Yes! I'm just about to reboot my channel, and the first thing I'm doing is a massive kick drum training program! My feet have developed a lot from this video and I will share all my knowledge very soon

@@limitlessdrums2680 awesome! looking forward!

Hi, no I'm afraid not. The SX has a different library of sounds. This is Octapad-only goodness!

@@limitlessdrums2680 thanks for the info! your configurations sound really nice tho :)

Oh thanks! I had fun messing with the voice :D

Perhaps something is wrong? I haven't received an email recently - limitlessdrums@gmail.com if you want to connect with me!

@@limitlessdrums2680 Thanks for the reply check your inbox

Excellent! I wrote a bit of a guide to the Octapad that comes with the upgrade, I can send you a copy if you want? Just email me at limitlessdrums@gmail.com

Both great tracks but I played similar beats in the SOR1 covers Are you a fan of the SOR3 soundtrack? I had fun playing those

@@limitlessdrums2680 just love all the three Sor , i used have a Sega Mega Drive on my childhood. And all the 3 sor cartriges.

Thanks! I did SoR2 and SoR3 as well if you like those soundtracks. I did them with a bit more style as well :D

Hi, I play both left and right handed. Are you asking about the standard kits or the ones I made for the Octapad Upgrade pack? Mine are a mix of left and right handed (and footed!), but if you want to change anything you will need to copy and paste things around, yes I don't believe the Octapad has any kind of left-handed setting unfortunately. I hope it's not too annoying to move things about!

@@limitlessdrums2680 Hi, thank you very much for your answer. Yes, I was asking for the standard kits that come with the octapad. Well, I guess I will have to change them one by one I guess. Thank you again!

Hi, you cannot add new samples to the Octapad but you can dive deep into the editing process to transform the sounds.

Hey, no the Octapad is not a sampler. It's more like the drum equivalent to a synth. There are hundreds of sounds, and they can all be modified - but you can't add anything new. Of course it can be used as a MIDI instrument to trigger other software -- but generally if you buy the Octapad it's because you like the Roland sound. I believe my Upgrade pack gets the full potential out of it, but it's all done by editing the sounds that are already there. Hope that helps.

Well, I consider SOR 3 to be on par with SOR 2 or just slightly, (and I stress slightly) just behind the behemoth SOR 2. Bare Knuckle III which was uncensored was superior to the American release. But my main issue with SOR 3 isn't even the music which I actually loved. It's the simple fact that it wasn't as new of an experience as SOR 2 was. SOR 2 was a quantum leap over the original with just about everything improved. While SOR 3's play mechanics are superior to SOR 2, I felt like the colors weren't as vibrant and it recycled the last boss hideout again with very few changes. Regardless, SOR 3 with it's futuristic soundtrack remains in my top 10 as a triumph to the mega drive.

Oh amazing, i'm so glad you're enjoying it!

SadlY no. This is the biggest flaw with the Octapad in my opinion. If you want to to use more than one FX on any kit, you will need to run the Octapad through an FX pedal or a computer with a DAW. My Upgrade contains what I think are the best FX settings you can make across the 99 new kits - check it out if you are curious. Hope this helps.

yep, it works fine with any external pads. just be aware that dual zone won't work as the Octapad inputs are single-trigger

Oh interesting question! Hmmm I believe that MIDI notes are set on a system wide level and not kit-specific. But i'll take a look and let you know!

@@limitlessdrums2680 thank you

For the kick drum you can use any electric drum that has a trigger. Any other kick drum or even a drum pad will work. For the hihat controller, you will need to look up Roland's official compatibility list as the open/close feature makes it unique. Good luck!

@@limitlessdrums2680 a big thanks to you my brother! Thanks for generosity for sharing your idea. God bless you more

fwiw - I have had success using an Alesis kick pad and drum and cymbal pads as external triggers (sensitivity adjustments required). Sadly, the Alesis HiHat controller doesn't work. However, Roland FD8s can be found in the used market at very reasonable prices (i.e. $60 CAD). (BTW with older FD8s, sometimes the internal rubber trigger hardens with age and ruins the sensitivity - but a replacement part is available and easily installed - see youtube videos for this step by step process.) ✌🏼

Hey, I use the Roland PDS-20 Percussion Pad stand. I believe there are cheaper alternatives, just make sure it has the right mounting plate.

