How To Trigger Software FOR DRUMMIES!

Author: admin  //  Category: Electronic Drum

Welcome to VPT (Virtual Percussion Technology) For Drummies! In this introductory video, we explain how easy it is to set up your electronic drums for use with Triggering Drum Software.

Toontrack Superior Drummer 2.0 / 2.1 is being used here, but you may also use these methods for BFD2, EZdrummer, Addictive Drums and so on.

Keep in mind that VPT is all about 3 things: Real Feel, Real Look, and Real Sounds! VPT is best when you use the RET Percussion electronic drums, VPT Drum Software, and a decent trigger to midi interface like the Alesis Trigger Io.

Alex Alexander-”Electric Djembe” Live prt.1

Author: admin  //  Category: Electric Drum

This is a drum invented by Alex Alexander. It is called the “Electric Djembe”. Everything is played on the drum, there is no midi involved. This drum is wireless, and it is a real African Djembe running thru custom Effects pedals and loop machines.
This is the only drum of it’s kind in the world! This is a Live performance in NYC in 2008. I’ve used this drum on many tours and recordings with artists like Dido, Lucy Woodward, Ritchie Blackmore, Morley and I’ve also done live soundtracks to movies and visuals with it.
