The Wes Anderson of drum machine tutorials. I like the bunny!

[@Funkbutterfly]

This has got to be one of the best videos about electronic music I have ever seen on KZbin. Had to come back to it today to watch again because it is such a delight.

[@khuba2500]

I can't believe it has only few views!!!!

[@caved_weller]

Stopmotion parts are simply wonderful. I'm perplexed with the high video production value you've got going on here. Subbed

[@icystorm9968]

This is such a high quality video, it's criminally underrated!

[@8bitDude0]

This production is insane. It's so lovely to watch and the information is great as well!

[@MsSlash89]

[@uzomanwosu]

This tutorial does what so many other beginning tutorials and manuals miss, it is from the position of the absolute beginner. I can't wait to check out the rest in this series!

[@robnzombiz]

Finally found the best drum machine video in the World Wide Web

[@kamfuku]

I came here looking to learn more about drum machines because I have to make one to pass my program certification but this was way more than I expected, a pleasant surprise. I might end up switching careers thanks to this lol

[@CaptainPikant]

😄 awesome! What are you programming your drum machine in?

[@kamfuku]

@@CaptainPikant React, it's nothing fancy though just a basic app lol

[@OliverFlutiMT]

You sir, will become a star. Don’t stop.

[@markusw9286]

Earned yourself a sub! Very well explained!

[@sinwithsebastian]

Visually very pleasing style -way to go

[@georgy3136]

The quality of this video is something else. Bravo Captain Pikant!

[@user-vs1cm8nv5i]

first i started making beats on garageband, then i got into guitar and added that to my music, then keyboard and the preset synths included on my starter, now I guess its time to learn this too

[@Alex-ew8gd]

THANK YOU. literally have been looking for something like this for years, almost gave up learning a few times too

[@crapweasel17]

I already knew the information in this video and didn't need to watch something this basic, but, like others, I did just because the animation is so great. Especially the metronome bunny!

[@matthewchunk3689]

Great video. Love the humor and animation!

The best-quality video I’ve ever seen on synthesizers.

[@guidlle]

The level of production on these videos is absolutely insane, it feels wrong to watch them for free.

[@TheHoodGuru]

I subscribed on the Kraftwerk video but this one is the one I really liked because I never knew how do use garage band to do this. And I grew up on these beats. So finally I might have some fun with my ipad.

[@schoontube]

This is award-winning level of content. I sure hope you do more videos in your 101 series!

[@patrickrainey305]

Normally I’m a hater on all KZbin videos but this is just objectively a great video

[@xxJeffyxx]

How lame

[@robertopaolo4625]

Super professional video with incredible audio and animations. Thank you! That's incredible!

[@hoppkins]

Ludicrously professional vid. Thanks.

[@MarkS-nt8de]

Un-fass-bar wie viel Aufwand in dem Viseo steckt... stark!

[@freazee247]

Attention QualityContent here! The effort in your videos speaks for itself, keep it up!

[@khiemle1306]

such a gorgeous video and presentation, your love for the music is palpable. much love

[@allentaylor3325]

These are amazing videos. I'm sure you know that.

[@CaptainPikant]

Thank you so much :)

[@Maurusioo]

The visual design of all your videos is a masterpiece! 😃

[@khuba2500]

This is one of the best videos on KZbin! The knowledge, the visual effects and everything else! It's really pleasant to watch

[@ADH.DREAMING]

Wow, that was an incredible video.

[@techshmitsofficial4659]

I absolutely love the amount of effort you put into your videos. They are super entertaining. I am honestly grateful and happy I found your channel. 😃

[@richardlewis3575]

Your tutorial videos are genius! The inspired visuals and your relaxing voice work brilliantly. You've made a frustrated middle-aged man trying to program his first ever drum machine very happy!

[@micheldejesus3319]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="90">1:30</a> I love bottoms and blinking lights 🎚️🎛️ really appreciate your video!!!

[@TheTwicked]

Insane production value ❤️

[@RocketChild]

Not only was this such an easy tutorial to understand, but the effort into using stop motion animation is true dedication 💪👏👏

[@CaptainPikant]

Thank you so much :)

[@tobyzxcd]

As somebody just getting into drum machines your channel is such a godsend- first video I saw was your RD-8 review, your videos are so pretty and good at supporting what you’re explaining like it’s a story- I can’t wait for more in this series :)

[@thejuiceproject9555]

This thing is amazing man! Thank you for doing such a wonderful piece of educational content. I'll be keeping on with your stuff. Greetings from Mexico.

[@ledbetter85]

This is an awesome video. Production value is excellent.

