@ludwigdrummer521 Emabarrising how because you can't do it? I will take you on anytime anywhere and will WIPE THE FLOOR WITH YOU! Just because someone does not go at 100 miles an hour like you think they should for a solo means nothing! So I suck but I was at E3 and had hundreds of people watching exactly what I was doing and more when Calin and I played together. So in the words of DX SUCK IT!
@CenasCorner Hmmm, not quite sure where to start with this but here we go. I realize that speed does not make a good drummer, learned that when i was like 8. A real drummer would have some sort of structure to their solo, have some sort of rudiment in there, play with dynamics, or actually groove. I see none of these things in here. And people were at E3 to watch you play a GAME, not attemp to play "real" drums.
@ludwigdrummer521 How VERY Wrong you are! First know what you are talking about BEFORE you run your trap!! First of all Roadie who I was with was there to not only show off gear for Rock Band but also their REAL GEAR!! Can you not see two stages one hooked up with live drums and another for a game? Second ever hear of a warm up? I think I have been playing longer than you and have been in many bands and on many records! Just so happens I was warming up for a couple of things we were set to do
@ludwigdrummer521 for the morning and it happened to get recorded. So I put it up here as a solo. SO before you wish to criticize someone one, first of all know who the you are talking to! Second search this channel for other things I have done at E3 and otherwise with me playing drums they are there! Third I would not get on my high horse if I were you because your band is not even that good and neither is your drumming style to be honest! Like I said anytime any place and if you think that
@ludwigdrummer521 Drumming is all about Dynamics all the time and if you do not know that every time a drummer picks up a stick somehow somewhere he is playing some king of a rudiment, then you have ALOT to learn! I think you should try telling this to someone who has no experience because they may care about what you think as for me I don't! Over 13,000 views and you are the only complaint? I wonder who sucks and who has it wrong!
@ludwigdrummer521 Oh yeah one more thing since you brought up a game. When it comes to Rock Band it has a ton of fundamentals when it comes to drums. Up until the keyboard the drums were the most realistic instrument because you are really playing patterns. Sure it is still a game but you are drumming for real. Top drummers all over the world has made this same statement and since you want to talk about dynamics, if you ever watch any of the videos I put up of Rock Band. you will see I play
@ludwigdrummer521 accents and dynamics although the game does not recognize it because I am a veteran drummer for over 30 years and this is how I play. If you were any kind of drummer worth his salt, you would know that everything i just said about Rock Band is true! Pro mode just enhances drums and they are the most realistic in a game period! I am done with this conversation I have given you enough of my time!
haha That was fun to listen to, Cena. :) I've actually been looking at this upgrade kit of theirs that includes the DP-500 because I'd like to open up better/full functionality on my Ion for rock band and all that, but also so that i'll be able to practice quietly even late at night while most of the family is asleep. (I HAVE an acoustic, but you know... noise) I'm getting ready to start taking lessons and REALLY need to be able to work on my left side as much as possible. Keep drumming, man. :D
So this is the new ION upgraded kit?I realy want this kit since I wanna play rockaband and real drums.. (note: i dont play real drums) And it sounds great IN THIS VIDEO. What i mean is that can I trust you? I see you as just a salesman who attempts to sell stuff.. so.. You get my drift.. I mean no offence or anything! You seem like a nice guy,realy. But im abit confused
Is the sound from this kit only from the IONupgraded brain? or did u use anything like a software.. like EZDrummer?
@TheLJCompany First of all I recent the implication that I am "just a salesman" I am not selling you anything! If you look up my record I think you will find quickly that I am very credible! I have been doing this for 2 years as of March 24th and I am still ranked and considered as the #1 Rhythm Game Reviewer world wide! That title comes from companies such as Harmonix and other companies. If you look at me as just a salesman than you TOTALLY do not get or understand ANYTHING I do. I have saved
Tons of people money which is my overall goal. I am partners with people I am partners with because of my honesty and credibility nothing more or less! I have also lost relationships because I have stated that the product was no good. GoodWoodMods is one company! So if I was a "Salesman" I would make sure you buy everything because this means I am getting a ton of money from somewhere! I do this for 100% free! I have sponsors but ini NO WAY am I ever paid for anything I say or do in a review!
Now that we have cleared that up. There is nothing else used in what you hear. This is just the brain that is plugged into a sound system. There is no EQ of any kind on it. If there were we could have made the bass sound better because we were in such a large place it lost some of the bassiness that EQ would have helped. This is the brain in it's pure form as it is out of the box. Rather or not you trust me is completely up to you. I feel I have proved my motives and credibility over 2 years.
@TheLJCompany if you are going to play real drums, then just get a real kit. Its a ton better in my opinion because you just dont get the same feel out of an electronic kit. I know what i am talking about because i have an ion set and a real set. If i were you, i would get the regular rock band set because sooner or later you will get tired of the game, and your ion will be collecting dust as mine is now. Trust me, real drums may be more expensive but its WAY better in the end run.
@TreCoolness If you believe that nonsense you just wrote, then you have A LOT to learn about drums! 34 years of experience talking here. An electric set does not make you able to play drums. So if you think it is easier than great drummers like Neil Peart is not really good then! Over half of drummers including Neil uses some form of electronics now. You do not believe me? Just listen to your favorite band!!
For a little bit I actually doubted you, Cena. I've only seen a few of your ACTUAL in-game vids & I thought, "Why am I taking advice from someone who isn't that good at drumming?" This just made me rethink what I originally thought.
On a positive note: good solo, man! It was a pretty slow beat, but your tom work was great!
You should hook up a drum module to your set & record another one.
Thanks man. I plan on it. I am going to hook my roland up to my Ion so everyone can see you really can use it as a real kit and it is pretty good. I think I am going to do my take on Caught up by Usher.
whoever says he is garbage or bad really should think about what there going to say before they say it. If you dont play the instrument, dont make stupid comments about something you know nothing about, seriously. Not only was it a good solo, but it was informational in the sense that he took a straight beat and turned it into a solo.
i love drums... i dont know how to play drums very well but i love seeing people playing drums. but whenever you see a drum solo it is always a guy hitting the drums randomly as fast as he can. but i like a drum solo where there's some rhythm to it... i liked your solo because of that! finding solos like that is not easy. keep up the good work!
Start listening to progressive rock, bands like Porcupine Tree or Dream Theater. Aaron Spears is also a good drummer, but I catch your point. Most of the solos are just fast beats and I loved this solo to ;)
I was using the Ion Drum Rocker. The components being the kick drum,the drum brain and the third cymbal that turned it into a real kit is the Roadie Upgrade kit. All of these things can be found at Rock Band Parts.
This is now what has been called limb independence. You have to people to do four different things at once. Your four limbs are always doing something different in drumming. The only way to get it where you can do beats like this is to practice.
Yes you can. If you are going to use two of the pedals that came with the Ion, then you can use a Roadie coupler or a twin rocker. If you are going to use The Roadie Kick Rocker (which I am using in the video) or something like a Roland Kd-8, you can just use a double bass pedal as the surface is big enough for both beaters.
Only two things to say to you about your comment. #1 No one has a gun forcing you to watch so move on! And #2 hundreds of people at E3 did not think it was boring. As a matter of fact people wanted to buy what I was playing on. So you can do better? We could always have a drum duel! I mean on Real Drums that is!!
no the drumsticks dont have periferal vision and once she put the camera in front of cena the sticks saw you watching it andtried to escape but sadly only one was succesful
2:00 it starts gettin funky.
