RE: Steemit Open Mic Week 63 - METAL DRUMS Improvised Over A Backing Track (use headphones/speakers with good bass)
Rocking bro!... We should make some collaboration song sometime... What drum sample are you using?
Thank you. Wish I could redo it to fix some nuances, but the pads and pedals are too loud for my neighbors. I'm down for collaborating. I just need an mp3 file.
The backing track was by "Gene2020". The title of the song was "Drumless metal backing track (no click) - bpm 88 - B minor" I wasn't using any sample per se. I just play over the mp3 in my headphones that's on a USB drive attached to my drum's module.
I've posted a few other videos in recent weeks if you want to hear some other sounds.
Sounds good to me!, just the cymbals and hi-hats are too loud on the mix but thats ok, that module sounds great!, which one is it?
I hear you. When I'm not rushed, it's so much easier to consider those things. If I had one more hour to redo it, the track would be so much tighter.
I wish I had audio editing skills of any kind, but I just have each triggered balanced on the module to a level where I can hear myself clearly enough. It's one of the biggest challenges of playing over music on an electronic kit vs acoustic. Especially with a track, I need each piece to be loud enough to hear when playing. The music plays in my ears very loud and I don't know how to lower it independently without touching the master volume. The sticks on the pads also make a competing noise that's very distracting distracting which I need to drown out.
I'm playing on a Roland TD-30KV.
@dreamrafa - I updated the video above with a tighter version that had more punch to it (trying to lower the cymbals to no avail). Let me know your thoughts if you catch this.
Sounds tight bro!... Really like the sound of your module... You ever tried some VST like superior drummer or ezdrummer?
Never done much with a VST except seem them on YouTube. I don't really have a need for them since my module has tons of settings I haven't shown yet, which is more than enough for me. I can upload custom or other external sounds into the module (brain) to use on my triggers, and have been debating how to do that for a Mario Brothers cover...
