D.I.Y. Beats (95 BPM)

There is a grid layout of 13 sample pads - a mixture of percussion sounds and instrumental loops. Pupils can listen to an audio explanation of how to build a beat from scratch, adding additional sounds in new layers. They then freely record their own extended textures to a metronome beat at 95 BPM. They can mute the different layers in and out if they wish as the recording plays back.
