@derknip it's not a launch pad at all, a Launch Pad is a specific product made by Novation, which is used for triggering samples and the such. I think Jamie uses an Akai MPC.
she is amazingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg the three of themmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm wowowowowowowowo
@phillipotato it's not a drum machine, because a drum machine is something you use to do the drumming for you. he's doing the tempo, drumming, and etc real time, using the same skills. it's just a drum pad he's doing it on.
@SuperiFox well then it's a little disappointing it's a drum pad and not real drums. Simply because of the fact its so much less impressive, as it's quite and intricate drum beat.
And while, yes, using a drum pad obviously requires the same skills when it comes to rhythmic ability and being able to maintain tempo; you've got 10 fingers. Granted, you can't use them all, it still requires entirely different coordination skills to playing an actual drum kit.
@phillipotato Yeah good point... anyways i think the electronic drum sound really fits the song better than real drums would. To me, it feels like an indie rock song mixed heavily with dubstep.
its the bizz!
