Zendrum

An example of how I am using Ableton Live 8 with my Roland FC-300 and my Zendrum Z4. Check out my website at www.pocket-master.com.

[@AlfaazzMusic]

[@sahilnadkarni5666]

How To Buy This , Can Anyone Help

[@PPSDPII]

Yo cool lol, I did

[@adiblasi]

This was a great demo - thank you so much for creating this for everyone to see!

[@minecraftjunkie959]

hey Sgt. Anderson! you came to my highschool today and i greatly appreciate you coming! you should do it again next year!

[@jetdrums1]

Great video Rob! All the possibilities! After playing drum kits for 40+ years I am ready to settle down with the Zen for smaller coffee shop gigs. Your video was really informative. I have alot to learn! Keep up the great work!

[@DrDingsGaster]

This is fantastic! If I were a percussionist I'd love to get my hands on one of these.

[@charliemay5758]

Good work mate. Loving that Zen.

[@EBMZEQUENZER]

The best customer service on the planet. Dave is an incredible person ..... Also the Zen community is out of this world ..

[@bucketofbarnacles]

I hope the maker gave you a commission for such an awesome demo!

[@dinoarmendariz1]

thanks for taking the time to share really enjoyed the presentation learned much fro you

[@citronsaftmusic]

Nice! As a regular multi-instrumentalist I reallly enjoyed seeing this weird instrument in action. Thank you.

[@JOEMACHINE]

Nice drumming man! your groove sounds natural. I hope to start with the Zendrum in a couple of years. Cheers Joe

[@KamilAyyoob]

this is amazing... bro👍👍👍

[@Mikej1592]

cool, Ed O'Neill plays the Zendrum. seriously though, I never even heard of the Zendrum till today great video. Nice custom features you've added. I knew Roland made electric sets with pads but never knew something like this existed. Since this was uploaded 4 years ago I doubt you will even see this comment but I will check and see if you have any newer videos with better audio captured. Seriously cool drum, and great playing style to make it sound like you were playing on a full size set.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

REZendrum It's pretty much a Drumitar shaped like a Kantele (Trapezoidal Zither).

[@wolfmannoon]

Sweet!! i love your rigg!

[@hypnosapien]

Very nice! Great technique.

[@DavidGallo747]

Lots of fun to open all the videos at once XD

[@DieterLo1]

Interesting, never saw it before! Greetings from Germany!

[@flowcrastinator]

Very nice control.

[@andyarm]

Very, very cool. May be time for me to upgrade. Great job.

[@willdatsun]

[@CorinGatwood]

[@TheMichaelseymour]

Ah !...you got my joke !! Well , well done sir -greetings, all the way from wintery melbourne australia !

[@alaskankyle1]

[@letsgopunkgirls777]

[@jungleb]

Legend, thanks!

[@KawaiiHittchan3]

really cool

[@Bozzorius]

very nice!

[@hectorrosales9812]

very informative............ think I may want one

[@MagiMysteryTour]

I bet Ringo and Karen Carpenter would have both loved this.

[@jamesha175]

you did good and i bet it actually sounds good if properly amplified.

[@LaloRojasSax]

With the mixosaurus library you will have it all!!! Have you tried those sounds? Congratulations! You play, look and sound great with your instrument!

[@RockManAU]

Thanks for sharing Rock On

[@eldoradoveinte]

It's amazing!... =D

[@BIGMIKEWELCH]

[@timothyvaughn1227]

[@naomiripper4091]

But.. ... does it djent??

[@eatmarth]

[@robob3ar]

cool, sounds legit

[@AmitGautam-kn7lt]

❤nice

[@Router2525]

You are awesome dude. If only I could cut your hands off and had your knowledge. Just kidding on the hands. But this video was very good. Never saw one of these before. Good Luck.

[@rickwatson9105]

[@stilllearningtruth]

Holy shit Al Bundy sure can get down on the zendrum!

[@yargooak2722]

[@bbqchickenwingsofredemptio449]

pocket monster master!!!

[@Waxlimbs]

Gnarly!

[@augustocambiaso5]

buena gooordooo

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

Hello Rob. Do you know if Zen currently manufactures a controller built specifically the way yours is?

[@subhendutheking]

Please tell me how the Roland Foot controller is working WIRELESSLY?! :O

[@renzovargas1025]

where can i buy one!

