Great information and ideas. And great drumming! I’ve been a MPC user for more than 10 years but never practiced finger drumming. I’ve also always, just out of habit, set up my drums in the same order. Actually in a very counter intuitive way to actually play it live 😆 I realized this today and decided to check what CZcams “had to say about it” and came across your channel. Thanks for the inspiration. *subscribed*
I just found this and it helped out my pad placement alot. The pads were double triggering before I tried this technique. I thought it was just my machine. The pad preparation is essential. I appreciate you, thanks!
It’s great that you made a Finger Drumming Tutorial. No one does it. They just record themselves doing the performance. Interesting for sure. I have an MPC One and don’t even use it because I can’t get the information and knowledge to use it. I’ve had it for a year and still in the box. Hopefully I’ll get inspiration to take it out and get jiggy with it. 😂
No prob! I think it’s the best way to learn anyway, just dive in. I’m not as averse to manuals as Dilla was lol but I do think it’s such an adaptable device that everyone uses it a little bit differently.
skillz dude! curious about the pro/cons of different placements. i see some peeps setting their kick, snare, HH in a “V” pattern (HH at top of V and kick at bottom). I’m figuring out what works for me. thanks for the vids, and all the musical reference examples of bands in your playing. knowledge!
Totally! Yeah it is really personal preference, and a lot has to do with what you want to do. I’m usually not triggering my samples when I finger drum, just drumming to my beat, but some guys (check out my buddy @DokBrass) are playing the melodies on the top half and drums on bottom half (or some variation). I could see how then you would want to be more set up to drum with one hand, play out melody with the other. For me I was a drummer first so that’s where my heads at lol. Thank you so much for the feedback man, it is hugely appreciated. 🙏
Absolutely. I meant to start sooner, but I unfortunately had some personal drama the last week or two thats just now clearing up. My plan was to be dropping several drum loops every other week, but I definitely can do the kits as well if theres an interest. I'm going to work on getting a first batch out this week. Much appreciated!
You know I’m gonna have to check. I honestly am terrible about saving my presets, but as a flip side it helps me get really fast at navigating and sound designing how I want on a case by case basis. You could certainly start a program, set up the basic fx or presets you want with no instruments or samples applied, then save that as a template you start from. (Just remember to save as or duplicate it when you start so you don’t accidentally go over it lol). Thanks for watching man!
DrummerMiles well I found one right after you can save the pads as the default... so it stays ... I used your layout. Your placement. Makes sense take me.. thanks again.
This is a highly-technical resource. Your advice is gold!
Thanks Jose! Appreciate you man ✌️

Best fingerdumming video.
Thank you so much! I've had a bit of a busy time but I'm trying to get back to posting these regularly. I really appreciate the support!
Unbelievable good video! Ty!
you are so welcome!!! thanks!
Wooooow! amazing vid!
🙌🙌🙌🙌
Thanks for the knowledge. I already know a lot but I skipped a lot of the basic steps and got WAY ahead of myself.
No prob! I think it’s the best way to learn anyway, just dive in. I’m not as averse to manuals as Dilla was lol but I do think it’s such an adaptable device that everyone uses it a little bit differently.
really great fellow
🔥 we need people to sell kits like this for the mpc.
Yo sounds good homie I’ll get on it lol 💪 appreciate you!

@DrummerMiles What are your Pad sensitivity settings? Do combat double triggering a pad and the like.
do you release your drum kits to your patreon subscribers?
Absolutely. I meant to start sooner, but I unfortunately had some personal drama the last week or two thats just now clearing up.

Will these settings save in a template?
