I'm fiddling around with the mpd24 and i was looking for starting reference point for established fingerings/patterns i could practice (because i could make something up of my own, but i didn't want to learn/bark myself into/up a blind alley/dead tree/wrong end).
So i was watching the aswell mpc finger drumming clip on youtube. It's the best one i've found for trying to get a handle on exactly whats happening. Of course, being on youtube the synchronisation is all out of whack, which makes it very tricky to study.
So i did a grab of the video using a os x screenrecorder soft called iShowU (a name i can't help but imagine being spoken in a thick japanese accent) link imported it into Live, rerecorded the audio and aligned it properly with the visuals.
Being able to see what was going on (most of it anyway) I made a diagram of the beat he plays in the first part of the vid (not all sounds included, just the basics). Posting it here in case its useful for anyone else too.
Here's the youtube beatz:

And here''s the diagram:

tanks meang! i'm super excited about the possibility of combining this kind of approach with more complex battery kits, a footboard and live resampling (perhaps using LiSa).. (once my timing is better ;) )

We had some talk about this in a PadKontrol context a ways back: link
(there was a better thread than that but I can't find it now)
What I've settled on is hats/cymbals with the right hand and kick+snare with the left. I suppose a real ninja would do everything with one hand, leaving the other hand to trigger clips or maybe slap people, but we can't all be McRorie I guess.

yeah; i have alll the main drums on the left hand side now so in theory, one day i might be able to play them with one freakishy brainy hand.
im noticing that the pads on the mpd are getting more sensitive the more i bash them, it feels really nice now :D

I'm sure the pads feel a bit different.. if i bash the topmost pads that i never use, its really hard to get them to trigger... oh, i didn't assign any smapples up there :D
