Yea, I think that's gonna be my strong suit in experimenting with chiptune music for a while. I understand enough about it from youtubers like Levi Niha to probably put together a decent drum beat (like I understand how to get a good balance of variation and consistency throughout a beat and I know what hihats are and stuff) but I have no idea what the definition of the word chord is. (BTW I'm gonna look stuff like that up on my own time so i don't forget, you don't gotta tell me)

i enjoy telling  you, chord definition is simple
it's a group of notes played at the same time, and it sounds nice

Also for a drum beat to be good, it needs to be there to support the melody, but not get in the way. If you're going to use little taps like from the hi-hat, you gotta make sure the hi-hat is turned almost all the way down, so that the ring (from the hi-hat) isn't disturbing to the music. I also get really annoyed especially in some types of EDM, when people spam the snare for the bass drop, because A. It's overused and B. I want to hear a good melodic drop, not a cheap lead-in by a drum.
