'Pocketful of Soul' V-Drums Demo - Martin Rockport

[tjacobs3703]

I just bought a TD3 used from a private owner, that used the set for practice, and never used the mix in capabilites. I have the owners manual, and just purchased this set 2 days ago. I just love the sound you had created, and wanted to try it myself. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

[tjacobs3703]

MisterMR44 thats some real talent and rhythm right there, really enjoyed listening. I have a question for you. Are you using the mix in 1/8 cable from your microphone jack on your computer to your Roland, or are you using an ipod in your Aux?

Thanks, great jam.

[pdpboogie16]

i got the td12 ...your videos sound real good how DO YOU that ...and your a all round drummer ......check me out on Big Kris Roland TD12

[diegus012]

MisterMR44, your timing is incredible! Thanks for sharing!

[Maxmainstrim]

It's very nice groove and metrorithmics! Thank's!

[Eaddieo]

what's this song?????????

[corpmule]

Wow! Very nice! Dude you played that tight as hell. You were relaxed and fluid. Total control.

I'm considering and researching the purchase of an electronic drum set. Specifically a Roland. I followed a link to this video that you posted on a drum forum and was really surprised by your talent. This shows me what can be accomplished with the electronic drum sets.

First off.... SWEET. Awesome playin' man! Comin' from a Garibaldi fan here... Second... Where did you get this version of the song? I have the Oakland Zone album, but you're Pocketful of Soul track is longer than on the cd. Was it an itunes dl?

[MisterMR44]

@Eger24724 Thank you for your positive comments Eger24724...! The version of 'Pocketful Of Soul' that I'm playing along to is a completely drumless version that's on the CD that comes with David Garribaldi's 'The Code of Funk' book (highly recommended if you're a DG fan!). And yes, It's longer than the original mix... I guess to give you more to play along to! As far as I know, I don't think this version is available as a download... my guess is it's only available with the book.

[Eger24724]

@MisterMR44 AH! Of course! The drummer in one of the bands I play with has the book. It's cool to hear Larry's vocals on the extension... Once again, great work!

[Osteele]

Very impressed with your timing. Keep up the good work.

[RikJamezBich]

Look at this motherfunkin og playing traditional grip.

[blacksurvival4ever]

I don't think you can describe timing any better than this....True pocket accompanied with an undeniable funk feel.......Superb!

[gorizius]

man.. snare is original snare came with td9? it looks bigger? isnt td12's snare?

[MisterMR44]

@gorizius

The snare pad I use is a Roland PD-105 pad. It comes as standard with the TD-0KX kit.

[WhiteOoO]

love funk!

[TheMysticbeat]

It brings a smile on my face.

thanks for that.

[MisterMR44]

Looking forward to seeing your videos from your live show, Hank! Hope you have a good one!

[alexl1001]

Those drums sound amazing!

[awesa]

Need a piece of advice. I'm 30yo and been into music all my life. i play bass but have allways been into drums as well. Thinkin of gettin the new Td 4 set and takin up drummin. I'm very serious about it. I've played drums on a few occasions but i'm worried it might be to late to start up a new instrument. How many years have you been playin?

Regards.

[MisterMR44]

I know a few bass players that have taken up playing the drums and are really good drummers! Get the TD-4. You'll love it. And remember, it's never too late to start learning anything!

[awesa]

Thanx man. Knew you'd say that :-) V-drums it is, then :-)

P.S. I watch your vids every day.

[miketalbot4]

Great playing! Great feel!

[awesa]

Great playin. It took me a while to actually figure out the timing of the verses.But it looks like its 12/8 all the way. It's a fun groove to play (not that I could play it :-)). The sort of broken shuffle... Love it. Well done!

[willimidi]

VERY GOOD...

[juniperhill1970]

Beautiful! How do you like your kit so far?

Check out my TD-9 video to if you please :-)

Regards from Hank i Sweden

[MisterMR44]

Thanks! I think the TD-9KX is a great kit. I'm really enjoying it. Highly recommended!

[LouddrummerO]

Herl Pearl sent me here and glad he did! 5/5

[louse101]

Terrific stick technique, brilliant performance.

[antoniocosta1]

VERY GOOD :D

[LeopardJoy]

Good lord, Martin! You make it look so easy, and I know it is NOT! I love your style. HerlPearl sent me over...glad he did!

Cheers,

Joy

5*****, FAVEd, subbed, and put in Best Drummers Playlist :)

[llamedica]

Wow, you make this look so effortless...so much so I thought the video wasn't in snync but it was. Awesome pocket man.

[BenGlas411]

awesome set dude. pretty much my dream set as you can see what i have. have you looked at the surge symbals. very interesting

[MisterMR44]

I haven't seen the Alesis Surge cymbals in action... they do look interesting though! They look a little like the Hart cymbals.

[RockDebris]

You make this challenging piece seem easy. Conrats!

[Rashasha]

Martin Rockport has a pocket full of soul!!! Again, NICE playing!

[HerlPearl]

I like this big time. But tell me something... it sounds to me like a 6/8 signature but isn't there some "odd time" in there somewhere, something like 5/7 or something? I can't figure out how to count it :)

Great job, man

[MisterMR44]

Hi Herl! The entire song is in 12/8 and is transcribed as such in the book. So yes, you're correct, you can count it as a 6/8 signature and of course, any 6/8 ideas will work across it. I actually find it much easier to approach it if I count it in 4/4 playing 8th note triplets.

Hope that makes sense...!??

[HerlPearl]

Thanks it makes sense. I think I would count it like 4/4 and play triplets over it like you do. It would probably be the easiest way.

[hampisdrums]

Great style man and very smooth

congats !!

[MisterMR44]

Thanks!
