Kaoss Pad Vs. Drum Set: Live Looping, and Effects

I finally made a video showcasing some of the ways I like to utilize the Korg Kaoss Pad KP3 with live drums. I discuss making Live Loops on the fly, show you some of my favorite effects, and ways I use the Kaoss Pad as a tool for production, and Inspiration.

[@orpheuscreativeco9236]

This is by far the most extensive and indepth demo of the KP3 that I've seen yet 😳 Thank you so much for making and sharing this! ✌️🎶

[@toonvank6165]

Thanks for the awesome video! Not only informative on the ins-and-outs of the KP3, but outright inspirational. Looks like a lot of fun!

[@Sadiquecat]

Wrote some timestamps if one wants to skim though :
15:48
20:10 Introduces some funky stuff
24:36 Making drums chug
33:06 Things have become experimental
37:10 Experimental forest with UFO's , bonus cat screaming at 37:30
39:15 Wet melodic drum playing on modem.
Thanks for all this :D Had a blast !

Finally an outlet for all those polyrhythms dancing in my head. Thanks for the upload!

[@GunnarOlsenMusic]

Nice! ✌️✌️

[@benchampion3768]

Nice one👍🏻 and great to see a KP3 video showcasing some of the deeper functions rather than just the FX.

[@GunnarOlsenMusic]

Cheers man! It’s a great tool

[@RobAbfallDrums]

Awesome!!!! This video is so cool, and when you really get in to it and start playing drums and adding more layers .....fantastic!

[@hallucinogen0189]

man the flavor u bring in the expression of ur drumplaying is a real fkn treat and a half!

[@GunnarOlsenMusic]

Hey thanks for watching!

[@oldowl4290]

Thanks so much for posting this. I've had this unit for years and am just getting back into drumming after a long hiatus. Definitely want to use it, they are great.

[@GunnarOlsenMusic]

Nice one!

[@presentmomentmusic2023]

Great video! Very informative and inspiring!

[@SOLOTONE]

Man you blew me away when I saw you with Puscifer in Grand Rapids recently. I love all my KORG equipment so this fired me up, have not played with it yet and can’t wait to try it out sometime!

[@SOLOTONE]

I’ve watched this several times in the past few days and just ordered that Kaoss pad yesterday. So excited to bring something new into my live drum loop! 29:55 “Let’s get weird!” Man I cannot wait to utilize this thing.

[@theamazingboostercobrastri5273]

That kaoss pad is bad assery!!! I need that! Gunnar your badass too! Thanks for the upload.

[@GunnarOlsenMusic]

Cheers!!

[@maggsvamp]

Ilan Rubin should watch this for NIN

[@thebmxband1t]

really kool vid. i had never thunk of using kp3 in this way. i found mine remembers the 'hold' buttons setting even when you change from saved presets in the top bar. that should help a bit as you skip around them if you find that sweet spot to start with. 👍👍👍👍😁

[@drewbronig]

Thanks dude! I always thought they'd be too complex for what I wanna do with them, this video is rad

[@GunnarOlsenMusic]

Cheers man!

[@stevenmccaskeycomedy]

I unfortunately don’t have access to a full kit but I have the kp3 and I have a drumbrute impact. I’m hoping a lot of the techniques you are demonstrating here I can replicate but a little more analog sounding.
Awesome video!

[@ShravanSamsi]

This is innssaaanneeeee !!!! You’re awesome dude !! Thanks for sharing this !! Just watched Mark de Clive using 2 of these !!! 😂🤣😂🤣 this is just nuttzzzz !!! Way to go man !!! 💥⚡️💥⚡️

[@ShravanSamsi]

Have you tried the Kaoss pad 4 ?

[@tobiaswinter1358]

Thanks for the insights!

[@GunnarOlsenMusic]

Thanks for watching!

[@No-mart]

Sounds awesome. What’s that metal fx ring your’e using on the Q drum brass snare?

[@pongtrometer]

STILLL GOES HARD

[@teddnagurski5583]

This would be cool with an electronic kit.

[@StRiCtLyAlBeRt]

Dope.

[@MicheleZuccarelliGennasi]

Hey Gunnar, great job! Is it the KP3+ or the KP3?

[@GunnarOlsenMusic]

Hmm I got it in 2008 or so, whichever was around back then.

[@GG-ik6it]

[@thezogs95]

[@robhussen]

Gunnar Great man! I have the kaospadd3 how did you do the connections?

[@GunnarOlsenMusic]

Yamaha EAD 10. I do a stereo 1/4” out into the stereo RCA on the Kaoss

[@Bucketheadland1]

[@GunnarOlsenMusic]

[@antkn33]

Oh great. I need one of these fuckin things now. 😂

[@RobAbfallDrums]

[@GunnarOlsenMusic]

No it’s a 12x5” brass snare made by Q Drums. ✌️

[@RobAbfallDrums]
