Yamaha just released the new finger drum pad. Guess it’s finally time to learn this! I quit drumming years ago because I really couldn’t practice. And I don’t want to disturb my neighbors. But I still love drumming!
This finger drumming looks very interesting and I’m glad there are people teaching how to play it.
Thank you for the tutorial!
Definitely awesome video. Been a drummer for over 20yrs now and just bought my first MPC X a couple of months ago. Could not agree more as far as approach. 👊🧡👍
There's not enough praise for this video. This is the first video that I've found that explains how to rationally choose which voice to use on which pad depending on our dominant and non-dominant hands. I recently started finger drumming. And I really hope that this makes me more adaptable when I first start. Hand position is crucial, whether you're playing the piano or typing on a laptop or computer. Certain hand positions are detrimental to one's ability to grow. I'll try searching for videos similar to this one before I begin. Thank You!!
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to find your channel! Subscribed and will share this with friends. Keep up the great work. I’m gonna have to binge watch the rest of your videos 🤘👽🤘
Thanks, Dragon. I appreciate your perspective and your ability to elaborate clearly.
Great lesson!!!
Very elaborated video, direct to the point, all good information. no BS. One more subscriber. ❤
Grew so much with this lesson alone! 🎉
Really great style of both, playing AND explanation 👌
Needed this video. thank youu
great video! PS: the view outside is dope!
Oh good, this is exactly how i always set up my pads. 🙌 Good skills dude! Respect
Very well explained! I really like your approach. It's very similar to mine 🙂
hands down best finger drummer on youtube. well done thanks for sharing
Very helpful thank you bro
High value tips. thx
Nice Vid Appreciate the info 🔥
Can't wait! :D
Great video.
Bro, you’re skill is impressive
The quest for groove also teaches this method but hit layout is different.
these are some mad skills, bro at first I thought that video of you playing is speeded up
Thank You🔥🥁🔥🤟😉
1000 MERCI.... THANKS SO MUCH...🎶 Un temps précieux
Legend
Genius
David "finger" haynes was One of the First drummer Who tried fingerdrumming on pads using Korg nanopad. Check out his work,still One of m'y favorite. Good TIPS from your Channel btw
hey man, just a tip:
this video should have started with the part at 2:26.
plugging your site at the start and going on about how most people do things wrongly without context just gives the viewer a reason to be highly sceptical (which i also was) until the demo part.
great drumming man! 10/10
Pleas help: I have a MPD218 by Akai and I simply want to finger drum ethnic drum instruments. Any software suggestions? Kontakt instruments are not set up for finger drumming so I would like other software VST suggestions. I use Reaper as my DAW. Thanks!
Hello dragon, your realistic method of playing fingerdruming catches my attention
it is very logical
a question with this method could you play genres like drum and bass
There is not much information on the internet and many are with mirror pad setups
thank you so much!!
soon I will subscribe to your course
Yes, you can play any style of music you want with my layout! It's designed to be the best way to emulate playing a real drum kit on the pads. I played acoustic drums for 5 years before I learned finger drumming, and so I wanted a pad layout that would allow me to play anything I could play on an acoustic kit. So if you can play it on a drum kit, you can play it on my pad layout, and that includes drum n bass or any other style of drumming.
Hello sir, I doubt you remember me but I commented on “The trouble with the mirror setup” and I have an update. I actually arrived at a compromise between my thoughts and yours. Let me explain, my challenge was I am using a notation launchpad x with Logic Pro x and I absolutely love it. Minus one single issue. Small pads. Here’s what I did. I use drum machine designer in logic which gives a 4 horizontal by 8 vertical rows at the bottom which lets me mimic your setup but I get 2 vertical rows per piece instead of 1. Then at the top I get another 4x4 grid I use for supplemental percussion. I love it. Thanks for the suggestions.
That's awesome, I'm glad you found a setup that works for you! I definitely think it's important to experiment and explore different layouts, and I also think that finger drumming needs to have some kind of primary standard for beginners who aren't ready to spend a lot of time experimenting (sort of like standard tuning for guitar). That's why I recommend my acoustic drumkit layout to most people, and also encourage experimentation when desired. I'd be interested to see your pad layout in action one day!
wow! your finger bounces like drumstick
Have you tried to use some bass drum pedal, like Yamaha KU100 for closer than the real drumming experience, and freeing more fingers?
