You can't buy talent. But you can try. This blog is about music, technology, guitars, synths, keyboard, amps, recording, computers, cubase, logic, sonar, steinberg, roland, korg, fender, gibson, boss.
Here is a clip of someone who calls himself "the Amazing David "Fingers" Haynes" drumming on an old and very battered Alesis HR-16B drum machine (triggering sounds from a Yamaha DTExpress). It's not quite this, but I love battered old plastic gear.
i think that is extremely cool, the fills were complete and complex, fills between the bass, snare and toms were awesome and showed alot of independence between those drums too....bravo
I know how awesome it feels to play along (badly) with the drums in "Block Rockin' Beats" on the standard GM layout, so to do something like that must be orgasmic!
I actually think thats better than the Akai kid. If you're a drummer, you know the kind of finnesse it takes to pull of what he's doing on an acoustic kit. The Akai kid is just just playing some swung metal beat of some sort. Pales in comparison to this.
This is cool too: http://scratchmagazine.com/features/0806.Namm/fx1.html
Dude is running this device called a ZenDrum through a Muse Receptor, triggering sounds from Fxpansion's BFD. Very cool.
There's a better clip of an Asian guy playing "rock and roll", but this one's great too. Makes you want to run out and buy one of these baby's right away.
I must admit I fast forwarded a bit.
ReplyDeleteBet his girlfriend really likes it.
I was about to be impressed for a second, and then I realized he wasnt playing the bassline.
ReplyDeleteeveryone is a hater! geez.

ReplyDeleteonly someone who has never played drums and never played with a drum machine would think that wasn't impressive.

the real question is if you can rent him for a while :)
ReplyDeleteHeh, I like how he sets it up in a snare stand... Kinda like plugging in a barbie guitar to a half stack.
ReplyDeleteCool clip... To quote Mike Nesmith, "Go magic fingers!"
its amazing that hes got an hr16 with the buttons still working properly
ReplyDeleteI am willing to bet those are some magical fingers with plenty of talent!
ReplyDeleteJust goes to show that you don't need expensive gear to rock, just lots of practice and creativity.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this one:

ReplyDeleteWhat about the "this is rock and roll" guy playing the solo on the keyboard he's demonstrating? Anyone have that clip?

Thanks, but I was talking about the Asian guy - he was soloing for at least a minute. I'll keep looking.
ReplyDeletehe is very cold but he is not doing the bass.
