Drum Patterns Explained: Axel F - Harold Faltermeyer

US Captain Pikant uses a Digitakt to drop the beats 27/10/21

I'm sure you're familiar with Axel F - Harold Faltermeyer, otherwise known as the Beverly Hills Cop TV programme. In this video, Captain Pikant explains how to recreate the classic drum pattern using an Electron Digitakt and some Goldbaby LinnDrum LM-2 Samples. Every element is sequenced and explained in a step by step manner, helping you form the beat with all the minor details which make it tick - while illustrating some nice functions of the Digitakt. And all done in a second language!

You'll find more videos on his relatively new youtube channel: www.youtube.com/c/CaptainPikant/videos

He has also made transcriptions of the beats available on Patreon. The original is below in case you're not sure:
