Finger Drumming Green Day's "Basket Case" on Maschine

- This is a Maschine mk3 performance of Tré Cool's drum part over a drumless version of "Basket Case" by Green Day.
It's not a 1 on 1 copy, since punk rock isn't classical music and the whole point of it is to don't give a f... and just rock out, so that's what I did :-)

Before discovering these UA-cam video's I'd never have thought it was possible to sound so convincingly "real" with finger drumming. I can't believe it, it's an amazing performance. Those fills!
Yeah it's possible! I figured that out and felt like I had to share / prove that to the world, hence the video :-) I also made lots of courses on questforgroove.com sharing how I did it, so other people can learn as well. It is a lot of work, just like any other instrument but possible for sure.

This is more impressive than playing it on a real kit. Holy crap man.
Thank you!! That means a lot.
Request: Everlong by Foo Fighters
Wrote it down! Thanks for the suggestion!
Great job! Everytime I see someone doing something as cool as this I regret buying push 2 instead of maschine mk3 as I'm more of a rythm guy myself...
Yeah push 2 is a quality device but not the ultimate best for Finger drumming. I tried playing on my friends push 2 and the maschine mk3 is definitely more sensitive. It is cool to see how some people control ableton with it though.
Learning the basics of Finger drumming can be done on a push though. And once you want to take it to the next level you can switch.
Maybe if someone would buy you push for 500 dollars you only have to chip in another 100 and then get a maschine. Or maybe there's someone who actually would rather have a push 2 than a maschine...
I've been learning finger drumming on a push 2 now for a few months(82 day streak and counting on Melodics haha) and love it! There's also pad sensitivity and pad gain options in the Setup menu(button is in the top-corner of the Push 2) that make it plenty dynamic as well.
Awesome! Love all the fills. Watching this gave me an idea for a video you could do. Finger drumming techniques for drum solos. Obviously you need to get a solid groove going for a song but what about when you get a solo? Just a thought🤔.
Yeah that's a thing to address at some point. I don't feel I'm quite at the point where I can effortlessly play stuff to the extent that I can just freely play awesome shit but once I get there I'll teach It!
Went I see this video I keep me want to play finger so hard......and I want to buy Machine Micro Mk3 today
Woooaaa... thats crazy... Nice
Yeesss!!! Green Day!! So COOL🤘🏻Love it‼️
Play meshuggah bleed :)
I like the way you use this thing btw. It seems like everyone is just doing edm and techno music.
Thanks! I'll put it on my list. I'm not doing as many covers right now because the videos get copyright claims en often get hidden from the public, in which case I went through all the trouble for nothing :-)
Hey @Nicolas, Check my cover of Death's Symbolic.

Completely right handed…
Your level to this cover it's my target now 😍
Best fingerdrumming had saw in my live
you are a beast ❤️🔥
I think you are great. Awesome cover!
Thank you so much! I actually just recorded two more covers that I'll publish after the breakbeat course next month.
heys awesome playing exactly what i am looking for! no one else as far as i searched do something like this with drum pads. i am looking to getting these drum pads to play drums, but i see that on garageband on the ipad you can do the same. but i hear this thing has velocity sensitivity? does that mean that if you touch it lightly, the drum will sound soft, and if you hit it hard it will sound loud? and will the pad be able to change the drum sounds to reflect all the details?
i've been looking for a video to demonstrate this but can't find any, could be a good video to show it if it actually works like that. been watching a lot of your videos to learn about drum pads and finger drumming and you're #1 and the go to guy for it :3 thanks for making and sharing these videos~!
Hey I think you understand it quite well! Yes, the device I'm playing has velocity sensitivity which means a soft touch sends a soft midi note and a hard tap sends a loud midi note and everything in between. In most cases you then need drum emulator software to accurately translate those midi notes. I always use Addictive Drums 2 for this. Great program with great realistic sounds (as you can hear in this video. This is the Fairfax 1 kit I believe). Right now, the best rig to get is still a regular computer / laptop with a cheap audio interface like the Focusrite Scarlett solo and Addictive Drums 2 software. Then you have great sound, almost no latency (which is important for accurate timing of your drumming) and all relatively affordable. One final tip: Wait until Addictive Drums has a black friday or haloween sale. Usually youll get 50% off! Step by step setup guides can be found on my website for free: questforgroove.com/course/beginnercourse/
@@TheQuestforGroove heys thanks so much for the quick reply Quest!
ah ic, wow super cool that the velocity pad also senses everything in between! thats really amazing.
yeah i searched for fairfax vol 1 and it sounds so good! exactly what i was looking for!
yeah laptop, daw, focusrite, AD2, maschine mikro mk3!
ah cool, great sound, almost no latency, yeah true its important for timing.
ohmygosh thanks for the tip to wait for a black friday or a halloween sale. the price did shocked me at first, but i guess this is the price to pay if you want good quality stuff. a 50% off will be really good to have! thank you!
thanks so much for the link and the step by step setup guides! i've already visited your website and its really nice and comprehensive~! will definitely be reading up on it and checking out the beginner course~! thanks so much for making it and sharing it for free for beginners!
thanks so much again for everything~! super much appreciated!

