Jay Cactus – How to Make a Drill Beat
In the studio with Manchester-based drill producer Jay Cactus, building a beat from scratch and breaking down the process.
This was a fast, focused shoot with a small crew — just the essentials to keep it authentic and up close. I came on board as producer/director to shape the session into something more than a tutorial: a behind-the-scenes look at creativity in real time.
Jay takes us through his beat-making process using FLkey and FL Studio, building a hard-hitting drill beat in minutes. Crafted to be as inspiring as it is informative, this piece is all about flow, feel, and finding rhythm in simplicity.
