Yeah that's true. But I am not really an amazing singer or guitarist to begin with. I am not a professional musician. I just do this for fun and I can tell you that it's real fun to play.

Give me a few days practice and I am sure I can get it.

It's gotten a lot better. Work has been super busy but I will try to put something up soon.

You can see the pricing on footdrums.com. Mine was $3200 I think. With inflation the price probably went up since I got mine though.

Gotta save up

Cam Cole, Jordan B. Wilson, and other similar musicians would disagree with you completely. This is a bit of a foolish comment if you ask me. Just playing a pre-recorded drum beat over your guitar playing is fucking lame... with this comment you're basically saying "just do it the easy way, don't challenge yourself and use more of your brain power". Why would you even think something like that? You basically just said "it's unnecessary to challenge yourself". Lol! Ridiculous. Is it also unnecessary for me to play piano and beatbox at the same time because I could just record the beatboxing separately and play that recording back alongside my piano playing? Lol! I'm not gonna be lazy like that and let technology do the work for me... I like a challenge. Besides, doing the percussion parts live (and I mean completely live, not recording them into a loop pedal or playing them back on a sequencer or backing track) means that every aspect of the music is completely live, giving me total musical freedom, a kind of freedom you don't get even with "live looping" technology. Seriously, comments like yours are plain ridiculous.

He just takes a long time to respond. Each one is custom built and take a long time to build. Mine took six months. I would hit him up on Facebook. There is a also a Farmers Footdrum group on Facebook and occasionally someone on there will want to sell one. I don't plan on selling mine.

@@judsonadair9218. It’s a great build. Revolutionary. Good job jamming on yours!

You buy it mostly in one peice. You have to add your own cymbals but that is pretty normal for any drum set.

Yeah it the most fun thing I own. Did you ever play in marching band as a kid? Learning stuff on this is kind like learning a marching band show. It’s part playing the instrument and part dance.

@@judsonadair9218 well since you asked, I played the Saxophone. But I dabbled in drums. I might order me an e drum set, and I kind of eyed a floordrum set. So, may I ask, you play Guitar at the same time, right? And that does not get a little hard?

@@judsonadair9218 complicated? Or exhausting?

@@MrSocko-bh1jb Yeah I play the guitar and sing at the same time. And it is an adjustment but the way play is actually very much like marching. The basic beat is right foot bass, left foot high/snare at the same time. So you are basically walk in beat. Adding fills and such are kind of like adding different steps in a dance. For me I always loved playing with a drummer in a rock band setting but I don’t get many opportunities to play with people anymore. So this let’s me play with a drummer at home by myself.

@@judsonadair9218 Yeah, I saw that. still... I just started playing again. For now, my horsekick and my drummachine/effectpedal/looper will do. Oh, and I just got a samjam for my acoustic guitar. I am busy for now, maybe someday... ;-)

I play barefoot most of the time. My feet are fairly large (size 12). With shoes on it can be hard to only hit what you want to hit. Plus it is just easier to feel your way around.

The issue is getting a real drummer to show up. Every band I have ever been in broke up because we lost drummers and couldn’t find a replacement. The last band I was in with a drummer finally called quits for good when the 3rd drummer in three years quit. I have been playing with the same bassist for over a decade but never played with the same drum for more then 18 months.

You probably wouldn't leave if the performer was great at it though. There are performers out there who play this thing quite well, probably more of them than you realize (probably more than even I realize, for that matter), and the ones I've heard are quite good. Cam Cole, for instance. If you like rock or blues music, then you might like Cam Cole. Plays this thing while playing guitar and singing at the same time, and he makes it all sound great. If there's anything about this that is shit, it's the performer. Not the instrument. Blame the performer instead of the instrument. Even shitty-sounding instruments can sound great when played by a great performer who knows how to make something great out of it.

@@justinnaramor6050 good points and all true. Just kitchy. Not my bag probably because I am a drummer. Hahaha.