Very cool!
hell yea!
Yup!!! You should play a game horse with a drummer armed with his drum set.
Incredible skills man
You should do more covers of famous songs like this, great job and playing
Thanks! I had some annoying experiences with youtube and copyright and cover songs so I sort of try to stay away form it and make my own songs to play along to :-) But I agree it's fun if it's a song you know. Maybe I'll try another one in the future@
You changed your pad layout for this song 🤣? Amazing performance btw! Love your content since I discovered it
A little bit. I think its only the sidestick pads that are now shallow rimshots but thats it!
Dope as fuck!
What is the kit used to do this?
I have the full version of NI
It's a drum plugin called "Addicitve Drums 2". Theres a starter pack available with 3 kitsch you can select yourself. I mostly use Fairfax 1, Black Oyster and Funk. I did a video about loading it into Maschine >> ua-cam.com/video/1AQMPAXj9f8/v-deo.html
By the way: If you have Komplete, the Abbey Road 70s list would also sound very good!
Very cool!
E P I C
makes me wanna try harder. i'm on day 2 with a akaia lpd8 on mpc beats, wish i had 16 pads now.
AKAI MPD218 HERES A LITTLE BULLET FOR YOU GUYS IF YOU'RE DIGGING THE GREEN DAY ua-cam.com/video/nEfpVp2rGXI/v-deo.html
I noticed you look away from the pads a lot. Is this intentional?
I ask because I do it too. I've found that if I try to watch my fingers, I start to fuck up and get confused. If I don't look, I do fine.
First of all not looking is indeed better. Also helps with listening! Second of all, I think I turn my head mostly because it helps me focus... it could have been something else, like making a stank face, but nowadays I always do this... Anyhow, try and sit /stand up straight and not look at the pads, because that is good for sure!
brilliant, well done man
HERES A LITTLE BULLET FOR YOU GUYS IF YOU'RE DIGGING THE GREEN DAY ua-cam.com/video/nEfpVp2rGXI/v-deo.html
PRIMUS PLZ
What drum plug in are you using in this song?
Addictive Drums 2. I think this was the Fairfax 1 kit!
Dont you feel thst there is not enough pads to play drums? Thats why im thinking about ableton push 2
It seems to be enough for me honestly. If you're going for 64 pads, also look into the launchpad pro mk3!
@@TheQuestforGroove but you switched from maschine mk3 to ableton push 2?
What kit did you use in addictive drums
I think this is a hybrid between Black Oyster and Fairfax 1
nice performance
Oh my this is so cool pls keep uploading finger drumming vids pls!!!
Will do!

How long does it take for you to do something like this? I assume there are two phases: figuring out what the patterns are at each part of the song, then getting the muscle memory down / memorizing them? How long does it take at each step? Or do you just mostly have enough good intuition at this point that you can skip straight to playing it?
This took me quite some time. Indeed, first figuring everything out. I am fast at that, but then I will slow down the track and practice for like 3 days super slow, then speed it up, again 3 days and then the week after that I move to full speed and nail the song. But It's safe to say that something like this would take me two weeks. But not 2 weeks of only doing this. Just 2 weeks of regular practice sessions.
@@TheQuestforGroove Thanks so much for the response! I think explanations like this can help newbies anchor their expectations realistically and not get too demotivated when they can't figure it out in a few minutes.

