Members SbrickwallS Posted June 23, 2015 Members Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hey guys, got a question for my fellow drummers as I'm poised to be in a new situation that I've not had to deal with before and would like to see what works best for those of you who are in this same scenario. I am in a new band that does not have a keyboardist but does require intro loops prior to a majority of the songs that are going to be played. Since I'm in the back it only makes sense for me to be in control of the loop player. My question for you drummers is A) is using a large iPad too hard to do correctly once your adrenalin has kicked in since you physically have to touch the correct loop or B) is spending the money for a machine with multiple pads to program and strike with your stick the only way to go to eliminate error? Just curious as to how some of you guys who have been in this situation before set yourself up for success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Opus Antics Posted July 1, 2015 Members Share Posted July 1, 2015 I'm not a drummer, but my drummer uses a machine with multiple programmable pads. Not only does it let him trigger loops but it gives him greater flexibility in the types of things he can do when drumming sound-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
