V-Drums Recording - Rippingtons, Black Diamond

[72uServerRack]

I come back and watch this one about once a month good song and the groove you setup on the trigger kit is really good stuff.

[martinondrums]

@72uServerRack Thanks a bunch, glad you like it. I appreciate the feedback!

[johnjnesbit]

The Rippingtons are using this video on their Facebook Page for the title "Black Diamond", in their video collection. Now there's a plug !

[martinondrums]

@johnjnesbit I think that Facebook puts that stuff there for them, but maybe not. Either way, thanks for the tip!

[2ndGenBuck]

Very nice man! In my opinion, however, I feel that the rim effect on your snare doesn't really fit your groove in this piece. Just saying, but good job!

[juanbarros88]

@2ndGenBuck agree

[tamarache45]

this band is soo fucking awesome

nice joob dude

[AshSnook]

the floor tom is known as a timpani, not an explosion. :D

[martinondrums]

It is some kind of special effect, not a timpani though. Bad YouTube audio makes it a bit hard to hear, but it's far from a timpani in reality.

[wgattuso]

Its SEX music.lol.. I bang my g/f to shit like this lol..

[deftdrummer]

Hey where do you get tunes like this to jam to while you're drumming? Thanks

[pilotlicense]

I am definitely not using my TD-10 to that degree. I think it's time I learn. Nice job.

[playmusic4life]

very tight beats dude

[mstruz]

great use of the secondary rim sounds, they add so much to the beat

[CVINAZZA]

Exelente,sin nada de mas,justo,claro.Mis felicitaciones

[kansasdrummer]

this is who i want to be when i grow up

[mapquest68]

Martin you gave an awesome performance on this tune. It's very inspiring. Great job!

[Gershom123]

way cool man!!! that was insane... your technique is like flawless

[turfguy87]

nice job man-thats one of my fav Ripp songs

[ariesram74]

COOL -I have the TD-67 I think I'll program some wierd drum kit - never really experimented with making my own kits. So many choices. Another thing which is fun is to connect your module to an effects pedal - Zoom makes a good pedal with 40 effects.

[Bigjohnnywad]

AWESOME Martin...

[youngchoi1]

cool~~~

[hdr12345]

wow man, this was totally awesome. go jazz!

[n3vercool1337]

sounded like hip-hop

[PJTocci]

sweet...but crank the volume a bit.

[Jan1cee]

I love The Rippingtons and I think you are wonderful ..... well done Martin

[frenstep]

I've been watching your clips and they are all amazing. I love the high hat going all the time and those two triangles. Great work once again. I hope you do this as a career.

[macs10831]

Absolutely amazing! The Rippingtons are great! Russ Freeman Rocks!

[Blindbard14]

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kswcknmbr1]

cool man, i underestimated electric kits.

nice job.

[ibericdrummer]

As everyone else say.... BRAVO!

Awesome.

Where do you find play alongs you play on? I'd like having some for me. Thank you and see you soon.

[phattenors]

I'm also interested in play along tracks for groups like The Rippingtons. Please let us know. Awesome playing! I like the kit you set-up to play to this track, too.

[GameMisconduct2]

To put it simply, Awesome! Martin you're excellent, nice work.

[CardiffGiant79]

great job again.. love all your videos and the sounds you assign to the pads.. fit the music great!

[martinondrums]

Thank you!

[sethtriggs]

You've got some excellent chops man - well done! And I'm a Ripps fan. Well done!

[ROMAL007]

awesome, very nice music with it

[nthdesign]

Terrific drumming. I have my eye on a Roland TD-12. Are you left-handed? (I ask because you don't cross-over when playing the high-hat and snare.)

[pudut]

I LOVE U DRUMMER LOL

[nannernanner]

Sweet grooves, man. The ripps really are a good way to get enthused about music =)

[vadikent]

which kit is that?

[livinginoz]

It sounds very "Miami Vice"ish, I like it.

[demonoid2006]

Nice job. I enjoy watching. Please keep on jammin and posting more!  Thanks

[DrummerGrrrl]

Once again, I have to pick my jaw up off the floor. You have such a great, fluid style (I said that before about one of your other videos, sorry!) and I can't believe your mad skillz! Now, of course, I'm gonna have to check ALL your vids! I have no life...LOL

[escher2112]

Another great tune man! Great grooves and transitions... very impressed with the hi-hat work, very tight. Keep it up! You've inspired me to break into odd times with my V-kit. Great stuff!!

[WickedBoss]

Where this soundtrack came from ?

I wish i have this soundtrack to do the same on my VDrum...

[martinondrums]

As the title says, it's a song called Black Diamond by The Rippingtons. I EQ out most of the existing drums and when I record over it and bump my drums up in the mix, it completely masks it.

[Classic63EType]

Where can I ontain a set of electric drums like you are playing? I haven't played in over 30 years, but you have given me the final kick in the ass that I needed to get in gear and try again! Keep up the great work! Thanks, I really enjoyed your composition and style!

[martinondrums]

Thank you! Mine is a Roland TD-10 V-Drums Pro kit. It's 7 years old now. New ones use a TD-20 brain.
