Just wanted to update y’all that I’ve officially met my kiddos and we’ve started drumming and that they’re the best class  I apologize for my prejudice as I had just assumed 35 drummers would be uh, a lot in many ways lmao but in actuality they are chill af, bright, and quick learners.We’ve been mostly on pads so far but today we pulled out the toms only from the sets and talked about playing “real” drums and pretty much every single kid left class today going “I love this class” even though we played all of two notes before having to pack up haha

Is there a guide for setting up the AKAI Pro MPD226 with Logic Pro 10? I found this https://www.akaipro.com/amfile/file/download/file/598/product/61/ but it looks like its for a much earlier version of Logic Pro and so it didn't help me. I am very brand new to Logic Pro, and using drum pads. So I need someone who can help walk me through this like I am a dumb baby. [edit] Or I can probably just make a track in the included software and import into logic pro? Maybe I shouldnt figure out complicated hardware that I am brand new to at 1am.

Triggered Speaking of triggering, I love this video of Neil Peart at a clinic in 1992. Good example of what top electronic drum technology was like, but that retro sound is back. I'd love to have this setup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DXnd-B-t6s&t=1911s I wonder how many of those pads he went through, based on how hard he hits. The original Simmons drums had flaw where if you consecutively hit the pad in dead center, the force of stick impacts would break an electronic component.

Heel up. Heel way up. I'd like to try that sometime but I'm 6'2 and I don't think my throne even goes up that high. Ah well, I've been working on getting more movement out of my ankle anyway but it still feels pretty awkward at higher speeds.

I am very brand new to Logic Pro, and using drum pads. So I need someone who can help walk me through this like I am a dumb baby. I have an AKAI MPC 1000 and I have just spent some fun times setting things up for finger drumming in Ableton Live. The basics should be applicable to your situation too, because in the end the AKAI is a pad MIDI controller and Live/Logic will receive the MIDI and play some nice drum sounds. First on the AKAI side, find out what MIDI the pads are sending. For the MPC1000, the first 16 pads are chromatic starting from C1 (note 36). You will want to set up your drum kit or sampler to correspond to that. (If you don't have software for monitoring MIDI messages then now is the time to find some for your OS) Second, the layout part is kind of important for finger drumming I guess. Just like on a traditional drum kit you want your bass drums, snares and all that to be in a regular place so you can practice and build up muscle memory. Here is a tutorial that shows a nice starting layout for pads: https://questforgroove.com/basic-finger-drumming-technique-pad-layout/ In Ableton Live, I just set up some drum racks to receive my pad messages and I did some repitching of incoming MIDI so that I could select my preferred sounds, but this part is not helpful for you. For Logic Pro X I would honestly just go through some YouTube tutorials that talk about this, it should be way way way way more up to date than any documentation on the AKAI website. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8zL4rl3ahQ

I've heard a couple of insanely fast metal drummers say they swear by a heel-down technique and I literally cannot wrap my head around it. In the past when I was really drumming, I could not achieve any stamina at speed even when heel up, but down was unquestionably slower. What are these warlocks doing?

Weird specific question but any hi hat cymbals I could buy either 1) easily in bulk or 2) easily off Amazon? That don’t suck rear end lol. We are playing the ones that came with our sets though so literally anything would be an improvement.

DW confirms they've sold to Roland today. https://www.dwdrums.com/roland https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Companies/We-got-the-beat-Roland-buys-Drum-Workshop-in-65m-deal For newer drummers this is essentially the world's most high end electronic drum maker buyer the worlds most high end acoustic drum maker. All the major drum makers have a top shelf model of some sort but for DW its their main focus. Their more affordable stuff is under different badges. I'm not much of an e-drummer but many pros had already been combining their products; DW even made shells that you could slide the Roland drums into so they would all match. Rumor was DW was close to releasing their own e-drum offerings and Roland was proactively defending their throne. This will also open up more market access in Japan for DW but actual sales will need to be fought for; Japan is dominated by their own makers, specifically Yamaha. I'm told Pearl leads in traditional percussion like kodo drums but I don't know enough to verify that. DWs drums are great, I just can't afford them. I have one of their high hat stands though and its fantastic; the adjustable spring tension is a must have for me now and cant imagine going without it. The two leg style as well is such a space saver.

I saw that today and I had no idea that Roland also owns Gretsch Drums and LP. DW as always been high end and (afaik) never sold kits, just individual drums. They are high quality and expensive as hell though. I have been using a DW 5000 double pedal for over 20 years (replaced them 3 times over decades) and love their hardware. Pearl does a lot with marching bands and drum corps so I think they're safe there. They always tried to get into electronics drums, even going back to the 80s, but could never really come up with anything that was successful.

I didn't know they made rototoms that big. Kind of a bizarre kit that probably doesn't sound very good, but eh, that's that guy's baby. "You gotta find your like... gigantic drum set, man." Reminds me how I was thinking the other day about the weird popularity of concert toms (toms without resonant heads) in the 1970s. Why? Who thought that sounded good, was it around the same time that every recording engineer was going nuts with close mics and nothing else? Do they bleed or resonate less live, or something? Don't get me wrong, concert toms can sound cool in certain applications but you need real toms with real reso heads.

I saw them open for jack white and I absolutely can not wrap my pasty western musical theory brain around these rhythms, let alone play something like this on a kit. Eventually I will figure it out and it will make me stronger. Their live energy was really good too.

I'm not even sure if there's a time signature. As soon as I think I've got it the drummer will come in slightly behind the beat or add an extra 16th rest and I loose it again.

Thank you for posting all of that. I can read time signatures well but was never good at hearing the more complex ones. In addition to all studio stuff, Genesis had a session one day, someone hit a button and a drum at the same time and it changed everything https://www.musicradar.com/features/how-genesis-peter-gabriel-and-phil-collins-stumbled-upon-the-80s-gated-reverb-drum-sound +1 for Wrecking Crew and this is a perfect companion to it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auGUm2r0cLs Bonzo fucked around with this message at 22:01 on Oct 18, 2022 |

I'm looking at Ableton lite as my primary DAW and I want a controller pad to pair with it. I'm interested in finger drumming, step sequencing, and sampling. I have some vst packs that I'm hoping I can map some Kvlt drums vsts from Ugritone to the controller as well. The Push 2 looks cool but it's a tad expensive. Any other recommendations that won't break the bank?

I remember getting my first used drum set as a kid and noticing the heads had deep dents in them. Eventually I realized whoever the previous owner was must have literally been stabbing the heads with a stick to cause them.  I still remember how awful that kit sounded with those lovely untuned stock heads.

lovely stock heads is a right of passage for every drummer playing on someone else's drum set that isn't a drummer. If you keep tightening them, they'll eventually start to sound good, right? lovely stock heads often follow the phrase "oh we have a kit here you can use" *shudders* I Might Be Adam fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Dec 15, 2022 |
