Members 1001gear Posted February 11, 2018 Members Share Posted February 11, 2018 Real drummers are overrated. Srsly, it seems to be the art of juggling high and low through the ups and downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Notes_Norton Posted February 12, 2018 Members Share Posted February 12, 2018 As a multi-instrumentalist who started on drums, I say emulate Hal Blaine, Bernard Purdie, John Bonham, Al Jackson, Jr., Benny Benjamin, Buddy Rich, Billy Cobham, Carmen Appice, Steve Gadd, Elvin Jones, and a few others of my favorites, mix it up, and see what comes out. It' helps if you learn your drum rudiments first. At least the first dozen or two. With modern pads, if you have developed a good ear by emulating your favorites, and if you have the talent, you can probably work up some very good beats. Now if you want to play drums for a living, I suggest a good kit, a good teacher, and forgiving neighbors. Insights and incites by Notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members techristian Posted February 14, 2018 Author Members Share Posted February 14, 2018 By the way in case anyone wondered...Techristian is referring to the "How to Bake Better Beats" tip, which is in the Tips section of craiganderton.com as the latest "Friday's Tip of the Week." Yep I have MIDI keyboards (which I really can't play in real time) Acoustic drums and Pintech nylon mesh pads. I only play the pads for TECHNO and POP stuff. 12 bar blues , country , funk and swing would be better done with real drums. I'm not a stranger to automation, by any means.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2sF0hONp6U Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