[@menimitatingmachines]

Hey man, you have no cables from your pedal to the mac?? Am I missing something cause that would sort out so many problems. Could you please tell me how you have done that?

[@majorleehigh]

I am gonna get one of these eventually! Also has anyone said Al Bundy yet?

[@evilsnox6830]

he looks al bundy as fuck

[@joshuasonavane5056]

Please can you assist me in purchasing a Zendrum

[@kochertv8795]

That's a wired looking chain you got there!

[@claymationwaves]

5 min mark that is stupid awsome

[@TheMichaelseymour]

one question...would you still put this on a drum riser ? - and how do you twirl your "stix "{fingers} ? thank you.

[@Tchouization]

waaaaaw!

[@caijunlong]

is it dynamic sensitive? 0 to 127?

[@elementsrecordstm3321]

Hey brother m a multi percussion player.. Dont know why this Model of the zendrum isnt available to buy in INDIA

[@REZendrum]

They are hand made in Atlanta, Georgia USA. Go to Zendrum.com. You can see all of the available body styles and you can pick from many different colors and woods.

[@IBZI7]

looks more responsive than my Akai drumpad

[@DougFalcon]

I thought this was pretty mediocre. Then 4:10 and he broke it down sicknasty like.

[@AnkushsinghD]

What is the cost of zendrum in india

[@akhilpatil65]

Around 1.9 lakhs

[@casbah1982]

Oh crap, I totally didn't think you'd actually read the comment! Please don't take offense, I was totally joking. Thanks, but I'd rather not visit the website; I'm a bit if a stikler to non electronics; but you are hella talented at this invention. Peace, and once again, no offence intended.

[@BoyAditya]

this zendrum is hype in early 2000s ... now everyone use ipad, which pretty much the same function :-D

[@babayaga1767]

about 20 years after roy wooten did it.

[@st.apollonius5758]

Can you play "Don't laugh at me cause I'm a fool" by Norman Wisdom?

[@randyclere2330]

Can YOU play dead?? piss off

[@YnseSchaap]

I wonder how zen the price is

[@doncolga08]

+Ynse Schaap They are a pricey, but you're getting a ton of functionality, ease of setup and transport.

[@dzre2087]

PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER VID WHERE YOU ONLY PLAY.

[@Couscous43]

I'd like to see you play Led Zeppelin's Moby Dick with this instrument.

[@andersonramos1640]

Gos tei loco loco

[@ilpeish]

Cool, you look like the guy from modern family lol!

[@EaselCat]

All that great equmptment and the sound quality is poor.

[@TheMichaelseymour]

i will rezendrum ol' boy ! How much are they ? {roughly} I might subsribe to your channel ..i never even knew these things existed ...i have been looking at one of those compact little pad drum things ...maybe this is better ,anyway... i'll keep in touch and track your progress - thanks mate .

[@Almarad]

Now play The Dance of Eternity

[@EBMZEQUENZER]

+Alejandro Sandoval I get it man .... This is not a drum kit but stuff you can play with it as a percussionist .. I own three of them and would never part Cheers

[@schweizergoth]

lol pocketmaster. sounds like peewee herman in a theater xD

[@Drewmmusic9]

This is comedic to me for some reason that I am not sure of...

[@guywhoplaysbass]

open the video with playing the instrument. the lay person on youtube is gonna think "gee that looks like a cool instrument! what does it sound like?" when you bombard viewers with jargon and useless information they probably won't even finish the video. after they're impressed with your skill, then you can say anything you want and the viewer won't care.

[@apzzpa]

Nathan Robb You have good point but I wouldn't say the information is useless. The more you know about how MIDI works the more possibilities of sounds you can create

[@KAKASHIHATAKE-vg2dh]

Suleman

[@Expry]

._. holy fuck

[@ErnestFaizullin]

чтобы придумать такой кайфовый инструмент, автор видимо не голодал

[@hectorrosales9812]

so, this guy looks like Ed O'Niel.... am I the only one?

[@cooper9287]

For a musician your audio on this video is horrible. Didn't you edit? Cool set up though.

[@apinakapinastorba]

So it's just a piece of wood with drum pads? A Drumtar? Right.

[@TheJohnSanderson]

Al Bundy.

