Remember that you can slow down the video and pause it if you need more time. How many of these exercises did you get right on the first try? :)

@pepsaaeron7439 Год назад

omg...50%

I spit Coca-cola out my nose when you imitated Ringo. Fantastic video and super helpful.

@seatyourself7082 Год назад

Your Videos have such high production value that they are a great time regardless of skill level

@EclipseAtDusk Год назад

I got my first dedicated drum machine, so I’m def down for this being a series! This channel helped me decide on an RD-8, and taught me how to use the 303 sequencer!! Your content’s always killer

@EclipseAtDusk Год назад

I’ve been playing guitar for 15 years but never touched Production with a ten foot pole for about 14 of them - it’s SUPER bewildering at times, but stuff like this helps break shit down in a simple way!!

@CaptainPikant Год назад

That's so great to hear! Hey I started out with guitar too before I came to drum machines :)

@danielrosado5045 Год назад

I have been dying for tutorial like this. Having a background in music (particularly piano) I understand the theory pretty well, but the spotting the error exercises and becoming one either the sequencers really gave my a chance practice what my weaknesses. Particularly the idea of maintaining a sort of internal metronome that keeps the pulse flowing in your head , instead of just guessing. Tysm!

@PassengerPigeonsLE Год назад

Dang, my favorite DEVO drum song too lol

@FourFifty-yz7qs 26 дней назад

We need this series more... please... I'm really looking forward to it

@chrisj5547 Год назад

one of my favorite ending sequence songs by you, good job!

@CaptainPikant Год назад

Thank you! We also had a lot of fun making it :)

@filmhaltig Год назад

This was really fun! Would be very glad to clap along to another lesson in the future :) And the fact of having partially built a (part of a) popular rhythm while doing so is a rewarding addition.

@saluddiaz Год назад

it always amazes me, your videos are incredible easy to understand and I have learned a lot from them. Hopefully you will upload more in this series, thank you so much for all videos

@buckycore Год назад

Man I want MORE AND MORE. Let's work our way to making bosa nova beats, tangos, 5/4 beats that still make a booty wanna groove and the crazy polyrhythmic stuff. Let's do it!!!

@Yuusou. Год назад

It's a great way to learn the basics and train your ear-eye coordination instead of the hand-eye coordination. Definitely looking forward to the next lessons.

@ctlfishdangerzone7633 Год назад

I was loving this for the tutorial and then the twist blew my mind! ❤well done on another ace of a video. I’m looking forward to the next lesson! 😀

@naturestudy-info Год назад

This was wonderful, thank you. I also appreciate your gentle suggestion of the use of paper as an option. No need to go bananas and buy more gear. Just use whatever you already have. Listen and learn.

@Schizzieful Год назад

Good Practice!

@JuroBaltins Год назад

this that good shit, keep it up!

@MichaelStasiv Год назад

In the past I used to transcribe drum patterns of dance music into a tracker for fun and to figure out how the music 'worked.' Would love to see some more challenging exercises in the future!

@vertigev Год назад

There is a really cool tool to learn more of this, it's called Building Blocks by Audiblegenius. It made a huge difference in how I approach writing music (not just drums).

@PreLeisureTrax Год назад

3:00 I think it was around this point I was thinking “Wait, hang on, how old should I be to watch this?”

@marting4042 11 месяцев назад

Awesome, yes more please 👍🏻 I was also wondering if, for aesthetic reasons, you had contemplated miming your (previously recorded by you) musical outro? Those cables can be so untidy.

@pedrofreire6169 Год назад

@chriswood426 Год назад

love these lessons. all my music has been stapled on to the same beat for years. no longer!

@08iwndavidturner82 Год назад

Great video mate. I have an RD8 and love it. I actually just started learning real drums as a 40 year old so I now know what 1 e & a 2 is 😂. With my music I usually beat box my drums out on my phone then try to replicate the idea in my daw or rd8. I find it tricky when placing toms cause they can fall out of the 16 note sequence but still fun to do.

@Zothiqueness 7 месяцев назад

Yes please.

I'm impressed that you can do a passable Liverpool accent in what I'm pretty sure is your second language

@CaptainPikant 8 месяцев назад

Thanks! It's all from listening to the Beatles ;)

@robhogan7874 Год назад

I could do hours of these :) will revisit

@RadekPilich Год назад

I knew back then with the first video that this captain is going to be something different 🙂

@real_anxst Год назад

Haha, amazing. It's funny how as a drummer I could play it back in my head every time, but had to pause and count where they were to actually place them on a sequencer pattern.

@Morganicfilms86 Год назад

Been excited to watch this since I got the notification earlier, and already cracking up at Ringo Starr 😂😂

@Morganicfilms86 Год назад

OK, now I've finished it, I a) love it as usual, and b) definitely think more videos like this would be brilliant and massively useful. Keep up the great work Captain and The Intern 👍🏾👍🏾

@muamarhafidz2350 Год назад

@jeffreylopez8317 Год назад

Thank you…

@ettoremariotti4280 Год назад

Love it!!! unfortunately on the like and subscribe I could only push the like as I'm already an aficionado of the channel! ;) Please do more!! Also: is the "you-always-see-all" design of the polyend more helpful for learning/transcribing/writing the patterns? I have a TR-6S and am considering going full "one with the drum machine" by controlling the patterns with polyend and the sounds with a Vermona. Opinions about that? Am I missing some problems with that setup?

@CaptainPikant Год назад

Thanks! The overview that a sequencer with a pad matrix (like the Play, Deluge or Hapax) gives you is definitely a big plus, you can immediately see the interactions between the instruments. But so will writing the patterns onto a piece of paper ;) For us it's simply the best way to show the viewers everything that's going on.

@CaptainPikant Год назад

Give thanks to the Sequencer, for it is good. Its sync signal endures forever.

@G8tr1522 Год назад

after watching this video and nailing all of the exercises, i realized i've been doing this naturally the whole time 😅 Hey CP, do you have any videos covering drum patterns (or 303 even) from 808 State songs? Fell down that rabbit hole recently, and despite playing them on my phone/BT speaker at every spare moment, i can't immerse myself enough.

@CaptainPikant Год назад

Not yet. But maybe in the very near future. Perhaps. Who knows ;)

@Dekkie61 Год назад

Damn I would have expected this to be so much easier...

@synthdude7664 11 месяцев назад

So cool! How did you make those sheets? Did you print them ?

@CaptainPikant 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! Yes we layout them as PDFs and make them available to our Patrons :)

@blackrazorus Год назад

I do enjoy bad gear and synthmania, but you are up there too or even higher.

@SillyHStudios Год назад

Hey Captain Pikant, I have a Behringer RD-9 specific question. Just wondering if you know how to swing individual elements or if that is event possible? For example, if I wanted to swing the hi-hats only without swinging the rest of the kit? P.s, love your work!

@CaptainPikant Год назад

Thanks! Sadly swinging individual instruments is not possible on the RD-9 (just like on most other hardware sequencers actually).

@proxibomb4913 Год назад

hey captain pikant! i was wondering what your opinoins were on using the rd-8 and rd-9 live? i've already got a tr-8s and i'm debating getting another tr-8s for dual-drum machine live use or buying both the behringer clones for the same price!

@CaptainPikant Год назад

Tough choice. Both machines have good performance features, but ultimately I think the TR-8S will give you more flexibility while also taking up less space. If you're happy with the TR-8S sounds then I'd say stick with it :)
