of it too. Its kinda of a cluster so its a bit hard to decipher.
The post above this is likely bait, viewer discretion is advised.

What would stop you from using the same loop in your music? I don't get the copyright side of this kind of stuff.
