    Not that it really matters, but the original “GM drum mapping” came from a little known system created by Roland called the GSS or General Synthesizer System. I was lucky enough to be there during its creation and I vividly remember how difficult it was to convince the musical instrument manufacturers of its benefits. So I thank Mr Kakehashi and Mr Yamabata for their forethought.

      Wow, I actually wondered about it when I heard the word "agreed." I agree with Dom Sigalas that the intent was probably exactly that: so people can play drums like they play the piano. Imagine if the piano keys switched on each keyboard - on one keyboard, the high-pitched notes are on the right side and on some keyboards, on the left side. Some keyboards have extra black keys, some have no black keys. 😄

    Dom, I have played keys and guitar for over 50 years, and programmed drums since the late 70's, but I never saw what fun it was to hand play all those drum notes even though I almost completely memorized GM. Until today. Thank-you so much! What a riot!

    Brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing this technique. Not overstating it to say that this is a life changer. Have programmed some basic stuff from the keyboard but never even thought about upping my game and using the natural tapping rhythms in my fingers. This rhythm guitarist might just turn out to be a half-decent drummer!
