That was truly epic. I noticed the timing was off a couple of times but I've never seen anyone work 2 machines simultaneously as deftly as you did.

Bravo!!!!!!!!!

that was awesome. your gonna be really good if you keep at it, i couldnt even think about using 2 hands on two different machines like that. its hard enough to play a kick, snare and hat together without sounding jumbled.

keep it up!

To be honest his tutorials pushed me to go fingerdrumming. At first I wanted to play live with a controller but after seeing his stuff I decided to focus on jut hitting the pads! :-D

thats dope, yeah, he inspired me to pick up a few more finger drumming techniques too though, but i still do alot of just 1 pad hitting and grid edit when im making my beats, i can hold a beat better than i could before though, sometimes i just zone out on a pattern for 15 or 20 minutes at a time.

Yah I feel it's difficult to find a good beat sometimes. There's times when it's all up to the samples, there's times when you've got the nicest flow that hit you and any program works. Sometimes I miss my MPC, sometimes I don't... Right now it's all about finding new tricks for an old dog (that is, the making music dog.)

Monumental skill, dexterity, co-ordination and timing. Best finger drumming video I've seen in years.
