How cool would it be to see Marcus Gilmore perform a tiny desk project. 👌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jamiebridson7871]

He has done a Tiny Desk gig - drumming in the Vijay Iyer Trio, his longtime gig (playing a left-handed kit - Eeeeasily) - but yeah, a set of his own music would be fantastic. Is the world ready though?

[@waynesworldizm]

@@jamiebridson7871 I will have to check that out. I asked as I actually saw him perform here in the UK last year at Ronnie Scotts to a sold out crowd. He performed mainly his own material and I had no pre expectations as I had not heard his music before. What attracted me to the gig is because he is the featured drummer on Ambrose Akinmusire's new album and I was super impressed with that. Also for this gig he had Casey Benjamin on sax. The gig was nothing short of incredible and easily one of the best live shows I have seen in 2018. I know he is working on his own project and I can not wait for that. If your in the New York area you are likely to catch him locally as he does a lot of gigs there unless he is touring and he will be touring with Ambrose in the next few months so hoping to catch him back in the summer. In answer to your question, I'm not sure they are.

Jamie Bridson Also with Gilad Hekselman.

[@TheForgeLover]

By far my favorite drummer ever. His style is so fresh

[@peatmos]

I like that it's a mix of acoustics and the pickups!

[@Daddytang67]

good to see hats and cymbals used here for a more organic feel rather than just relying on samples. beautiful really.

[@brandondrake8092]

Dude. Coolest, most fresh and funky and jazzy drummer ever. I love everything about his playing and he inspires me SO much!!

[@brandondrake8092]

Now I just need to learn how to structure a sentence THEN maybe I can work on my drumming. 😅

[@leinad2934]

[@michaelmalo333]

Are those sounds his own personal samples or from your sample packs ? One of the few people I’ve heard playing your sensory percussion where it actually sounded musical and not just random tapping around 👍🏼

[@jarondavis9795]

Wth would dislike this?????

[@tigerslap]

Inspiring

[@supraphonic88]

Nice gong.

[@Strellock]

This is one of the few videos where going full tilt samples with the Sunhouse sensors doesn't feel like an exercise in randomness. Marcus made it all feel like a band in concert, like a coherent, if limited in scope, piece of music, like he was in control at every moment. But I still feel like this is not the best use for this tech. Best use, and the inherent promise of this kind of tech, is adding nuance to the natural drum sound, like nicer decay tails, or different color attacks or, basically, just whatever it is that a drum kit or a bad room might be missing; Something more outlandish, strange, eccentric, sure, can be cool, but that's at the fringe of what most drummers care for. Where your product is most needed is in helping the natural drum voice speak better, not turn the drum into something else completely. If you manage to communicate this, that you make better drums out of our average sets, and I know your product can do it, you will become huge. These straight samples being triggered, that is parlor trick impressive at best. Not that it's easy, it's not, most drummers would suck at it. But that's not what drummers want or applaud, on an average day; that's not what we wake up wishing for, synths out of the drums; we want better drums! How many drummers dream of turning a floor tom into a limited palette keyboard/sampler instrument?! And can it ever be as expressive or easily controlled as a real keyboard instrument?! Nope. It's like, you gotta be Marcus level to control that deliberately and precisely anyways, to make music as you might want it, not just hope for the best or think up a nice sequence of sounds that you pre-program in a daw. That's not all that impressive as performance art. But managing to bring a more palatable or outright exciting sound to a dusty drum set or to a room that's not all that great or just too familiar? Giving an old set a new, better feel at the touch of a few buttons ? That's pure gold, that's the dream. Managing to put something new and better into a set of drums that enhances the drummer experience, not turn in into something outlandish, and the drum into a controller? That is pure magic!That's exciting! Market more subtly, Sunhouse, understand your client; your client is not a synth lover or a midi programmer that decided to be limited to using 2 sticks, your client is that drummer who wants to have a billion drums in one within one dingy set in some godforsaken basement! That guy who, also, very much so, would rather play a nasty acoustic drum than a classic electronic kit, no matter how fancy that electronic kit might be. A fresh acoustic drum set every day. An inspiring drum set every day. IN SUBTLE WAYS, in precisely controlled and controllable ways, in ways that transport the drummer to that great drum room with unlimited access to all the acoustic drums possible, the best techs, the best mics, great acoustics,etc, etc! I mean if you manage to market that as the core functionality of your product, you'd probably be the best thing since plastic skins replaced calf heads. it will become the thing the average drummer does after we tune our drums, slap the sun controllers, pick the flavor of the day enhancements and off we go. Drummers don't want to be stick wielding synth mad scientists, Sunhouse, drummers want better sounding drums. The end. But now you're marketing the drums as yet another generic midi controller, basically, that's what your average drummer gets from this. Nope, market drums 2.0. Market acoustic drums that sound amazing every time. That in itself is a heck of a mountain, better drums, better rooms, better sound with minimum effort. A billion drum sets in one. A great room in every room. And you can do that, the product can do that, but you gotta communicate THAT if you wanna really catch on and make this tech a must have, continue to improve and grow your company. .. TLDR: Drummers aren't Jean-Michel Jarre of the sticks, Sunhouse, we actually love the drums, so market making the drums better: more exciting drums out of our too familiar sounding drums, great rooms out of our nasty rehearsal spaces; we have little use for these poor replacements for samplers and keyboard controllers out of drums. And we're also not Marcus Gilmore! Oh, and Marcus killed it!

[@arrjee9474]

Strelock Ultimately that better drum sound comes from YOU. No matter what instrument you play the sound comes from your sensitivity, your attack and your finesse. I once heard hank Jones tell an interviewer emphatically , “That sound doesn’t cone from that piano you know”! Matter of fact I was at smalls with Marcus and heard this piano player. I said he sounds good but that piano doesn’t project. Then the next guy played and it sounded like a a grand concert piano all powerful and strong. Marcus looked at me like ahhh ... see?? I heard a listener approach Marcus and complemented him by saying, “... Nice tone” I found that interesting and considered it. His tone is nice but it is because of his playing, not the drums. Larry Bright always made whatever drum set he played sound good. He told me he practiced 16 hours a day to overcome any shortcoming of whatever drum set he played. Your point may have some validity for marketing but if you want a better sound, work at it.

[@meranism673]

Anyone knows what cymbals is he using?

[@francescozanetti88]

@sunhousesensorypercussion which kit is he using? @sunhouse

[@SunhouseInc]

Hi Francesco, these are custom sounds that Marcus put together for the video. There might be some samples from the Sunhouse library, but it's not really possible to know.

[@siddharthmishra1061]

Put some fog around and the scenic view is complete

[@clumsiii]

i swear i could watch a whole set of this shit if he played solo? Count me in
