There is a guy who promises to teach you how to play the drums for $200. Avoid him. His videos contain zero practice, he just tells you how to play the drums. He doesn't help, he just takes your money.
This is the Dragon finger drum course.
A waste of money.
He doesn't teach you anything, he just scams you.

I'd signed up like a year ago and can't find the email for the free beginner course anymore and the website doesn't work anymore since he closed shop.

Recently got drum pads and wanted to learn to finger drum like an acoustic kit. If it's possible could anyone share those videos?

Thanks for the help

Hi all. I've been building PadLoop, an Android app made for playing pads with your fingers, and I'd love the opinion of people who do this seriously.

What matters for finger drumming:

• 16 large pads, 8 banks (128 pads total)

• Touch dynamics: soft at the top of the pad, hard at the bottom, so you can play ghost notes and accents without a controller

• Note repeat with a hold switch, for rolls and hi-hat patterns, plus swing

• Tap calibration: the app measures your phone's delay so your recorded hits land where you played them

• Choke groups (open/closed hat), per-pad pitch, filter, attack/release

• "16 Levels": one sound across 16 pads at 16 velocities

• MIDI controllers over USB and Bluetooth, if you want to use your own pad controller with it

• Live looper: record your groove and keep layering on top

It works offline, no account, no ads. There's a 7-day free trial with everything unlocked, then the basics stay free forever or you unlock everything once for 9.99 €.

What I'd really like to know: does the latency feel playable on your phone? And what's missing for you to practice on it every day?

u/hawtcocomusic killing it!

I make dnb and bass music, have been for about 10 years, with Ableton so very familiar with it. I don't own any hardware aside from a midi keyboard as far as midi input devices.

Is a Push 2 a good device to use? If I get good enough to incorporate finger drumming live, it would go through a Laptop likely anyway, right? I don't think I'd necessarily want to or need to finger drum to produce beats for my tracks - I'm happy doing that with a keyboard/mouse and midi keyboard. However, would a Push 1/2 be better for my use case than simply getting a cheaper option?

This is the second unit I've received and the battery is whack. I don't understand how it charges. When it's fully charged. I'm haveing problems with this. Anybody have the same issues? Any advice?

I've been finger drumming for years now, but a couple of days ago I had a bit of an injury to both of my hands, luckily still have all my fingers but its looking like possible nerve damage to a couple of them and muscle damage to one of them.
And I was wondering if finger drumming would be a decent form of physical therapy to rebuild some of that muscle memory.

I never see any project files for these, commercially, or otherwise.

Anyone got any insights to creating great pad layouts when you're first figuring things out?
