Y’all should watch Stro Elliot live drumming on his Push for Jazzy Jeff on a Dilla tribute. Multiple different hats, kicks, snare rolls on different pads help create a live drum kit sound and swing!
JFilt, I'm a mouse clicker lol. Maybe in the future I'll start experimenting with hardware, but for now, moving the blocks around like Tetris has been working for me.
Definitely try hardware my dude. You get into a groove when your bangin' away on the pads or on keys... I feel like you connect with the music better that way.
@@BackToTheBoomBap no. I just got back into it after 6yrs. Got a mpkiii as a gift frome someone who knew how I was. Got software and I can verify the controller speeds up creativity and workflow a ton...taking notes and all tutorials on every aspect. I'll probably start uploading samples n stuff in June.
I’m disabled so I can only play one handed but I finger drum because I fell in love with dilla beats when I was a little this was super helpful thank you!
So, I suffer from my wrists and thumbs getting fatigued really easily after heavy mixing sessions. Lately I've been rocking with the regular Mouse on my dominant hand and then a track ball on the left of the keyboard. Between The Mouse and the phone and the tablets are dominant hands have too much to do. I really like the trackball mouse on the left-hand side so you can have more of a balanced approach physically. That's all. Make that magic!
Weapon of choice is MPC live 2. I started on DAWs years ago with Reason, but I definitely prefer pads over keys. The MPCs limitations spark creativity for me.
Nice. I'm old school too, brother. I prefer finger drumming as well. I feel like I can relay more feeling in the patterns that way. I also picked up on the note repeat process style from watching producer Zaytoven on the MPC. I have never really been a fan of drawing lines on the screen in the DAW. To each his/her own though. Just make good music. :) Peace
@@darrengordon-hill I'll tell you some cool shit you can do with the groove pool. For example, folks often forget that they can add groove and random fluctuations to any kind of MIDI information, not just drums.
@@Verysickbeats I love your sampling technique videos. But I would love for you to do it one on koala. It’s so much friendlier and it would help people just getting into beat making. Haha I know it’s a lot but it would be greatly appreciated
Here's a drum pattern exercise to help with finger drumming - ruclips.net/video/NYSEbzhXVgA/видео.html

@@VerysickbeatsYessir in my opinion nothing beats that live feel!

whatever works bro
@@DocHalliday 100% I've been using FL recently but koala / samplers give more of a third arm type feeling
@@DocHalliday yeah I probably will. I hope it's not too much of a learning curve.

I create ghost notes by building out a drum pattern and layering it with one or two drum breaks.

my pleasure
I'm a mouse clicker but I do essentially what you were demonstrating with setting things off grid. There's definitely a formula though
salute
I use reason as my DAW and I like to play my drums slightly behind like you demonstrated last to create swing. Thanks for sharing some knowledge.
my pleasure

Just gotta say man, that thumbnail is amazing
LOL thanks
I keep it old school. I just quantize the drums and snare(maybe) but leave the hats and other percussions unquantized.

Was so confused with the thumbnail! 😂 was like why tf Spider-Man holding him? Then I realised “SWING”! 🤣
Great video
Excellent!!!
Thank you very much!

I like the ghost notes effect

Great video! Appreciate the insight!
My pleasure!
Nice video. I always like to play it in.
yessir thanks
You make finger drumming look so easy
still working at it but here's an exercise to help ruclips.net/video/NYSEbzhXVgA/видео.html
@@Verysickbeats thanks
You're very good!
Thank you! Cheers!
I'm mostly a finger drummer haha. Just used to recording everything that way, although I do quantize as well. All depends on the sound I'm going for.
salute
Mpc one finger pad smasher here
salute
Fl studio got swing knobs too
salute
On sample this just hit remix and we can add a video side by side
have fun
Can you please make some videos on the akai software that’s the only thing I use
at the time of this response I don't really use akai software unfortunately
Hey Jay where is your 25 rap songs part one I have two but cant find the first one you did thanks good brother how can I get it send me a link Peace!
here ya go bit.ly/25piano
🥰🥰🥰

@@Verysickbeats salute 👋🔥
Bur what does fl studio does to the beat when you add swing. I want to know what is going on in the background.
FL Studio users feel free to chime in
Note repeat never sits right
Quantize loses all the pattern (everything snaps to 1, not 16th/32)
thanks for feedback
The thumbnail 😭😭
LOL
Woo face
LOL
Just use your fingers when programming for swing.

Where is "computer swing" in Ableton
It's called the "Groove Pool" in Ableton.
@@nihilgeist666 Thank you kindly

do u have any particular questions or topics?

Haha since it’s so cheap anyone could get into it