Impressive. That is why I signed up for QFG.
This is fantastic!
Thank you! Took my a couple of years to get to that point, but it can be done for sure!
Bro please write to Melodics and make your own tutorial in this program I want to see
I made one lesson for melodics about how to play reggae. I'll ask them if it was a success :-)
I'm also going to add a tutorial about how to play this song to the advanced techniques course on my website! I think that's the beat place because then you will understand the techniques used. Stay tuned!

Whiteout by Warpaint 🙂 Stella is one of the grooviest drummer out there.
Dit is gek! Wow!

tres cool
haha, exactly :-D
U rock!!
What's the drum kit u are using here?
Thanks! This is addictive drums 2 Fairfax 1 kit.
Loved it!
Another question mate... What pad sensitivity do you like/prefer the most between maschine mk3 and mk2? I have heard that the mk3 pads are bigger but less sensitive.
I've not played mk2 but mk3 pads are very, very sensitive. You do have to set their sensitivity in maschine software and/or controller editor.
Awesome! 👍
Awesome
Amazing! Bravo!
Amazing brother
Awesome!
Holy shit dude, great job
Thanks!
Can I just keep you in my studio in the corner by my Guitar when I need a sick drum track . 😂
haha, you do have to feed me unfortunately, otherwise I won't last long!
Fuckin bad ass! Are you using a different drum pack or is it stock sounds in maschine?
Haha thanks! This is addictive drums Fairfax 1 kit I believe. Not the native sounds in maschine. That sounds way less 'real'. More electronic stuff.
I already watched this soo many times!
Haha, thanks man. If you set your mind to it you can learn to play this too!
DOOOOOOPEE!

Yes mikro mk3 will be just fine!

Love this! Feel up to trying out Beep Street(or anything, really) by Squarepusher? Haha I'd love to see ya going at it weaponizing the note repeat function 😄
I might do that! I have a couple of other types of videos in the pipeline atm but after that, it's on my list :-)
@@TheQuestforGroove Really? Haha awesome! I'll keep an eye out for such a thing(and your other uploads as well, of course 😄). Cheers! ✌️🤠
sick...excellent drumming...wished I liked the music tho
Theres some other songs in other styles on this channel as well! Tried to demonstrate a wide range of stuff, so maybe there will be something more to your liking :-) what's your favorite music if I may ask?
The Quest for Groove somewhat inspired by you, you will find The answer on my UA-cam channel (some eraly fingerdrumming vids there to) not really comparible, but if i wanted The mk3 to be drums, i might just go for an actuall drumset. This maschine is another type of instrument imo, it has other possibiltys, wich is not better or worse, just different and with that opens a new way to create a live set. Love and respect and bless your breakfast!

cool stuff!!
Thanks Ed!
Hey Robert! It’s amazing to me
That you can do these rapid hits consecutively on the pads. Is this something you can accomplish on just the Maschine mk 3 with the included drum software such as the Abbey Roads kits?
Yeah this can be done with abbey road kits for sure! Dont know it theyre included with maschine... i own them from the komplete bundle. Cheaper controllers like the mikro mk3 are also perfectly fine by the way.