No, I've never tried this! It's a great idea though, and I may look into it one day!
I'm am keyboardist and i wanna get into finger drumming so do you recommend dram pads or drumming with keys. And which drum pad do you recommend.
I'd definitely recommend using a pad controller as opposed to keys, because it feels more like a real percussion surface vs. keys which bounce back. And my top recommended pad controller is the Maschine Mikro MK3, it's what I use and it's a fantastic combo of value and quality!
Which drums do u use lately? did u stick to MODO drum? or the other sample based one?
I use Addictive Drums for all my finger drumming! I do like MODO Drum, but the demo alone took up almost double the space on my hard drive as the full Addictive Drums +5 packs, and it was also kind of a CPU hog. Addictive Drums is light, easy, and sounds great to me.
I would like to have one-on-one online private lessons with Mr. Dragon. How much do you charge?
We can apply basic hihat concepts if we have a midi sustain pedal laying around. In our home studio, most of us have a midi keyboard integrated.
I know it exceeds the definition of "finger" drumming but I did want to point that out anyway.
Great content btw.
This is a great point! I haven't personally experimented with a midi sustain pedal for finger drumming, but it's something I'll definitely look into.
Having even two sustains, I was thinking about both bass drum and hi-hat playing with them. I guess the issue with the bass drum specifically would be the lack of velocity sensitivity, and I am wondering whether some bass drum pedal, like Yamaha KU100 could be used for closer to the real drumming experience, and freeing more fingers?
Epic - however, "back beat" refers to accenting the non-dominant beat and not the downbeat. In most music is 4/4, that would be 2 and 4 and performed by the left hand.
You're absolutely correct! I realized I made this mistake after I filmed the lesson haha
@@DragonFingerDrums I'm glad you noticed it. Unfortunately, it occurs in several of your most instructive videos.
hi , i love your content , can you please tell me which finger pad size is best for drumming, like the size of novation launchpad X is small then the maschine micro , so which size is best for finger drumming please tell me
i mean the size of pads
I'd highly recommend the Maschine size pads for finger drumming, because they're more like little drum surfaces at that size, which allows you to do a lot more with precision hits and even flams. However, there are some great finger drummers (like Nular) who use the Launchpad, so it's not a bad choice! Just a different setup from my own.
Master is it possible to play double strock kick in this lay out ? Plz show in next short reel
@@DragonFingerDrums thankyou sir..i'm already patron in your course ❤️🙏love from india
Nice info
I really prefer Quest for Groove pads layout. Because I think it's much more easy to play 16th in a fast tempos with alternate hands! Instead of reapeating it with the same right hand.
@@brunolacerda4611 i'm using that pad layout only from last 2 years ..best pad layout i can say big shoutout to robert
@@animeshbeladiya5470 I tried another pads layout, but, specially as a pianist (we use thumbe finger all the time), I find myself with Robert's either.
Why do you have the Urbit logo tattooed on your hand
How is it so echo-y WITH a lav mic? lol

The secret to realistic fingerdrumming: be David Haynes!!!

@dragonfingerdrums got the course. Thank you 😊
kid named drum:
Hey, hey, wait a minute, you're completely wrong! Backbeat means playing the snare drum on 2 and 4 and not straight ahead beat on the hi-hat or ride (quarters, eighths or sixteenths). If you've been playing drums for that long, you should know that! That is the basis of drumming.
You're right! I totally mixed up my terminology here lol. Meant to say pulse for the hi-hat and ride instead of backbeat.
The secret is Practice. You can have all the setup and the gear but it ain’t gonna make you better than plain old sweat equity. 10,000 hrs is the secret! SMH!
Very true!
sweaquity.
Mr. Dragon! Thank you~
My instrument arrived the day before yesterday. I'm practicing hard while watching your lecture video. Thank you very much. th-cam.com/users/shorts8TG_-H1_Oiw
Gadget like that are not appropriate to finger drumming,
Terrible chops and rythm 😂 bro did all that talking for nothing
