Dude, you rock!!! I hope I can play as good as you one of these days... How did you get started?

[HandsonicArt]

@vcruzjr66 thanks mate! i have been a hand percussionist for a long time before i got my roland, i know you could play one like me, just takes alot of time, pratice and dedication. willi g speed finger helped me start,, if you would like any tips on anything specific, please just ask. this is really easy drumkit stuff im doing here, nearly put me to sleep honestly but relaxing to play to. , im a really technical hand percussionist gone digital drummer pretty much. PM me if you need any help.

@HandsonicArt I just got my Handsonic 10!, as a new drummer with about a year of experience, can you recommend on the assignments of the sounds on the pads for drumming?

[HandsonicArt]

@vcruzjr66 Hey mate, yeah i can, though i play alot different now to what i did then..... the way i make it work like a drumkit is i get (hi-hat closed) and assign to middle circle pad, then my snare goes on the left bottom, bass drum on right bottom and an open hi-hat on my left mini pad above my snare.... cymbles are top left and right mini pads, the very top mini pad has a mid tom on the pad, and the top two 1/4 pads have hi and lo toms. Its the easiest way to emulate a drumkit.. i found.>>>

@vcruzjr66 The pad pressure curve i use is all top pads are set at LOUD2, Bass drum at LOUD2, and the rest i use LOUD1 setting for relaxed but expressive playing. I use the "Hand" style setting with the sensitivity on 10. with -2 position on bottom pads.... Hope this helps! stay tuned coz im going to upload a really expressive drum and guitar track very soon, and you will see how i play now and what im using and where..... So happy you bought one ;)