SIIICK 🤟😵
Haha thanks!!
Sound was so good. Let me know the drum plugin name please?
Addictive drums 2! I always recommend getting the Fairfax 1, Funk and Black oyster kits. You can get all sounds out of those. I think this one is mostly Fairfax 1
@@TheQuestforGroove that's cool
And one more question.
I want to buy finger drum controller. Please suggest one. around $150 to $170
I can recommend the maschine mikro mk3 for a little more ($250). Best 4x4 for the money by far.
Otherwise the launchpad X (8x8 for $200) and if it really has to stay below that I would go for a second hand "white" korg pad kontrol, maybe a second hand maschine mikro mk2 or mikro mk3 (but they have to give you the software license as well) and otherwise a presonus atom for $150.
@@TheQuestforGroove Thanks man ♥️
Is it possible to use a foot trigger to the kick drum on the pad? It would make this feel like more of a drum set.
Well, yes and no. Plugging in a foot trigger into the maschine doesnt send the right type of signal.
Youd have to get some sort of e-drum module with midi out and then just use that. So it'll mean you're using two devices and two midi inputs to control 1 drumkit. That's possible for sure but not super duper easy I'm afraid.
@@TheQuestforGroove you can control the type of signal it sends within native's 'controller editor' ... the pedal can trigger notes and more ;)
Oh wow, thanks for that info. My guess is you need a standard stage piano pedal thing though, not a real hihat foot pedal from roland or something. I had one of those and it does not seem to output midi. It sends another type of signal for e-drums.
@@TheQuestforGroove i just used a regular foot switch from korg and it works well. i guess you're right about the e-drum modules tho. keep up the great work!
Was this played with a backing track without drums?
Yes it was. A lot of songs can be found in the depths of the internet, ripped from games like rockband, without the drums so you can play along to the actual music!
@@TheQuestforGroove i see... these are original or re-recorded by musicians?
Original. Just like in the rockband games. Pretty cool!
@@TheQuestforGroove how are you running the backing track?
You just put it in your DAW program (digital audio workstation like logic, ableton or cubase) and then you create a separate drum instrument. (I use addictive drums 2 for that) and then you can just jam away.
This was amazing! Can you do a finger drummed Tom Sawyer too, by Rush?
Thank you so much! I'll write it down, but I cannot make any promises. The problem with drum covers is the copyright. i don't care about the ad money but the problem is that the video can get blocked all of a sudden. Had that happen before, so I'm less eager to do drum covers of "real" songs nowadays. I do try and put some self made songs with fun drumming on here once in a while.
@@TheQuestforGroove I completely understand. I just got my Maschine Mikro MK3 last Friday and I am completely blown away by your extremely high level playing. Hopefully one day soon I can do some great drumming on mine too because I sure can't play an actual drum kit 🤣. Thanks for the great music!
@@TheQuestforGroove Hey Rob. Groove is definitely Everything! Great Site, Teaching, and Videos. I have been watching your site for a couple of weeks. I am a Guitar player, using the Reaper DAW as well, and want to do demos (as the Meat and Potatoes of my songs and bring them later to real musicians). I am looking at joining your courses soon, and to purchase the Maschine MK3, along with the Addictive Drums 2, and as you state/quote on your QFG forum to get:
"Addictive Drums 2 as the 6 kits is probably a good idea if you can afford it.
In order from most important to least:
• Black Oyster (this one is just great for practicing because all the sounds are very clear)
• Fairfax 1 Fairfax 2 (*Maybe) (very versatile)
• Funk (because I use some of the kit pieces in my presets for the courses)
• Blue Oyster (to me this comes close to a nice drum kit in a worship type environment… great room tone)
• Session percussion (these sounds are unlike any other drum sound so nice for variety and some extra percussion parts when you need them)
• Indie (just a nice, versatile, fat sounding kit)"
@@Beshinemusician Wonderful! I think you made a good choice of kits. I hope to see you on the website and he messageboards there. I'm around every day!
@@TheQuestforGroove I Appreciate that. After I get setup and practicing, I would then like to see how you are inputting the drum parts for songs in Reaper?
Is there anyway of making a living (money) from doing this (finger drumming). I am getting into it and would like to know if I can make it into a living and how
I cannot predict the future but there's lots of people in need of good drum tracks for their productions 24/7 so if you become a professional that can churn out great sounding original grooves upon request I bet there's a market for you out there.
Personally I would use finger drumming as a way to develop yourself as a musician and learn how to be a good producer as well. Learn a harmonic instrument like the guitar or piano as well, learn how to record and mix music, work with a DAW, stuff like that. I think the glorydays of the studio drummer / pianist /guitarist are over and most of them will be replaced by studio-everything people who can do more than one thing and do it fast.
It's hard making a living in the music business though and if you're just getting started you have to be willing to invest years and years of hard work before getting your first paycheck as a musician. The best reason to invest your time in something like this is because you love it and playing makes you happy. :-)
The Quest for Groove Thankyou, I’m not sure if you have seen Asadi, he plays the maschine I’m wondering if it’s possible to make a living like him playing live remixes etc with the maschine, can you do gigs etc with the maschine doing finger drumming etc ?
I know Jeremy Ellis plays live sometimes and even played some gigs with The Roots (nice band). And there's a lot of setups where a musician plays along with a DJ in clubs here in Amsterdam. I bet a fingerdrummer could be part of such an endeavour.
The Quest for Groove thanks you yes Jeremy Ellis is also a good one, I will have to look into it more on how I could also do the same🤔, Thankyou
lol