[@xzivriel]

Your playing is good, so is your technique and the way you explain it. But for me it just can't be drumming... I mean where is the pleasure of beating the crap out of a snare and feeling the deep low end of a bass drum ??? Anyway it's still a good vid you may need to work a bit on the audio recording. Maybe one day we could see you behind a real kit ;)

[@TheMichaelseymour]

yep...you better believe it ! Our brains do too - i think . Still ... as backward as we are ...we have FREE health care for ALL citizens . Sadly ...i know your countrymen have no such luck ...they are not as mobile as your good self - playing drums ....keeps you fit ...but ,er, ...not that kit though ! Maybe you will develop "super thumbs " .... anyway , its obvious you must play an acoustic kit -because your bloody good ! B.t.w -its 1.15 pm in melb - whats your time ,CHEERS!

[@Rickzenbackzer]

I don't really understand the point of this because if you're playing live you want an actual drum kit not samples from a PA, and if you're recording you want an actual drum kit too....

[@doncolga08]

+Gonk Live drums can certainly be great, but sampled can absolutely be great as well. Just another means to an end. I saw a band with one of these triggering a late 80's drum module and the music was amazing. Audience loved it.

[@Rickzenbackzer]

+doncolga08 Actually yeah i can imagine it being very good for 80s type drums and more electronic music where the drums are samples anyway.

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

+Gonk To me, this sort of controller means that the drummer is able to get out from behind the kit and actually perform. If I hadn't switched from drums to guitar myself, I would be using a Zen drum of this sort today. Especially after having learned about Futureman. Guys/gals like Ringo, Don Henley, Phil Collins, Nigel Olsson, Karen Carpenter, Micky Dolenz (yes he learned to really play), Levon Helm and Dennis Wilson who could sing and keep the beat at the same time have always rocked my world. If the singing comes first, this is what I would recommend to them.

[@dzre2087]

+Gonk a SMART drummer -- who tours or busks or gigs -- does NOT carry some large stupid kit. Yes, a real kit is great, but DUMB AS SHIT in a zillion situations. (What takes up most of a tour van or car? DUMB BIG DRUMS.)

[@bLackmarketRadio]

Terrible compression.

[@DerekHartley]

+Clay Old 4 year old video, not his fault.

[@bLackmarketRadio]

+DerekHartley I wasn't aware that proper compression techniques were discovered within the last 4 years...

[@DerekHartley]

I didn't say they were either, but KZbin was pretty awful back then again. Most audio issues on KZbin videos are down to the compression they used back in the day.

[@BIGMIKEWELCH]

it would be cool to hear you play more and talk about it less

[@sokol358]

Get real drumms bro. More fun

[@dzre2087]

+sokol358 NOPE. Big Drums are for DUMB people.

[@dzre2087]

Inefficient, etc.

[@sokol358]

+Empire Goodness dumb is chill bro

[@felixknight8211]

+sokol358 All a manner of preference. There are loads of people that prefer midi controllers. Also a lot of performance options you get with midi controllers, practically infinitely more, than you get with a kit.

[@eiknaththakur6773]

Wht a crap

[@casbah1982]

Sooooooo, why doesn't he just play real drums? Sounds like he'd be really good at drumming, and real drumming has GOT to be more satisfying than this impressive, yet silly and rather useless invention. But he is really good at it

[@DrummerGrrrl]

Blah blah blah blah blah..rimshot, added percussion, more detail that I will go into later...blah, blah, blah, sometime in the next year I will actually PLAY this stupid looking thing, blah blah blah.

[@tombones99]

Way too much talking, not enough playing.

[@Justbase]

amateur

[@58belvedere]

Get a real drum set and skip the bs

[@dzre2087]

+58belvedere WE SMART PEOPLE don't use Big Stupid Drum Kits. Takes forever to set up. (My roland drumpad takes literally 15 SECONDS to set up. 3 seconds to break down.) If you TOUR, a Big Drum Kit is even dumber (unless you're rich and have huge vehicles). NOT EFFICIENT. Yes, Big Drum Kits are great in a zillion ways, but INEFFICIENT in most ways. (This guy can play on any SMALL stage with any number of musicians. He can play with musicians in a tiny bedroom or practice. Big Drums CANNOT.)

[@hugonao]

you need to play more and talk less, talk too much
