James Ross @ FutureMan - Syntax Drumitar - Pt.2# (Drummers Beware)

[hairandear]

He looks like he should be on the streets of NYC playing this. I would totally give him a dollar.

[lethbptl]

@hairandear ....I heard that...lol

[floydsproduce]

Why should drummers be aware. Roy IS a drummer. You don't have to hit drums with stick to be a drummer. It has to do with you having a head and heart for drum playing. How often have you heard a loud drummer with sticks, that really shouldn't be playing drums, he has no head for it. Well Roy has it.

[lethbptl]

@floydsproduce ...Future also plays kit, very well I might add.....

[MuurRoots]

@lethbptl Futureman is a multi-genius, conductor, writing music parts for every instrument in his Phi-harmonic Orchestra, and he is the FUNKIEST DRUMMER you will ever hear!!! ( Well, save the King Pretty Perdie!!)

[lethbptl]

@MuurRoots........,..COOL!!!

[lethbptl]

@MuurRoots.......COOL!!!

[tekani86]

[lethbptl]

Flecktones are awesome........

[mysticradio]

i wonder if future man uses zenddrim at all

[lethbptl]

not sure..........

[Changles]

I think he uses one to trigger samples

[lethbptl]

OK>>>>>>>

[Kelsin5]

@mysticradio He's in a lot of their promotional videos cause the Zendrum is basically the same technology (as he says in the video).

[lethbptl]

@Kelsin5 ....COOL!!!

[CabanaBananaBandana]

I like this "gadget" - instrument, thang! (Drumitar synthaxe and Zen Drum).

A friend who was a drumme, went of to war and was crippled by a bomb...this enables him to do his playing on this for the time being - wow what a great idea

[lethbptl]

That's Awesome.......I Wish your friend well!!!

[Falling7Rain]

thats a sweet story man

[lethbptl]

Thanks.........4 comment

[RAHMYULIS]

i like roy wooten cuz he is good at regular drums and synthaxe drumitar

[lethbptl]

TRUE!!!

[sirekul]

yeah.... nice invention, but nothing can replace the real drums

[lethbptl]

He sounds really good though!!!

[blooandwhite]

while i do agree, its not about replacing drums as much as expanding them with a different style of playing and sound. all depends on what you're going for :)

[lethbptl]

YESSA!!!

[petar1987]

when i first saw flecktones i was like "where's the drummer"

and it took me 10 days to find out they have this drumitar space stuff...

[lethbptl]

Hahahahaha!!!!

[AndiFlyersfan]

I feel he is cheating, play the drums the way it is meant to be. He´s got ten drum sticks in comparison to a "normal drummers" two. Cheating.

[lethbptl]

To me there is no such thing as cheating.....

Innovation!!!!

[blooandwhite]

i agree with leth, its not about fast you can play but how you can attain the sound you want for the music you enjoy

[lethbptl]

I Feel You!!!

[Falling7Rain]

right, but the thing is, if there are two people who play beautiful music, the one that plays faster is better, no?

[lethbptl]

Aight.....................

[frankvaccaro]

no beautiful is beautiful and slow or fast have nothing to fit into the equation

[lethbptl]

OK>>>>>>>>

[lethbptl]

COOL!!!

[DrShrinker]

RW is one bad mutha!

[lethbptl]

Yes Sir!!!

[EvanPSU]

futureman is absolutely incredible

[lethbptl]

Yes He Is.......

[AlCaldwell11]

Thanks AL!!! FutureMan is a visionary in the field of music and innovation...
