Just a review: First off go ahead and even try to find anything else on this subject, there is not a lot. Andreas has put together the finest teaching available on finger drumming. It is so detailed and the progression is perfect. It is challenging, but the best path to feeling like a real drummer…

A few years ago I saw Jeremy Ellis play finger drumming on Youtube. It was awesome, so I started to search for some information about finger drumming. I have tried MPC, MPD, Maschine, and Ableton Push. I have tried to create my “custom” layout, but all the pad layouts were just not right for me….

There were always more samples than I needed or could even remember and I didn’t sound good playing them. I got Korg PadKontrol, a 4×4 pad controller, just to help with production…
