embarassing thread, all itt should be ashamed

Im new to producing music so sorry if this is a dumb question, but I was wondering how producers make their drumkits without sampling or using sample packs. Like I know how to make 808s by fucking with the asdr on synths, but like how does someone like say Metro Boomin make their own drumkits? Maschine or something? I know most big hip hop producers dont use analog drum machines or sample all their drums so what's the typical way to build your own drum kit?

I feel like 8 is a little high for his lyrics
What makes you give his lyrics a 2 and not just a 0?

I love madvillain as much as the next guy, but his flow is just standard. Not anything crazy, just consistant. He's a lyrical genius though

Also he did some very cool stuff with his voice on Jeffrey. Harambe is emotional af
