    I just realized that I don’t think I know a single person who is really good at guitar and ALSO really good at drums. They are always mutually exclusive in my experience for whatever reason. I can tell from that one clip that you have actual drum chops. So yeah, uh, nice!

      Dustin Davidson from August Burns Red plays bass, guitar, and screams during their live shows and can also play/write drums for their albums. He can do it all

    I loved hearing the drums first because I was filling it in with a guitar riff in my head and it is so interesting to see how different what my minds eye and your minds eye came up with!

    Tone-wise, sounds like Loathe, but god that riff is giving me The Saw Is The Law vibes. Love the video, keep em coming!

  • @eemelimakela9362

    Just came across your channel the other day, and love it. I've been spending too much time - for awhile now - getting lost in programming drums for an entire song that doesn't melodically exist, and then wanting to make some new-ass stuff on guitar to accompany the idea I made percussively, but never actually doing it. I overthink it. This doesn't help me out, cause your tone separates you from everyone I've ever heard, including Josh Travis. But it's great to see you doing it in your own process, in a daily format for UA-cam and stuff, constantly pushing yourself to create and create. Also it's most brutal to hear that sound coming out of a Strat

    Nick, question. I bought the exact same ekit. It'll be delivered tomorrow. With the hi hat.. did you have to map individual hihat hits to open, mid closed, closed and then just pedal hits? Like do you have to map all of them in GGD for it to work and sound the way you wanted? I hope this question makes sense. Thanks man!

  • @niels__vdb
    @niels__vdb Рік тому +1

    This one rips hard! :) Maybe try and see if you can lower the threshold for the kick pad to stop triggering the kick's "ghost notes" you were talking about. It might stop triggering when you play below for example 60 (of 127) Hope this helps!

    Question: curious as why you program bass when I know you have a bass guitar you could lay down? More consistency? Hate playing bass? LOVE your content @nickbroomhall 🍻😎

    • @nickbroomhallmusic
      @nickbroomhallmusic  Рік тому +3

      I love playing bass! I prefer to program when I think it'll fit the production of the riff better, usually the heavier/lower stuff!

  • @micallbeard923

  • @TylerSmithMusic1
    @TylerSmithMusic1 Рік тому

    It sounds original, but it reminds me of Colombian faction from volumes with more energy. Your programming is incredible but I love seein you play the drums. I’ve been wanting to do this as well. How hard is it to map GGD to this? Can you track it the same way as a guitar with neural dsp or is it just midi that you program after? This is awesome thank you.

    @TheCrumbleOne Рік тому

    I think you might be sitting a bit low and too far forward for the bass drum pedal, so you've got less control over the pedal, but also you can adjust the drum trigger sensitivity to reduce the false triggers
