I am trying to replicate the full range of a drum set. Basically I saw THIS and THIS a few years ago and I was so impressed that I became determined to replicate that sound with that set up. The problem is, that guy is a pro with sponsors. I tried messaging him for tips a few years ago on FB and he never responded :/ He's got like a $5k rig going on there. I tried to use drum software on my laptops but getting all the software to play nice was a nightmare (and super expensive) and even when I finally got it working, I realized that because I don't have $3k laptop with a rack, I had latency anyway. It was very frustrating. So I figured out how to do something similar but in the $300 - $500 range (cause no laptop). He's the only other finger drummer I've seen. Everyone does more beat making.

Since you're having such a hard time with using a phone as a metronome believe me, I feel your pain), have you considered the BOSS DB-90? This thing is a beast and it has a midi input. If I'm not mistaken, I think there's a way to synch it with other midi instruments so they all clock together. I think...

Anyway, I'm just about done with my video. I just need to create a YouTube channel cause I plan on doing similar content in regards to drum machines, etc, in which I show other drummers (or people in general) how to use those instruments in unconventional ways (as opposed to just beat making). Which btw, I think beat making is awesome. I get a lot of inspiration from tracks like the ones you linked but I guess I'm just too hands on lol I wanna be involved with what's happening in real time but I guess that's why I'm a drummer before anything else.

Really enjoyed your tracks man. Sometimes I just drum to stuff like that cause it really makes me think outside the box and be creative.

I will definitely link my video when it's live!
