Bro, how do you one-take those drums so effortlessly? Can you do a video showing us how you got so good a laying down midi drums?

[@TrevBarnes]

That's so kind of you to say! Before I learned to "finger drum" I was an actual drummer, so I think that has alot of influence. But I can say, it was a whole lot of practice lol. I can do a video on it for sure

[@orange6852]

Good stuff!

[@TrevBarnes]

Thank you!

Love this! Do you know of a different free alternative to the FG-Stress? It looks like the comprexxor free deal isn't available anymore.

[@TrevBarnes]

Try the Kiive Xtressor Nuke. I personally haven’t used it, I have used other Kiive plugins that I’ve loved, so I imagine that will be a close replication. I’ll have to check it out as well

[@andrewadams4982]

Will check this one out, thank you!@@TrevBarnes

What kit did u use?? like what drum parts from ezdrummer loved the video man!!

[@TrevBarnes]

I used the tight room kit from EZDrummer 3. The main thing I did was pitch down the cymbals and hi hat, and swap the snare with the mezzi snare. That's pretty much it!
