Pretty awesome. I have no idea how that is even possible. I have tried using a keyboard for drums numerous times, but always ended up programming it instead or playing only a couple of drums at a time. It's just really hard and awkward. Picked up an electronic drumkit this summer and was able to play and record right away without any training (not very tight since I'm new at it, but I could play fairly interesting and have control over all the limbs). My point is that playing drums on a KB is a LOT harder than playing actual drums.

I've often wondered what it would be like to play the drum part of a song, any song, on keyboards.  Most keyboards have at least a couple of drum patches, and presumably the better keyboards would let you even create your own.  We don't have a regular drummer in our praise band, and a couple of songs would have really benefitted from having drums, but it didn't make sense to have drums instead of keyboards, and I can't do both.

Nice job, from what I watched.  I had to stop it after about 30 seconds because the visual effects were really distracting.

Had it not been for those, I probably would have kept watching it. 


Nice job, though.  :tup

Thank you all guys! I really love to keydrum, don't know why, maybe I have a bit of a drummer soul. I play real drums sometimes but it's very basic level...So keydrummin really works nicely for me in this!  :D

I'm surprised that given your love for key drumming, you're sticking with the standard layout. I always thought there could be far better ones for the purpose.

Personally, I found this layout quite useful for me! Different layouts gives you different finger coordination challenges, though.  ::)

Isn't there some rule against constantly bumping your own topic?

Really? May be, I haven't found.
What's wrong with bumping the thread only one time a month for a people who missed seeing the thing that they'd love to watch?
