I studied basic and intermediate courses (and partly advanced course) and can definitely say that Dragons (and David Fingers Haynes) approach is the the only one fingerdrummers should use. Before this I practiced mirror layout and corresponding technique. The difference is immense! With approach used by Dragon, sound is much more close to real acoustic drums, mainly because of accents, most importantly on hi-hat. I advise anyone not to waist their time on other techniques, go straight with Dragons approach. Even if you can’t afford his courses, simply watch all free videos and get the essentials of his approach and stick to it.
mirror layout is boring. Sometimes I move the crashes down to free up the top 8 pads and use Machine software to play chords/chops while drumming its really fun!
Thanks so much for this awesome testimonial! I'm so glad to hear my lessons have helped you, and I'm really excited to share these new updates to the Foundation Course with you as well!
LOVE the live drum clips! 🤘
Thanks so much!
what do you think of Zendrum?
Hmm… interesting. Also would like to hear Dragon’s opinion
I've never used one personally, so I can't give a definitive answer to its quality. I think it's a super cool concept, and really the main question is: for playing a bunch of drum kit samples with your fingers, does it make more sense to have a guitar-like layout or a piano-like layout, like with most tabletop pad controllers?
I guess the answer is up to each individual, but I really like the tabletop layout because you can fly around the pads really fast, and easily reach all pads without moving your hands too much.
@@DragonFingerDrums thanks for your opinion.
Maschine Mikro is already a few years old... do you think it is better to wait for NI to release a new version or just get one right now? I want to take your lesson with a reliable gear :) Thanks!!
I would say it's totally worth it to go ahead and get a Maschine Mikro now! Even the previous MK2 is still great for finger drumming, and with the MK3 the only major change was making the pads larger, so the next version definitely won't make the MK3 obsolete for finger drumming. Go for it!
@@DragonFingerDrums Thanks so much! can't wait to become one of your new students...Cheers!
Why use acoustic drum sounds on the digital sample pads? Why not to use more interesting sounds?
I came from a background in acoustic drumming, and I discovered that I could map an entire drum kit onto the pads. So for me, finger drumming has always been a different way to play drum kit, using my fingers instead of playing physical drums with drum sticks. I've used other samples and electronic sounds in the past, but I personally enjoy playing drums on the pads more than anything else.
Besides this, I also feel that using pads to play a full drum kit can be a brand new way to make drumming accessible to more people. Right now, anyone who wants to play a drum kit needs plenty of money, space in their home, and the ability to make a LOT of noise. A lot of people can't do this, and using finger drumming solves all of these problems. So my personal focus is on playing and teaching finger drums like it's a brand new way to play a drum kit and be a drummer.
Of course, there are lots of great artists who play and teach the pads for chopping samples and making beats and performing electronic songs, which is great too; it's just a different use of the instrument. My personal focus and passion is on solo drumming. I hope this makes sense, and I definitely encourage you to follow your own personal passions and interests, whatever they are!
@@DragonFingerDrums Great! I understand. A matter of choice and taste, of course
Can i do it on sp404 mk2?
The main thing with the SP404 pads is that they aren't as sensitive as the Maschine, so it will be a little more difficult to get a realistic feel when playing. However, you still have 16 pads that are velocity-sensitive, so yes, you can absolutely use it to learn finger drumming with my courses!
Howcum no one sez "maschineh"? It's a German word, and it sounds much hipper than "machine." It puts you in that group of cognoscenti. Just my Zwei Pfennige...two cents. Just for yucks, I'm 64, a flute player and pianist (with a drum kit in the living room), and I just got me a FGDP-50. We'll see how it goes.
