You don't see too much finger drumming...

I've been trying to find people playing MPCs on youtube, and mostly it's just people changing layers, or chopping samples slightly..
This is me and the other guy in my band..

Does anybody here play the finger drumming style?

nice,

lol, that camera lense (or effect or angle or what ever) made the guy on the tables seem almost invisible haha..

haha!

Yeah, the wide angle lens makes the short guy seem shorter.
It's a fun lens to play around with..

Hey - I asked in the other forum but got no reply... do you guys know how to set only ONE pad to FULL LEVEL while keeping all the others the same? Can you do this in the JJOS?

Thanks a lot!

Check out my video "the Susan Barlow Sessions". Its a couple others with me finger drummin but that one seems to be the crowd favorite. (link's in my signature)

cant you just change the velocity of that one sound?

Ive got my velocity maxed out on the 808..

@ Susan Barlow Sessions - that was dope! Why does that vid only have 700 views, when other, horrible, MPC vids have 10000..? funny - around the 30 second mark I was thinking 'you should add in some 16ths with your left hand'... then it happened!

that was pretty good could be tighter but it shits on any live sh*t I can do
keep it up
Peace

It aint too popular but so far it's been respected. I'm cool with that. What other instruments are used in your band besides the MP and turntables?

We use everything under the sun.. We try to keep it mostly sample based.. we're both fans of sampled music, and think that it helps get different vibes in the music.. So it doesn't sound like one person played everything..
But we also use guitars, keyboards, any sort of percussion we can find, all sorts of fx pedals and boards, i recently bought a banjo (here's a song i just did with said banjo-sample free- http://r3.ca/0Cn8 ), kalimbas, harmonicas, loopers, recorders, slides, etc.. we can play all the easy instruments, haha.. no strings (violins, cello), and no brass... we usually get our brass and strings from samples or keyboards..
