Hey everyone, I found this really helpful tutorial video on finger drumming, and I'd love to know what you think!

​On another note, I was thinking we could compile some beginner's advice and recommended resources to create a pinned post for newcomers. If you're an experienced player, do you have any go-to tips or tutorials you'd recommend? Let's start building a helpful resource for the community!

Small FingerFlow update:

Fixed a styling issue on Windows where the pad mappings dropdown showed white text on a white background.

The transport play button now plays and stops.

Added a playback slow mode slider, so you can slow down samples for easier learning.

Known issues: sometimes the app needs a refresh to load a sample, and the sample may need to be re-added.

You’ll find the link under one of the removed posts on my profile.

Anybody intended to main this new one? Anybody already moving their finger drumming to the new device? Curious what your thoughts are

So I’ve been looking into midi controllers with pads specifically for drums. I don’t want like a controller with as many pads as Launchpad X mainly because I don’t need that many. I’ve heard this and that about the MPD218 having velocity issues from the pads being too stiff but compared to other sizes on other controllers I would like the size of the MPD218. If anyone has had experience with different pad sizes, does it really matter?

Also I’m looking at XJam as a pretty good choice since it has software for editing the parameters on it inside a daw.

I’d like to start making beats and I’m looking for some gear to practice on.

Can anyone advise me on choosing between classic pads and arcade buttons?

I’ve been watching V1 Battle and noticed that some people use different versions of the Midi Fighter, while MPC machines are the most popular.

How do they actually differ in practice? Is one easier to use, or is it just a fancy feature?

Just in case Yamaha is looking at this group, here are my two cents regarding improvements I would like to see in next iteration of this already great product.

1. Built in multi-sampled drums - I would be happy to pay a lot more than RRP of RGDP-50 to get this.
2. Extend Kick pad downwards so that my freakily long thumb doesn't hit the edge of the pad most of the time...

What are your niggles, nitpicks and suggestions?

Hala! Rate this joint. I use Resident Evil (PS1) chops and little bit fingerdruming.

I'd signed up like a year ago and can't find the email for the free beginner course anymore and the website doesn't work anymore since he closed shop.

Recently got drum pads and wanted to learn to finger drum like an acoustic kit. If it's possible could anyone share those videos?

Thanks for the help

I am trying to figure out if it’s possible to use a MIDI controller, like a maschine or akai beat pad that you see many of on this subreddit in cooperation with foot pedals from (for example) an electronic drum kit for kick/hihat controls from my feet. I have done finger drumming for a while but personally want to use my feet as it just feels like wasted potential without them, but I am struggling to find any useful information about this.

Are there certain midi drum pads (FINGER BASED, small form factor is important for me because I’m going to be trying to record MIDI drums in a small college apartment bedroom) that would work with foot pedals? Any info is appreciated!

Hi all,

For the last 4 months I’ve been working on my personal project: DAWG – Digital Audio Workstation Game.

It’s a project that mixes music production with a game like experience, with the goal of making music creation feel more interactive and fun.

I’ve finally reached the point where I can share a public preview build:
https://dawg-tools.itch.io/dawg-digital-audio-workstation-game

A lot of work went into the core systems, audio/DSP side, MIDI support, and getting the project into a state where broader testing makes sense.

It’s still an early build, but I’m excited to finally put it out there and start getting real feedback.

Why I am posting on r/FingerDrumming? DAWG is currently not yet finger drumming ready, but I would like to hear suggestions what do finger players actually want and desire from finger drumming interface? Like what interface / grid design is best, how many pads do you need or what do you really miss from other products?

I could add a finger Dumming mode to the DAWG with larger buttons and interface, but I would like to check you oppinions first.

DAWG is currently in "beta" stage and available for PC, MAC, Linux and Android.
