Dude, I just discovered your channel this evening. I feel like this is what my life as a musician needed right now. Thanks for the quality videos/tutorials and shout-out for the mad chops!
Love the stankface! I have a deep appreciation for musicians' unintentional resting faces when the vibe is flowing thru em When its no longer an instrument, but an extension
Great work, such nice articulation! Almost sounds like a real drum kit! I've been catching up with a lot of your videos and am also a drummer and looking into some finger drumming for adding beats in loopy pro, to supplement my other music endeavors. I really want to emulate the sounds of real drums which is what has drawn me to your work. I see that you're suggesting drum emulating software, but I'm assuming this done on a Mac or PC platform. Is there a good ipad app you'd recommend that can do the same things? I have been searching for the best option but most people aren't coming from a drum background so it's hard to find what I'm looking for. I have little interest in prerecorded beats or patterns and am looking for something simple to get amazing realistic sounds with my midi controller (hence not just recording samples of my own drums) Thanks for any help you can offer!
Awesome, so glad to hear you're interested in learning realistic finger drumming! I don't know of any drum softwares on iPad, and I'm also not aware of any MIDI pad controllers with high-quality pads that work with a tablet. I normally use the Maschine (they have the best pads I've ever tried) and a drum emulator software on my laptop. It's worth doing some research though! I'm just not familiar with anything personally.
@@DragonFingerDrums thank you for the response! I will keep looking! Ipad is not something I ever thought I'd care about (I HATE apple), but I became a Heli pilot recently and needed it for navigation... Some apps are only available on this unfortunately... Anyways, I've had some free time lately and decided to take my guitar and drum skills into a looper and came across loopy pro, which is AMAZING! So now I'm trying to figure this out because I love the sound of real drums but can't move them around easily... Hence this search.... Anyways, I appreciate what you're sharing. Your finger drumming skills are 👌 Hopefully I'll figure this out and can share something cool in the next few months! You should check out loopy pro! It's worlds of fun if you ever want to expand beyond percussion! I love drums, but couldn't love without melodies as well!
Aaaahhh omg I just replied to another video of DFD's since I was asking the same question, and he didn't know but asked me to let him know what I fine! I'm also a Loopy Pro user that wants real acoustic drums And TODAY I got my answer! AudioLayer (on sale for $15, typically $30) is your app! Its got a LOT more features, but for drumming, it allows for both Velocity Layers and Round Robin (It also can import EXS files for Logic, which has sets already configured. I followed an easy tutorial on RUclips and had a free set downloaded, and up and running within 30min of downloading the app itself Basic concept is a SHIT ton of samples are recorded for a full drum set. Closed High Hat alone (for this example) could have hundreds of samples. Multiples taken from same distance and same velocity applied with the stick. It catches variants in human playing that are subconsciously (or consciously with specific ears) heard. Then softer samples, and softer For the closed hat, now you have recorded for BOTH velocity layers and Round Robin. Velocity Layers are at your controllers whim on how many are available, and therefore useable for your circumstance (if you're going with a sequencer or controller-less, more velocities the better). Round Robin gives you more sounds on a velocity So if I have 5 velocities recorded, and 5 recordings of each -- round robin will store those 5 same velocities, but play one and rotate to the next for the next hit Now you've got slightly different samples at the same velocity and mic distance allowing for micro imperfections to be untilized... But not constantly (or relying on digitally altering a sample to make it sound 'imperfect') Hyperfixation On New Hobby is GOOOOOO!! Hope something there helps My bad, on that wall o text
@uncleted9429 cool, thanks for the help! I'll check it out. I kind of solved most of that with Digistix 2, which is a dedicated drum app and sequencer. It also has layers and round Robin with an insane amount of sound tweaking possibilities to. The sequencer also works for levels, pan, reverb. Literally everything can be customized on every instrument (64 in a set) and even individual fires on a pad in the sequence. If you want to look beyond finger drumming sometimes and just built realistic sounding beats, this seems like the tool. You can have entire songs sequenced where the beat changes constantly for the different parts, and you can include fills etc. It is a little hard to learn because there's so many options, but I'm slowing getting it. Just takes a little trial and error. Cheers and thanks again. Loopy is so fun and the hardest part is not being overwhelmed! So many kinds of music I now want to make lol
Needlessly criticizing an unrelated topic when being shown sizable talent or practiced skill is typically an outward cover for envy I'm not saying that's how it is here, but might want to ask why you felt the need to criticize something he's probably mindlessly doing while deeply enjoying an activity

Dude what the fuck
It's pretty fucking magical, no?
What about the fake "guitar face"?
Huh?
You think it would be better with no facial expression?

Love it but instruments using real hz will always best technology and its 432 harmful crap
