well, i think i could answer that question for you homie, ’cause i do it in my own beats as well. you actually already know the answer, ’cause you answered it in your question…lol!

the trick is to spread your drums out, like your kick and your snares/claps further apart from each other than you normally would. it’s a little tricky at first, but once you get used to it, you’ll figure it out quickly.

it’s really like double-time patterns, or in other words, if i have a beat say at 174 BPM, if we divide that number by 2 (174/2), you’ll get 87. so, even though the beat is at 174 BPM it "feels" as if it’s at 87 BPM. you have to go more by the "feel" of the drums and the rhythm (the pulse of the beat). and by doing this, you can create some vicious, head-noddin’ drum patterns!

and another trick is this: you can do this same thing in reverse! like make a beat in an extremely slow tempo, like say 50 BPM. and if you squeeze the drums closer than usual, it will sound 2x faster (50 BPM x 2). so, it will sound and "feel" like it’s actually at 100 BPM!

 - For super fast tempos over 120 BPM, if you want to make them sound or "feel" twice as slow, spread your drums out further.

 - For super slow tempos under 60 BPM, if you want to make them sound or "feel" twice as fast, then squeeze your drums much closer than you normally would.

i hope this helps you out man. hey sho — make this a sticky!

Yep, I do the same with all my beats.  It makes placing drums easier and also allows to roll hi-hats nicely.
