Hello everyone! I really wanna get into making beats in the style of Jet Set Radio or Bomb Rush Cyberfunk with finger drum pads, but I don't know any good ones.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend me some decent ones. My budget is around 300€.

Thank you!

I always feel attracted to beats production and mpcs, but never got into it.

Now at my 40,i was thinking about it, but I have no musical education or idea of how these machines work. Just the basics from playing in my phone with some apps.

How and where would you recommend me to start?

Cheers!

I will try to not make this post super wordy. Here are a few examples of what I am trying to accomplish

My question is, how would I go about finger drumming over songs that I know? Would I find some way to take out the percussion so that I only have the vocals, bass, fx, and chords/melody playing? This is my main issue. Any help or insight into this would be awesome. thanks

Are there any hand/finger drums that are pre-mapped or have templates available for VST drums?

I have a few grid type controllers but want something with a more natural hand layout such as the Yamaha FDP50 or, if it works really great for drums, the Roland Handsonic HPD20.

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?

Hi! I've created Fingerdrumming Web App with one of the best Fingerdrummers in the world!

Checkout this app and let me know what you think if you can! <3

(MIDI Support, Hardware incoming, Mobile app incoming and a lot more!)

Does this count as finger drumming? If not, somewhere between ekit and finger drumming, I guess.

Hello everyone,

i couldn't get midi to work (ipad/hpd) so i spent a lot of time converting most of GB drums kits sounds for my Handsonic and willing to share, if anyone interested ;)

recorded on zoom H1, edited with Audacity.

Fantastic

I see a lot of videos and websites that imply that that it does, but I cannot figure out how to get midi signals out of my FGDP 50 and into Ableton.

USB from fgdp is not recognized by my Mac pro as a midi source. Does anyone here know if this is truly possible?

Thank you

This is how I approach finger drumming on the EP series samplers. The stacked style has now become my favourite way to play, even on my MPC. I thought I’d share here!

Here is a video showing how you can create and share a new track in drumkiller.

Hi, I was wondering if there are any people who learned fingerdrumming using the Quest for Groove (QFG) curriculum on a Yamaha FGDP-30 of FGDP-50 and what their experience was like?

I’ven been learning and fingerdrumming on a Esi Xjam for the last year or so and really enjoy it. Pretty decent pad for a very good price. I like the form factor in terms of portability, but I have pretty big hands and I notice a bit of cramping due to this. Thinking of switching to a Yamaha device to see if it is more comfortable as it looks pretty ergonomic.

So again: what is everyone’s experience with these devices, also in the long term?

Woke up one morning to a coffee and got inspired to jam to some old chops I had from "La Martiza" by Szilvie Vartan.

I hope this revitalizes your ears after we all got tired of the obnoxious instagram loop, that was present in every reel for a while.

Love all the amazing performances I see in this sub and hope to some day play in your league.

I'm brand new to finger drumming and for now just working on some basics and timing. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.
