Biography

Drums The Beatdropers production is typically characterized by flat, punchy drum machine sounds and the use of module presets.

The Beatdropers revealed many of their production techniques. In reference to their drums he said, "Saenz will play a standard drum kit, then I will cut 16 bars of it into a loop, before using the same method for other instruments including guitars. That's where a lot of the feel of their records comes from — it's not just machines and loops.
