try starting with a simple breakbeat and moving it in to double time. I'd reccomend using old soul and hip hop records, if you want that classic drum n' bass sound. other than that, it really depends on what kind of drum n' bass you are talking about. if you're looking for that more synthetic electro high energy drum n' bass, all you'll need are some good drum hits and some tight hi hat patterns to work with, and that's all you need. most people try too hard to work with the bass and snare, but the key to drum n' bass is in the hi hats, that's where the organic quality comes in. if you use too much snare and bass it can sound cluttered.

good luck

Hi GSN,

I can't help you with your request, sorry, but what did strike me from reading it, was that if you could record your own voice speaking that request, and upload it to Freesound, it could well make a valuable and unique contribution to the database here. Just a thought.
