I’ve just finished a new beat titled "Snorkel Geyser," a blend of alternative rock and funk set at 110 BPM.
This groove merges alt-rock experimentation with a funky bounce. It features evolving hi-hat and snare patterns, maintaining engagement without losing the measure's structure. Syncopation is prevalent, yet the rhythm remains clear.
Instead of marking sections with crashes on the one, I used pattern changes and fills, giving the beat a smoother flow. It includes a two-hand 16th note pattern and snare work reminiscent of 80s alternative tracks.
If you're looking for a beat to jam to or to inspire new ideas, give it a spin. I'd love to hear what you come up with!
