Been going through some not so good moments for drummers lately. :x Or at least one in particular. Makes me want to take up guitar. :shock: NOT. :D OK, I have one on now. :oops:

I'm working on my 451Jam part.

How are you guys coming along with your parts? :)]]> Guitar Players Discussion Bish https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/percussion-question-though-i-am-a-guitarist/#post-214358 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/percussion-question-though-i-am-a-guitarist/#post-214282 Wed, 13 Dec 2006 18:27:44 +0000
Anyway, we are just looking for something to use when there is not enough SPACE to have a drum set and/or when we need some percussion and our drummer is elsewhere playing something. Don't mean to insult any drummers!]]> Guitar Players Discussion MoGal https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/percussion-question-though-i-am-a-guitarist/#post-214282 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/percussion-question-though-i-am-a-guitarist/#post-214267 Wed, 13 Dec 2006 17:30:28 +0000

Of course a real drum kit is a more satisfying experience; these are more akin to playing practice pads. In any case, these pads come with complete drum kit samples -- if fact, for several types of kits, and will also trigger other MIDI devices. Anyone who's ever had to pack four or five people onto a 5 foot by 10 foot bar or coffehouse "stage" will appreciate this device.]]> Guitar Players Discussion gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/percussion-question-though-i-am-a-guitarist/#post-214262 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/percussion-question-though-i-am-a-guitarist/#post-214230 Wed, 13 Dec 2006 08:47:31 +0000 Most of the time I've seen one of these used it was to expand the number of available noises the drummer could make.

For instance, who wants to schlep around a hammer and anvil just to play "Maxwell's Silver Hammer"? Just load a sample of the anvil sound and away you go.]]> Guitar Players Discussion kent_eh https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/percussion-question-though-i-am-a-guitarist/#post-214230 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/percussion-question-though-i-am-a-guitarist/#post-214145 Tue, 12 Dec 2006 20:07:14 +0000
you still need someone to play the thing.
samplers are ok in my mind. they will never replace a live drummer.
before you try electronic see if your drummer would strip thhe drum kit to the bare essentials.
also look for different kinds of drum sticks. I am no drummer, but Ive seen drummers with these soft wands. they bang softer.
These are manually-triggered midi sample devices. They do require a "live" drummer (not programmer or keyboard player) to play the pads (triggers). They are basically a compact version of the electronic drum kits that a fair number of drummers have been using for years. They sound every bit as convincing as Phil Collin's (im)famous gated drums.]]> Guitar Players Discussion gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/percussion-question-though-i-am-a-guitarist/#post-214145 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/percussion-question-though-i-am-a-guitarist/#post-214139 Tue, 12 Dec 2006 19:45:50 +0000 samplers are ok in my mind. they will never replace a live drummer.