[@LondraCalibro9]

beautiful video - great work and animations

[@rahulacb11]

Just unreal video. Couldn't take my eyes off this video. Amazing work👍🏼 definitely subbed.

[@stephen148]

I'm not even 2 minutes in and I've already subbed and notified of all your uploads. I LOVE this. Looking forward to telling people about your channel. The production quality is amazing :]

[@VictorAvalosOfficial]

Thanks for using Bossa Nova... :)

[@sonic2000gr]

Wow I wonder how I've missed this channel all this time. Granted, it's the first time I am searching for drum machines (as I am about to pick my first one). You sir are a real teacher, this is an amazingly well thought out video. Everything is so much clearer now.

[@williamcookson3473]

I love the way this video is exemplified. It makes learning fun and interesting.

[@German_LP]

Gracias Captain!

[@jfg1692]

I love the style of your video image! So nice, looks like u work hard on it. Great Result.

[@chriseisert1349]

Wow, gotta say... probably the most easy going, creative music creation tutorial page on KZbin. The production style is an whimsically grounded experience which doesn't simply implores but eases the mind into wanting to learn. Top tier stuff guys!!

[@CaptainPikant]

Wow, thank you so much :) :)

[@Lonesta1980]

Nicely done. Easy to understand. beautifully arranged.

[@1dolar1note1]

Really like your style, thanks to youtube randomly recommending me your vids lol

[@jaykhan7119]

This video is so well-made that a five year old could understand it!

[@ashleyiannacone1915]

Incredible! Everything about this video is… simply amazing! I will be watching every single one of your videos and subscribing to your Patreon.

[@TheOneTrueAJ]

Holy shit. This is a lot that went into the production of this video! Friggin cool.

[@andkwiat]

Wonderfully made video. Thank you!

[@jezbon]

I just love how you guys work so hard on the good production value, and also the info... and those damn wonderful accents. Oh those accents are wonderful. Lol. I hope the followers keep growing, very deserved. 😊

[@WillieCarpenter17]

Can you guys please do similar videos about different genres!!?!? I love this video so much and I’m more into making hip hop but open for anything and this video helped me more than any of the 100s of videos I have watched looking for simplicity of learning, thank you so much

[@CaptainPikant]

Hi Willie, do you mean something like our "Every Eurodance Song Ever" video? Maybe we'll be doing more of those for different genres in the future :)

[@WillieCarpenter17]

Great video the best down to earth explanation I’ve ever seen

[@veronicamusiic]

I adored this

[@jamesallen5223]

This is amazing thank you!

[@VoodooGear]

Thumbs up for the Smashing pumpkins reference. Jimmy Chamberlin was actually a drum machine. Billy Corgan just had to tell him what he wanted on the drums and he always delivered above and beyond.

[@CaptainPikant]

Chamberlin really is a machine! Glad someone finally got that reference :)

[@etnes10]

Truly amazing video! 🙂

[@jdpower6360]

Now if I could only figure out how to do this on Tanzbär

[@whitneywaddle3671]

made my first drum loop thanks to this :)

So good stop motion

this is so immensely creative and informative, thank you so much for making videos

[@ocelot972]

Learned this on my own back in the day using the drum machine in Reason 2 but had to watch this beautiful video from start to finish anyway! Great work!

[@musicismydrug5208]

Awesome video quality! Never seen something like this congrats for the awesome work!

[@besit]

Fantastic quality of the video production. You are awesome!

[@OllieLoops]

Ridiculously good!

[@supertakumar4728]

Wow thank you, that was wonderful ! I would love to see an episode on guitar pedals used with drum machines and also a deep dive into the short cuts of the Digitakt.

[@CaptainPikant]

Any pedals in particular you're interested in? A Digitakt deep dive is on the radar 😀 We're also assembling a detailed cheat sheet for every drum machine we review, so watch out for the Digitakt review.

[@supertakumar4728]

@@CaptainPikant Hey thanks for the answer ! I'm interested in Flangers (especially with all the knobs turned to the maximum). Two years ago i burrowed a MoogerFooger Mf108 from a friend and used it with a simple Volca kick and the results were out of this world, when you turn the feedback knob of a flanger to the max it gives you some sort of harmonies to your drum (maybe you can try a harmonizer pedal) almost making it a lead synth. unfortunately I had to give the flanger back and i'm now looking for a cheaper pedal.

[@Muz1k1zuM]

I love this so much! Thank you for the info and hard work put into this :)

[@TheoAndHisPedals]

Such a great video for beginners like me.

[@kolmodin25]

You should make a video like this but for synthesizer basics!! THATS would be so cool and helpful. I know I have an hard time understanding synths

This is so cool you really need more exposure. Subscribed
