Sound pack No. 10 · Amapiano
AMAPIANO
Log drums, gospel keys and a shaker that never stops.
Everything for amapiano on the FM-1: a soft deep kit with the shaker up front and seven log drums, from a gentle sub boom to a gritty knock and a swooping bend. On top, the jazzy side of the genre: a gospel piano for minor 9ths, a glassy electric piano, the organ, a sax-like lead, a breathy flute and a vocal chop, with warm and airy pads, a humming choir and the sweeps between sections.

01VELVET ROPE112 BPM · 4 bars · 0:20
Private-school amapiano at 112 in Eb minor: a log drum phrased in threes, jazzy minor 9th piano chords held from the 'a' of 2, a shaker that never stops, and a flute answer.
02DEEP END114 BPM · 4 bars · 0:19
Deep amapiano at 114 in G# minor: a gritty log drum that calls and answers, mood stabs off the beat, the kit's logs knocking a fifth up, and a hummed choir.
