I've recently bought a MIDI for finger drumming no idea where to start and TAETRO releases the perfect video. Talk about timing

Been playing drums for 25 years and just getting into midi controllers and you broke this down perfectly for any beginners starting out. Well done.

[@sebastianvallejoperez9754]

Please do a series! From this basic to advanced. Love your videos and your music. Love from Ecuador

[@robertoarizmendi9207]

Agree

[@nn-fi]

Yes please

[@jorm1010]

would appreciate this too, guess u would be the first one to do it

[@mroland808]

good idea!

[@maceoproductions7584]

So you 're in the middle of the world.
How is it there

[@simongattner9047]

Over the last days i watched several videos from your channel because i bought the mpk mini 3 without even excactly knowing what i could do with that, but i knew it would improve my abilitys in creating my own music - long story short: Thanks for all the awesome videos that explain so much so easily to me! I am learning incredibly fast these days and it is really fun trying to recreate what you showed us.

[@dugnsand]

Awesome tutorial. I love that you don't talk down to us beginners. This really helps me get the basics down in my head. Thanks.

[@Taetro]

I try my best! glad I could help :)

[@jorgepanda2687]

Being a total beginner to the drums this is the best video I’ve watched to learn. Thank you.

[@Twilkins2386]

My first midi keyboard arrives tomorrow! Your videos inspired me to start music production! would love to see more beginner tutorials!

[@jasonwiggins8527]

This is a pretty good video to just learning to count in music which is good when you maybe just don't have that natural feeling of the beat. If you can count you can basically keep in time or rather on beat. Great beginners guide on counting with a splash of techniques. Knowing how to count is great no matter what instrument or pad you are on. Great video!

[@savannahchalmers3518]

I just got this for Christmas! Never been so excited in my whole life!

[@chillieverity]

7:25 when he goes "that's very basic" and we be like 😱

[@Yo-nq9ul]

6:10 too lol

[@modernmusicstudio303]

It seems like a lot of people won't break down the rythms like you do when it comes to finger-drumming. Great tutorial!

[@inlovewithkarate29]

Thank you, for going into detail. I learned so much in your video. I am looking forward to your videos.

[@pachiramen4605]

Thank you Taetro for your helpful video! This has convinced me to buy an MPK mini

[@drewsullivan8340]

You are an amazing illustrator of the art. Thank you man

[@lindadanison92]

i haven't gotten my hands on a midi key board, but im slowly learning how to play on an electric drum set. either way this video was super helpful in breaking down the basic beats and timing, i think it'll definitely help me out with drumming in general...

[@sparkle8028]

I've been finger drumming for a wee while now but never even considered using arpeggiators on drums... Thankyou! Your videos are great 👍

[@Taetro]

glad I could help! :)

[@ancientpersianempire]

I'm strictly boom bap but let me tell you this advice was extra helpful. Not to mention this gentleman is extra real I appreciate you. Big up from the record collecting community

[@Taetro]

I appreciate that

[@svperman_lod]

Thanks for the light guide Tae, been trying to learn finger drums for some time now.

[@DmvSmashTymeCeo1]

Good job I support you from day one ☝🏽 and I am having fun 🤩 with the mpk thanks 🙏🏽

[@OneStepToday]

This is a very imp topic i have never seen anyone teaching the basics of beat and drum. Thanks i will be watching it again later.

[@michaelhernandez4726]

finger drumming is that rhythm , great advice , just keep practicing . i just started and this helped on my counting.

[@ericburnett8163]

I love that there's all the amazing gear on the wall behind you but you're really showing it can all be done on something like the MPK Mini.

[@sonokisme]

Thx for sharing this stuff! More on finger drumming please!

[@krazywabbit]

Thank you for your channel and content. I’m a hobo (amateur) content creator looking to create my own background music for my videos. You helped in providing great info on the midi keyboard (Novation 25) and little tutorials like this help. I have a full size keyboard that I thought about selling but will keep and work on more. I also do bedroom dj’ng and this could be helpful too. Really great stuff!!

Great explanation. I’ve been wondering what the ‘and’ part was about. Thank you.

[@ArlenGriswold]

Thanks 🙏

[@Flo-wr8oh]

Very nice video Taetro thanks you very much, your finger drum is incredible... The subdivision in 1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 is very hard at the beginning...

[@TBDubbs]

Thumbs up and subbing! I have always wanted to learn how to make music like this - and besides a recorder that I couldn't wrap my head around in 5th grade I have no music experience whatsoever lol

[@itsmanuelrc]

Well done explaining the basic. Really helpful

[@bencee7344]

could you do a video on how to play keys? or a series on how to play your midi and how to live loop? that would be so helpful

[@ivanagozze2536]

thank you!!

[@slimslimaproductions]

God bless u for this video

AWESOME I CANT WAIT IM SO STOKED FOR YOU. YOU GOT THIS

[@alainsellier7751]

Thanks, Great Tutorial!

[@Taetro]

glad I could help!

[@lorenzohot5234]

This was cool

[@atruerock8020]

dude this was awesome! idk though if my internet was separating your audio from your video and making your words fall off sync. but nonetheless i endured the .2 second offset and your content as well. many people needed this video for sure. its just the delay that stuck out to me. if you pause it randomly you'll here some words and sounds pronounced before the mouth movement does it. just struck me odd and hadn't seen any comments about it is why i say it.

[@timmyiscancer8777]

Bought one today! Hopefully worth it

[@williamdelahunty3677]

Really helpful, thank you.

[@Taetro]

Glad it was helpful!