I use KT-10 kick drum pedals and the FD-9 hi-hat pedal. Highly recommend both!

hey, I wish I had played a Nord Drum 3P but I don't have experience with that one yet! I think the main difference between the Octapad and similar devices is that here you only get the classic Roland sounds to play with. Since the Octapad first found success, there are many similar products that either work as samplers or have their own built in sounds (like Nord), so it really depends on how you like the Roland sounds. Also Roland build quality is known to be the best in the electronic drum market, and I can attest to that! I've played my Octapad for thousands of hours at this point and it still performs perfectly. Hope that answers your question :)

thanks, just found a store that had all of them.. hmm, they were all really cool to play on I have to say... the pads however are really different.. the octapad is the softest with less rebound, the Nord drum is the slimmest with a snappy rebound of your stick, and the Roland Pro, tjeh new one got the best feel closer to a drum, but stil more rubber softy compared to the V drums.. but V drums only har full kits and I did not find that they have made a mesh Drum Machine... that would definitely be the best choice as the mesh of the V drums are amazing for real feel and re-bounce really on a different level than all of the bad drums... I really cannot say what to choose, the Nord Drum only got 6 pads and if one ad a kick pedal it takes away one pad, not a smart move by Clavia brand to do so... Hope there comes more ones this year... thanks for getting back!@@limitlessdrums2680

Awesome, so glad you enjoyed it! Here are the tracks I used for inspiration, and they're all from different Nerve albums. 2 x drum ‘n’ bass / jungle tracks in style of Jabon / Tetrastigm 1 x 6/8 in the style of To Listen Is To Love 1 x house track in the style of Flood / Hafiz / Weekday Vampire 1 x swing funk in the style of 7even / Loot 1 x syncopated / time displacement track in the style of Exigency / Blacktip Reef Shark 1 x chill out in the style of Pleasure Control / Analog Native

@@limitlessdrums2680 So nice, thaks so much for answer. I have to learn to make better questions because my intention was to know which is the final product you made. I mean, where I can listen the album you made. Because in the link you provide to bandcamp, there are so many albums and my men, I like what you did but I want to listen first the Jojo Mayer Nerve inspired album. Thanks so much in advance.

@@tresvecesno7071 oh haha thanks man, sorry I misunderstood your question! The album is being worked on at the moment as the drums were the very first layer -- when it's ready and released I will hopefully remember to reply to you again and let you know. Thanks for your interest, it means a lot!

@@limitlessdrums2680 Dude, thanks! I really want to hear the album. I hope you the best in the process and please, enjoy the process no matter what the final product. Thanks for what you do.

It's a Roland TD-30 modified with a few extra bits and pieces. I've never tried a Millenium kit, are they decent?

Appreciate you, cheers!

Fellow Alex! So when I'm playing without music in the vid you're hearing Superior Drummer 3, and when it's to music that's coming from the TD-30 module. In both cases I produce my own kits - SD3 is highly recommended if you are into drum production as it's possible to make some amazingly life-like stuff!

Oh yeah, nice thinking. I could see two sides to it. On the positive, more tactile play - acoustic drums just have more 'zones' to hit, more hardware to play, more dynamic range. On the negative, an acoustic kit only has one sound (for the most part) - a big benefit of electric drumming is how you can switch to a whole new sound and genre in an instant. That really helps me stay interested over multiple hours. What do you think would be different?

Big problem is hearing. Electric drums are easier on the ears because you can throttle down. 40 hours of regular drumming would cause a good bit of ringing. The better e kits give you a good bit tactile control these days. Cymbals still suck.

Cheers! The funk tracks I played along to are from this video: ua-cam.com/video/-pklBKQyeAI/v-deo.html

Ah nice, drop some links when you have a musical output going. Won't take long to get those jazz chops back I reckon

Thank you thank you, always appreciate your kind words

That's what an AI would say but the excellent pun makes me believe in you!
