What do you think of this idea???

So some of you might know about the Korg Wavedrum. It's a cool product for being a electronic drum, but it doesn't include midi. (I have no idea why Korg dropped the ball on that one) Now most of you do some boom bap beats with pads and samples, but instead of doing that.....

"Perform" a beat on a Korg Wavedrum, and have the sp sample the performance. You can then add effects, chop, and come up with some more organic rhythms that you yourself performed, but you can also mess around and give it your own flavor with the sp.

If nothing else, you can easily create your own drum samples with this method. (And quite a sound library of custom samples)

Think this is something worth exploring?

If it interests you, of course its worth exploring! There's things this can do an SP can't like tonal variation by putting pressure on the skin, the kind of stuff a real drum does.

Personally I'd be more interested in the Yamaha DTXMulti12 or Roland HPD20 to do what you're talking about. For a start both have midi & more contact points to play. Haven't looked into prices but don't expect gear like this to be cheap, even as 2nd hand.

I wouldn't really consider myself a drummer, but it's pretty much a portable conga drum that can do alot more, and there's even a mini version if I can't justify this model. It would be a detour in what I'm out to accomplish, and yet, it could be alot of fun to take the lesser used path. I don't think I've seen anybody try this idea on youtube, so if it's something that works for me, I guess I better get a video camera!! But I do have other purchases to get out of the way, so I'd be in no hurry to get one.

You should go with it and incorporate it into your own style.
Creative freedom to express originality.

Cool, I think it will be on my wishlist, but hard to say when I'll go out and look for it.

Cool, you discovered sampling.

I've owened the 202, 303, 606, and now I just got the 505 today, so I've "discovered" sampling for quite awhile, dude. I posted this idea, since I've never really seen anybody out there sampling a live drummer. Yeah, they might sample a live drummer for a cd-rom for beat making, but I hadn't seen anybody out there sampling a live drum on the sp, spicing it up with some effects, and then making a new beat from what was performed.

from a fisherprice playtime keyboard for kids to a buchla modular synthesizer, im pretty sure everything has something to offer sampling-wise... its not like you need other people's opinions to decide what u should get or not for your own musical productions. u feel me?

I sampled live drumming on the sp. Me as an amateur at a friends house.
Vinyl sim that shit..awesome.

You can put anything you want in the SP.. go loose b!

When I first started making beats, I didn't have crates to dig in but my father's and brother's collection and that was forbidden to touch them. Late at night I would grab as much my muscles could bare and recorded what I wanted on cassette to sample later. That was cool and all but I had no drums. I began sampling the drum kits of a Yamaha PSR-19 and that was my father's too. Yes, I grew up in concentration home. Anything that made sound and had an output I was sampling it. One time, I had a cold and had the sniffles and I had the mic on while making a beat. I worked on the beat the day before so I knew something was distinct about the snare because my nose-sniffs was on time with the snare and made it sizzle and cracking. And thats what I sampled, my nose sniffling.

The world is your playground dude. Just saying.

SP-FORUMS
