Rock to Funk 1 (HD Version)

Starting with the most basic of rock beats, we'll make a couple of adjustments to make it sound funkier. Inspired by Harvey Mason's performance on Herbie Hancock's Chameleon. You can download and practice against a 7 minute version that is available on iTunes

uh please awnser do electric drum sets need to download software to a pc

[ScoopDeville04]

No, none that I know of. If facts kits of the generation I'm using in this video don't even have PC connectivity other than through MIDI. All electronic drum brains that I have seen have all the sounds built-in and there is no need for a PC.

don't forget the high hat accents!

[ScoopDeville04]

Which I'm happy to admit (to the joy of the e drum bashers out there) is much harder to do and enjoy on a rubber pad than on a real set of good hi-hats. (Of course others have pointed out that Roland has upgraded the hi-hats since I bought my kit).

cool you did the video in HD, the sound is brilliant!

but the quality of the video itself sucks balls!!!

try using a new camera not your one from 1986 and then call it HD :D

[ScoopDeville04]

Good point. What I really meant by HD was the aspect ratio and the fact that youtube had a higher resolution available. But you send me a new HD camera and I'll be happy to rerecord some of these. :-)

I find funk to kind of come naturally, like a groove.
