  • this probably seems like a dumb question, but what kind of keyboard is that and what programs do you use. essentially, HOW DO YOU DO THAT??

  • @meashy52 It's not a dumb question..*LOL* It's an M-Audio KeyRig 49 MIDI keyboard. I use Reason to make my music compositions. The drums are from custom refills and samples. It took me many years of practice to get this comfortable with playing Key Drums the way I do. I still haven't mastered it, but I enjoy sharing what I do with people.

    Be Blessed,

  • hello, I am a new subscriber and fellow musician and must say that your finger drum skills are ridiculously good and yet so straight forward having watched them...

    Thank you so much for illustrating so perfectly the potential of creating original virtual drum tracks with such character and flare.

    I do have one question though please!

    Do you end up "quantizing" your performances or edit them note by note?

    Thanks again, great stuff!

  • @superjet2771 Well, for studio productions, I do quantize at times, but for the live Key Drums videos, I really don't quantize. There are a few things I edit, but about 99% is how it was actually played. Most of the time I end up removing an extra tom or crash that was hit while playing another key, but I usually work out the licks before I do the video so there's not much to clean up.

    Be Blessed,

    Dre'

  • Hey there Dre... Are you using EZ Drummer?

  • @dmandavidbeverly Actually all the music is programmed in Reason. I have some custom samples and well as samples from various different refills.

    Be Blessed,

    Dre'

  • @MusicManDre: I'm subscribing NOW. You need to get hired. Lmbo!! I would replace acoustics with you in a heartbeat because I want my ministry(church's music ministry)to be unique and I was searching for a key drum man. Wow!! You are extremely gifted.

  • wow.... just wow.... your like an alien or something ?

  • wow....

  • @musikchic They are, but I can't play them was what I meant lol.

  • @duplacite all those fills are possible on a drum set just fyi

  • that sounds like santana. i officialy love you

  • Pal you got skillsssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Doubt much of the extremely difficult fills are even feasible on a real drumkit. Makes me sometimes somewhat regret learning drums and not the piano lol.

  • Excellent key formation young man. ★★★★

    You could be "The King Of Key Drums" in my opinion. ...rev
