Very interesting. I started on guitar and then added bass. I did the BassBuzz course and locking in with the drum parts is covered quite a bit. There was also a specific lesson where the drum parts have been removed for a few beats and then come back. Guessing the video linked at the end is similar concept. This definitely helped with bass and guitar. Already, since recently starting to watch your videos here and on your website, I'm more conscious of the different drum parts when listening to music. A big thank you as it really helps to appreciate the music and the players more. I'm not playing much guitar or bass at the moment, but sure it will help once I'm back into it 🤘
Hi, Quest for Groove, I started watch your channe after I bought Ableton Push 2, but I was(and I am now) a guitarplayer from the first time, and fingerdrumming improved my guitar playing too. First - my timing became more precise and also I realised that fast attack on a guitar makes more powerful sound. So thank you :)
I feel similar things can happen in other situations as well. Playing the ukulele improved my insight of chord and it was also worth to my piano playing.
Great video man! I felt similar going from drums to bass guitar. Learning the bass really helped me become a better drummer! Hopefully I’ll see you upload again soon! Take it easy 👍
Thanks! Apparently the long version of the famous saying goes: "Jack of all trades, master of none, oftentimes better than master of one" :-) In this case, for me (and for you) it is very true. Working on a new video as we speak!
I believe you! I play the piano and one of my teachers actually recommended me to learn how to play the drums to improve timing in piano. I don't have the space and budget for an actual drum, plus I've always wanted to learn how to play on the pads so this is perfect for me.
Nice! The $500 electric one in blue and black that the viral super fast Spanish drummer gave away is awesome. I've been into drums more lately with a hot Korean chick playing tracks, him, and watching others. :3 Go 4 it! Connect 4! :3
I invested in this setup of two Blackmagic pocket 4k camera's (with chap Olympus lenses) and a Blackmagic ATEM mini pro. This is really nice setup because you can use it for livestreaming as well as recording. One button on the ATEM makes both cameras start. Very nice for lessons in which I show my hands and what I'm playing from two angles.
I’m thinking of getting the Arturia Keystep 37, but it does not come with drumpads, only velocity and aftertouch sensitive keys! Can I use keys only, instead of pads? 😔😢😢😅
@@TheQuestforGroove thanks so much! I wanted the keystep 37 because of the strum feature as well. But maybe the minilab 25 keys that comes with pads is the best option. But wanted 3 octaves lol back to the drawing board. Oxygen pro mini is also a great option, but its out of stock
Oh... that's a hard one. I personally liked the fact that I was "hitting" things better than "pressing". Also the delay of the piano key going down makes it a little less drummable. But of course you can learn to deal with that stuff. It's hard for me to tell you what to do since I wasn't a piano player...
My story's almost the opposite. I played drumset in high school then stopped for years. I played guitar all the time, but someone needed a drummer. I jumped in, not expecting much, but felt I actually got BETTER while not playing. It was a weird experience.
Started your free beginner course and finding it brilliant so far I’m using a sampler but I have noticed that it doesn’t have velocity sensitive pads would this be still ok to use until I get a sampler in the near future that is velocity sensitive ?, I also plan to subscribe to the quest for groove lessons soon to 😅
Hey that's very nice to hear! Yes you can use what you have to get started for sure. I'd say try not to hit the pads too hard, but besides that, just learning the movements and getting that feeling right of tapping out a beat with your dominant hand and then filling in the gaps in between with your other hand is completely fine on any controller. You can even just tap on the table or something even without a controller and that would already help you progress :-)
No real percussion so far except for shakers :-) But I have been drumming my rudiments on the table and the couch for a couple of years now so my guess is I can make the switch if I wanted to and play something that will sound at least in time
Mk3 is better from what I heard, but not tested myself. I've never played a Maschine mk2. Again, from what I hear other people say the mk2 is a pretty good controller so if you can get it for a good price it might be worth trying. The most important thing is that the person selling also gives you the software license. Without it it might become hard to use the device on a new computer in the future.
@@TheQuestforGroove Thanks. The seller named the low price - 135$. He also gives me the software. I am most worried about the sensitivity, but I read that it is the same as on mk 3. I think it's not a bad option to get back in line and start playing again. I think it's not a bad option to get back in line and start playing again after a long hiatus.
not so long ago Adam Rafferty (another of those guitarists with a strong timing: ruclips.net/video/E5uMEkKzOrs/видео.html ) made a video saying how playing the piano made him a better guitarist. And altough he didn't talk about rhythm, it makes sense that it works even in that direction. After all the piano is a percussion instrument. And since I've been started playing it this year (a digital piano), I've realized how playing on it instruments with a very brief sound (like say, the harpsichord) make me more aware of the timing compared to the normal piano sound which does not have the same fast decay.
Yeah this stuff is fascinating. I never would have thought things could work this way until it happened to me :-) I guess the most important thing is to stay curious and at least sometimes try new things. :-)
No, but I did watch 'real' drumming tutorials, like for example how tom play Stewart Copelands drum parts for The Police and I also watched a lot of stuff by Benny Greb about timing & groove. So, I have learned from drummers lot in a way. I cannot play a real kit at all though. Not even a little bit :-)

this video is gold. thank you man
Great stuff! I have really been enjoying your content and your course as well.

Good tips! Your video quality is great too, what camera do you shoot with?
I invested in this setup of two Blackmagic pocket 4k camera's (with chap Olympus lenses) and a Blackmagic ATEM mini pro.

For guitar timing I highly recommend Mattias IA Eklundh
His konnokol lessons are pretty amazing.

Can I use keys only, instead of pads? 😔😢😢😅
You probably can! I don't think it will be easy to learn from my videos though, since I explain everything on 4x4 pads.
@@TheQuestforGroove thanks so much! I wanted the keystep 37 because of the strum feature as well. But maybe the minilab 25 keys that comes with pads is the best option. But wanted 3 octaves lol back to the drawing board. Oxygen pro mini is also a great option, but its out of stock
Very inspiring. What is your view on learning fingerdrums on pads vs keyboard when you are a keyboardplayer to begin with?
Oh... that's a hard one. I personally liked the fact that I was "hitting" things better than "pressing". Also the delay of the piano key going down makes it a little less drummable. But of course you can learn to deal with that stuff. It's hard for me to tell you what to do since I wasn't a piano player...

Ever try cajon or darbuka?

Hello. Is it possible to buy maschine mk2? Is the sensitivity of the pads the same for mk2 and mk3?

@@KupiBass Yeah I think the mk2 if it's not worn out and including the software is not a bad deal!
@@TheQuestforGroove maybe comparing version mk 2 and mk 3 is a good idea for your video
First one is what i'm calling "increased resolution" of hearing timing.
Hey that's a great way to describe things!
