Wow, like this song! Give us more tutorials please in the future 😎

[@TheQuestforGroove]

Oh yeah, those will come as well. Glad you enjoyed the song!

[@lpsc_zzz]

definitely wasn’t expecting the singing but pleasantly surprised; nice track!

[@TheQuestforGroove]

Haha thanks! I usually feel that a song isn't really done without lyrics (or at least without singing it easily sounds likecomputer game music or something) so when it's a real song I sing as well. With a little melodyne here an there :-)

[@nStueckKuchn]

This is just awesome! Great to see that you still love your project! For me it's my one year anniversary of finger drumming and beeing part of the quest for groove community. I can't imagine a better teacher than you, I'm looking forward to new exercises! :)

[@TheQuestforGroove]

This means a lot, thank you!

[@jonahcombs451]

[@evanwilcox82]

Loved the song! You earned a sub, nice job.

[@TheQuestforGroove]

Thank you and happy holidays!

How do you produce such a tune with fingerdrumming? Do you start with programmed draft and then replace programmed parts with real instruments? Or do you initially played fingerdrumming part and then other instruments?

[@TheQuestforGroove]

This one was actually just me filming myself for 5 minutes while improvising a couple of grooves. I listened back and found these 16 bars that were really nice so I used those and then played everything else over them. This one was done without a click, but sometimes I do first record a smaller loop to a click (4 bars or so) to get the feel, then copy paste that as the guide track, record all the instruments and then re-record the drums. Right now I think building on top of an improvisation is the most fun way, but I use both methods!

[@ZPaulCenti]

Love it! More!!

[@めんちかつ-o1o]

(日本語)起きたときにたまたま聞いてとても爽やかな良い朝になりました。ありがとう！from Japan!! （ENGLISH）today, in the morning, by chance, I found your beautiful music!! and great finger drum contents!! THANK YOU!! I appreciate you!!!

[@TheQuestforGroove]

Thank you for your kind words!!

[@Bomtoi]

I love when you start grooving so hard that you gotta grab the table

[@TheQuestforGroove]

Haha, gotta keep that booty from shaking me away from the microphone!

[@fusterclucker2301]

Great tune and you've got a great voice!

[@TheQuestforGroove]

Thank you! I enjoy singing a lot, but like most people I don't really like my own recorded voice that much. I did learn some tricks over the years to make it sound good in a recording though, so nowadays I just go for it :-)

[@amilcar431]

It would be amazing if you can share that secrets, I'd be really grateful. Right now I'm recording my ep and I'm struggling really bad with my voice hahah

[@Beshinemusician]

Just Gotta Go for it@@TheQuestforGroove

[@RCAVDH]

Great song! Thanks for sharing.

[@lowbassdude1987]

I love it! What a vibe!

[@raulluccaroni1369]

Like the song!!

[@szabolcskolcsey1563]

Yaaay! 7 years, what a journey! Congrats, Rob! I've been hitting the pads for 2 months now and although the road can be bumpy sometimes, I'll have my 7 years anniversary with finger drumming in the future for sure! Keep up the good work, you're awesome!

[@TheQuestforGroove]

Thank you, those words mean a lot. Onward to the next 7 years! (with maybe another milestone at 10 years in between)

[@ivanclarke]

Great song, love it. Has to be a winner. :)

[@GeniusBarLiveMusic]

I am a new sub just got a 2nd hand mpd218 to have a go on yours is the best content on this subject cheers, Also a great song you made

[@TheQuestforGroove]

Thanks you, that means a lot!

[@robjthmpsn]

Good job! I knew you were a Reaper guy 😀

[@botondmetal]

niceeeee

[@heanz]

congrats mate! finger drumming - still a field to develop and to make more mainstream, with a lot of potential

[@TheQuestforGroove]

Hey thanks! I figured some time ago that besides making tutorials I also really had to start demonstrating the 'real world' possibilities of finger drumming. So not just as some cool circus trick but as a functional way to help with songwriting and recording actual songs in the (home) studio. That's the whole reason this thing started for me and I hope to inspire more musicians to start learning this stuff if they see me make use of a pad controller this way. KZbin seems to not like this content as much as for example gear reviews, but I'm not giving up on it yet!

[@heanz]

@@TheQuestforGroove You sure provide a lot and help developing - with any video about this topic. Appreciate your answer, all the best.

[@quentinmorales]

Sick guitar solo!

[@TheQuestforGroove]

Ha thanks! It's been a long time since I recorded a guitar solo so great to hear it's appreciated!

[@gerwinvandermeer6246]

Hi verry great what you doing, Do you also have a good setting voor conca's? Because I'm afraid I'm learning it wrong otherwise.

[@TheQuestforGroove]

Hey, I have not researched percussion in depth as of yet. When I need them I just set them up on random pads :-)

[@Queerpunx]

Anyone know what horns he used? vsti ? samples?

[@TheQuestforGroove]

Audio Modeling SWAM! I made another song with those horns and talk about them. Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f57NgpqOqqqlf80

[@dingleberrypie6612]

You like the machine over the mpc1?

[@TheQuestforGroove]

Yes, right now I do. I really like the pad sensitivity of the Maschine, whereas the pad quality of akai devices nowadays seems to vary a bit. Not that the mpc 1 will be bad, just not as reliable as my maschine is my guess.

[@dingleberrypie6612]

That's awesome. Some day I'll get one. What is the thing you were playing the horns on?

[@thabeachmaster324]

Make a bedroom punk song please

[@TheQuestforGroove]

Good one!
