The song is Timewave Zero by BadBadNotGood: https://badbadnotgoodil.bandcamp.com/track/timewave-zero

I’m curious to know which of the xpress pads finger drumming courses apply to the drums in this track? What is the style of drumming in this song called?

Any direction or advice would be greatly appreciated :).

Hey LesureSuitLary,

Cool song!! – Yes, you can absolutely play the drum track of this song entirely with XpressPads technique.

Well, the style of the song is a bit mixed-up I’d say… I hear retro pop / rock / funk plus breakbeat / drum n bass nicely combined.

This will be fun to play with the XpressPads technique.

Cheers!

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for your response :).

So if I’m understanding correctly, I’ll have to learn the entire course in order to become proficient enough to play the drums in this track, is that correct?

Well, there’s quite a lot going on on the drum track of that song. Some of the techniques I hear are taught in the Advanced section of the Core Program. Depending on how eager you are becoming a finger drummer, it will take a few to some months until you’ll be there. ?

BUT what I’d like to mention is that it’s this type of music (very organic, lots of drumming techniques applied, big variety of grooves, lots of fills) that is very fun to play with the XpressPads finger drumming technique.

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for everything. I’ve bought the full course program. It would be good at some point in the future to perhaps demonstrate breaking down the drum pattern grooves (such as in the track I linked to), then showing how the xpress pads finger drumming could be applied to it.
