Keep up the good work man from one content creator to another. I see you’re blowing up on KZbin and killing it. I love your covers and creativity. Please keep pumping out the content-I see you being at a million subs in the not so distant future! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@davesterling5106]

Good to know that Distrokid handles covers well! I've been using them for a couple years but didn't know about the covers thing. Rad!

[@johntrimble9337]

I saw a bunch of comments asking for this. The man gives the people what they want! Thanks bro.

[@phillipstrader4884]

Love your covers and stuff but also really love this content too! Very helpful

[@AlexMelton]

Thanks for watching guys, hit the description for a bunch of fun links including the artist that made the background music in this video. If you want more production videos, there are a bunch on my Patreon as well. BYEEE

[@wriglarzzz]

How do you feel about the drums in logic?

[@Grimzlee]

THANK YOU FOR USING MY BEAT FOR THE INTRO ALEX!!! I loved the video!!

[@ItsaJap]

This is an awesome service you are providing! Love listening to your music, also, would really like to see if you could redo your original "All The Time" I can see how much you have improved and personally would like to see that redone. Keep up the great work!

[@benjaminb7544]

Thanks! Just starting to record drums this will help a lot.

[@fpul]

Very interesting to see your process. I've loved your videos!

[@SwitchSong]

Love this, thanks bro!! Would love to see how you also get your vocals. Probably really simple but I don't have much knowledge on how to get great vocals. Thank you again! Love your covers and your music!

[@RyanOConnorDrums]

Do you ever plan on touring after COVID? I'd love to see you live man. I'm a drummer currently earning a degree in music performance right now and it's awesome to hear you're coming from that background.

[@tonyvancheddar]

I'm digging the sound of this VST. I usually use Addictive Drums for my stuff, but I might make the switch. Or at least take it for a test ride.

[@trevor_farthing]

Awesome video man. Would love to see a video on how you produce your guitars as well

[@jayc9940]

Thank you Alex 🙏🙏

[@mintcream7017]

I’ll definitely check out these plug ins, but maybe this comment will help you out: my producer friend taught me to only quantize specific elements, like the kick, and let the rest of the kit stay loose. It’s a small thing but it’s imo the best of both worlds

[@VASSOUNDDESIGN]

Thanks for introducing me to GetGood Drums

[@estehbahn]

Beautiful video

[@Squirrel-zq6oe]

Congrats on 400k

[@JosiahGennell]

Love this video!!

[@immattbailey]

More videos like this year please 😊😊

[@JeffFinley]

What's your opinion on the EzDrummer's Pop Punk EZX that was produced by John Feldman?

[@rolfgustavsonmusic]

Thanks! Great stuff!

[@seighnt]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!

[@eternitymusicbeats]

The "1k like" xd bro those drums are awesome I was looking for a review from this and it was what I expected 🔥🔥

[@tgg_music2]

I'm curious to know if you've tried the Pop Punk One Kit Wonder since it's come out? Also, would love to see more videos from you on your studio/ recording process!

[@sk8rdc698]

Nice job on the vid

[@leesamu]

it is nice !!!! i want see ur compose and chord voicing !!!

[@fouried96]

Why do you quantize every thing? I usually slightly adjust certain hits and makes the whole thing sound more realistic and have more feel to it

[@chrisvalentino7303]

Hey Alex, thanks for the video! Can you please tell me which compressor plugins you are using to make the drum sound fat and punchy?

[@kauanjunqueira]

Please! Make a video explaining your preset on Getgood Drums.Thanks

[@fouried96]

Would love to hear your thoughts on ToonTracks Pop Punk EZX drum kit designed by John Feldmann

[@BeauTylerMakesMusic]

Great video. Have you checked out Butch Vig Drums from NI yet? It's a 16 pad setup but the drum sounds from the pack are KILLER.

[@AlexMelton]

I haven’t but I will!

[@ducoteaw]

@@AlexMelton I was gonna ask the same thing! I just got BV drums the other day and they're pretty rad.

[@OceansideHotels]

Pro tip, but at least in Reason, the midi editor has a "humanize" function that will automatically add some variation to velocity and/or timing to help get that human feel. At any rate, I've been digging your stuff Alex, so carry on!

[@DJKuroh]

Humanize is a little too random for me. I like to edit myself to really emulate how a drummer plays and the difference between lead/offhand. Like when I play piano a chord hit with my right hand will have lower velocity as you move up my fingers until my pinky, but humanize may thumb 100, pointer 100, middle 110 velocity. Some parts call for that to emphasize melodies but leaving that up to humanize.. no thank you.

[@OceansideHotels]

@@DJKuroh Great point. Truthfully, the main reason I use humanize on my setup is so that I get a little more variance in which sample is actually played. I'll do slight velocity changes on beats, but I always do fills or snare rolls manually for exactly the reason you mentioned.

[@hoobastankaaromes]

Love your videos and listen to warped tour music like a skylit drive and also big fan blink 182

[@Hugorod86]

Hey man, Do you know what's a really good drum software to match with roland v-drums? Currently using ez drummer 2 but really wanna upgrade it.

[@anindubandara]

hey, whats the kit you use in your videos? like the hardware pads. Roland TD17?

[@TristXD]

It'd be fun to record it on your own kit though yeah?

[@zacharyfloyd]

I would love to see some drum play through videos of your post Malone songs 😍

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Are the Roland drums just to trigger the MIDI or do you program everything first then just "play the drums" just for video?

[@jpzografos331]

These packs on on sale right now incase any ones interested

[@truman_gamez_tv5063]

Hey Alex, is that the Alesis VI25, VI49 or VI61?

[@jdeanwalsh]

what is that keyboard/drumpad

[@its_lucos]

Hey Alex! You never had any issue mapping the CC/hh pedal inside the GGD? I'm struggling a lot.

[@AlexMelton]

With the Roland kit? Yeah it’s a nightmare. So I routed just the hi hat audio from one of the aux outs on the Roland module and blended it with my GGD kit in pro tools.

[@its_lucos]

@@AlexMelton I’m using an Alesis kit but same issue. nice workaround! thanks for replying man. Keep it up. Love your content.

[@tonyvancheddar]

Notification gang, where you at???

[@TrickyTrav967]

I swear this dude is Rhett Shull lost brother

[@QualityQontent]

Great so why aren't all your covers on spotify?

[@rianaltizo6768]

Me watching not skipping the ads 😊

[@Forest_V19]

GGD is the best in the game.

[@chrisg0001]

I asked who did your drums in a future video before watching this...please disregard

[@noblewilliams6437]

24th comment!!

[@zeclomal2265]

Great video...and that's kinda my problem with modern pop punk. It just sounds fake. If you compare a song from Sum 41, Blink 182, Green day, you know the legendary bands, one of their songs compared to a moder pop punk band you can hear the difference. The mdoern is super loud and all, but it sounds fake and the snare...oh, the snare is like a freaking machine gun.

[@AlexMelton]

This video was made so long ago in the progression of my production. Don’t write off fake drums just from my years old perspective - those legacy bands didn’t even have access to the stuff we have now and it objectively sounds better these days. Maybe not from me since I’m just a dude in a bedroom but the good old days needed a lot more money and resources to achieve those sounds

[@flavanthensome]

@@AlexMelton I would love to see an updated version of your drum production. Especially the worship stuff.

[@trevorbeny5908]

1st comment i think

[@AlexMelton]

U right
