I like how Matt is playing an electric kit triggering acoustic drum sounds that he originally recorded.

I am exactly the guy they’re talking about in this video. A bedroom musician when I started out, guitars and vocals mainly, and I’m now producing my own full-on productions and they actually sound damn good. Companies like GGD have been, and I cannot overstate this, a massive help in making that even possible. I also could not play the drums for shit but now Have progressed to a point where I’m writing and tracking my own drums for my music. It’s so awesome how you can just go out and get yourself a decent E kit and then hook up to GGD and get any drum sound you want convincingly. I’ve now added an instrument to my quiver of things I can play and don’t have the guilt of copy/paste drums in my music. I can’t mic and record an acoustic kit just because of space and noise limitations but I can track through my E-kit and feel better knowing that I actually wrote and played the drums in my stuff. I legit am thankful for guys like Misha and Nollie who have moved the barrier for intro back for musicians to be able to express themselves and create their art when 10 years ago for a lot of us it would’ve been nearly impossible. Cheers fellas

Instructional videos on their own products and thorough explanations on what they can or cant do is one of the things that drew me to GGD. Thx all!

For anyone that doeant know check out Sithu Ayes latest couple albums they were done with GGD Invasion they sound amazing!

Heavyweights dropping knowledge! Very stoked for this. 🙌 Thanks Sweetwater for making this, and helping me recently build my up and coming studio. 👍

such type of videos, where you talk with actual devs behind the products, are really great to have, do make more in the future please :)

Yamaha, Roland, etc...Please pay to have their samples pre-loaded on your kits haha, they are so much better than the standard "Metal" or "Punchy" drum presets that come on electronic kits.

So awesome; definitely glad to see GGD and Sweetwater teaming up!

I'm so happy these guys exist, They make me smile daily. Thank you for your music guys, it's everything we all need, at the right time.

I loved when Nick sung "Save the Orphans" in Two and a Half Men.

That hi-hat is holdin' on for dear life.

I love what they're talking about in terms of the composition first, and then they level up in learning to play it! As a guitarist/singer, this is super common for me, cuz I want the riffs to be dope, but I normally can't sing it and play it at the start. That part takes a lot of work and practice, so I relate to what they're saying.

Great video- Love this!

The modern fusion is amazing. Been following misha since the tandjent forum with timdog.

The way I see it. Writing the music first allows for total creativity and you're not locked in or shackled by the fear of "can I even play that." You're just focused on writing good music and the letting the music tell you where it should go. In my band we were writing a song that we just knew had to go into a tapping section. I'm pretty bad at the technique, but we knew that's where the song wanted to go so we recorded it and eventually I learned how to play it live. If I just went with something I was comfortable with, it would remove the challenge and be a disservice to the music.

I love Matt Halpern's P4 Kit. It's insanely good. Sometimes I combine the kick and snare with the Invasion cymbals. So good.

I love listening to them talk about this

GGD needs to support roland brains out of the box. Superior 3 works with e kits so much better that I dont use GGD anymore. really hope they can get that feature soon

Misha, Matt, Nolly. The greatest gear entrepreneurs of all time.

Before Periphery, Misha was *Bulb* helping to shape and push forward a new sub genre of metal.

Congrats GGD dudes and congrats Sweetwater.

i know the GGD metal kit when i hear it in that intro ahahaha. great products man! crazy affordable as well. integrates very nicely with ekits. i got a td 17kvx last year as i got tired of barely being able to play acoustic due to noise levels and SPECIFICALLY wanted to use GGD exclusively with it via midi because i realllyy dont care for the 'in the box sounds' the module has. their stuff made me have fun playing drums again :)

this is a great video, thanks everyone. Also, is Matt wearing bellbottoms?

Flashy Halpern Snare, I'm going to get that boy when it lands here in the Philippines.

do they mention what misha uses for his guitar tones here?

I like Sweetwater. I like Periphery. I like GGD. I like Nolly... and I especially like this video. Cheers from Memphis, Lads!

Does anyone know if there is a video where Misha talks about the essentials of getting started with a daw? I'm looking for advice on midi controllers sound cards DAC/amp combos monitors some sort of guitar computer interface.

best product i have ever bought. love GGD

Does anyone know how to learn drums from scratch using just GGD, when you don't own a drum kit?? I just bought GGD Modern Fusion during the sale, but I literally have no idea how to play drums or own a drum kit, lol....I have no idea where to even start at this point. 😆

should invite nolly in this interview tho, his name and knowledge suit this interview more

Well how strange. I’m on day 3 of programming a guitar solo in guitar pro. Slowly bar by bar figuring something out. I can play it, but it’s slightly sloppy, I just want to break out of that improvised jam thing I’ve gotten stuck in and mix it up a bit. Seems to be working so far. Good to know I’m not crazy.

Best sounding virtual drum vst on the market. Hands down.

I remember sitting with Nolly in the merch bit in Glasgow and playing on his pink Daemoness guitar and them talking about Jake's broken finger, on that first LXD tour. Crazy that was over a decade ago.

Once you hear Matts mic you cant unhear it.

How remove all the compression from overheads. Too much in the mix for me .

Nolly is like Mew from Pokemon. He masters every abilities ! Like a Joker card you want him in your deck!

Is the drummer that law and order detective guy?

Genial

🤘

Seriously, this software sounds like the drummer in my head. 😂

I bought GGD, but I can't import a midi track into my DAW and use GGD for the drums. It's super frustrating

Modern massive mixed with invasion FTW

Are you sure that’s not Tray Parker from South Park?

cool wish I had money

I feel Misha’s anxiety from here goddamn

I know people love to hate the compose first then learn process, a decent amount of composers throughout history write stuff they couldn't play.

most great inventions start off as a project for ones use and own satisfaction. Nikola Tesla did not just make tesla coils in an attempt to give free electricity to the world, he also used them to make bad ass incandescent light BuLb shows for entertainment of the people! You know that was fun to do and see the look on peoples faces as you melt their brains!

The samples are probably one of the best for sure. Navigating through Kontakt totally ruins it for me. Sd3 all the way just saying

So many people trying to copy ggd now but ggd is still the best hands down.

People used to do this before there were computers. It's called reading, writing and composing.
