Dang, that sounds sweet. Some of those accents are spot on, eh? I hope finished in time to go under the tree!
Looks like this will end up intercepting my Drambo funds.
Thanks, great playing. Do you come in an iOS app version?
Nice playing! You sure can swing.
Oh, I missed that! Very awesome when it spreads out to his other kit/apps. I wonder if we’ll be able to sequence cymbal hits (crash/crash2/splash/choke) soon ... someday ... would be quite handy for me
It really does. Although, like the other Lumbeat apps, I assume it won't be AU. Which is not really a deal breaker for me. But while I love the grooves I can get in Future Drummer great, the kits in FD really limited. Wish they could be expanded. Or if FD could easily drive other samples? Anyone have success doing this?
Surprised there wasn't some IAP kit action to be honest....
I sometimes record the midi from FD (or other Lumbeats apps) and then export that into NS2 and assign different samples, but it is not a very quick task to make it rational. Lumbeats maps sounds in a quirky way - samples are assigned by velocity and often don't just make sounds louder or softer, but change the actual instrument. So an F#1 at 60 velocity is a closed hat, but F#1 at 120 velocity is an open hat or possibly a ride cymbal (depending on the kit). I suspect it's designed that way so there is no need for choke groups. At least, that's my suspicion.
That sounds right, well spotted.
I, too, have tried. The result is a really uninteresting, straight beat — nothing like what's going on in the Lumbeat standalone app.
Hmm, yeah - I hear you. I typically assign three different samples based on velocity in NS2 when using Lumbeat midi, trying to follow the Lumbeat rationale. It's an exercise in tedium to be sure.
That sounds like the real thing @Telstar5. Thanks for sharing. But aren’t you the standup comic as well?
Maybe I am confusing avatars....
Ha ha, I wish! But I’d be perfectly happy to field any drumming or music questions in general here. Harmony , etc.. I play piano and bass also. Thanks for the kind words!
Yes, that’s me... I did that also(comedy) some time back. Thanks for the kind words, LL. Always enjoy your provocative and well written posts on here.
Thanks @espiegel123
@LinearLineman : Yeah that’s me . I used to do stand up back in the day.. Thanks for the kind words
Thanks!
The twitter feed said “Adding Roy’s Chops” meaning I assume the great Roy Haynes. And that it did.. it really DOES remind me of Roy and it DOES swing! Kudos to the developer!
@Telstar5 wrote "Your statement about 'taking the polyrhythmic ideas of Elvin Jones to new levels of 4 limb Independence' is entirely Inaccurate."
Is it mentioning Elvin as an influence on Tony that made it inaccurate?
I can see that this is your area of expertise as demonstrated in your video. So, I appreciate having the record set straight. What's you opinion of the Luis Martinez app so far based on the demo videos? What drummers do you hear in the product?
Here's Max Roache's thoughts on Tony and his influences from
https://jazztimes.com/features/max-roach-remembers-tony-williams/
What follows are Roach’s comments on a few facets of Tony Williams’ astonishing life and career.
First of all, I was blown away by the app. I only heard the twitter demo where he mentioned Roy and Luis nailed Roy’s feel for sure .
Max mentioned Tony being influenced by Elvin in passing but I just don’t hear it . I’ve read interviews by Tony and I even took a lesson from him. When he was young he emulated and copied the jazz masters if the day and he often talked about it . But he never mentioned Elvin either verbally or musically . Again , Elvin’s entire concept just about was based in the triplet played in 4-4 time , 3 against four . It’s outside of the scope of this discussion to try to explain further but it would be akin to saying Eddie Van Halen took the concepts of Jimi Hendrix to new heights when I fact EVH patterned himself after Clapton, not Hendrix .
When people say “polyrhythmic “ to describe Elvin, I think jazz critics did that . Tony was actually more polyrhythmic , having virtually invented metric modulation along with Herbie Hancock in Miles’s bands .
OMG ... didn't realise this kind of thing was available as a standalone app ... anyone tried the funk drummer ?
And can you customise parts ? E.g. set the kick/snare pattern and let the app fill in the rest ?
Yes.. and much more..
wow ...
@bibenu you’re in for a treat mate!
All the Lumbeat drum apps are awesome (although I haven’t used Rock or Future drummer) and do what you want and much more
I'm sure the app will never have the creativity of any of these masters of the kit. It sounds like it was "influenced" by Roland's ground breaking rhythmic hardware... the x0x'es.
I'm just taking another swing at "entirely inaccurate" BS. It's hard to insure entirety. Nailed it.
Any news about the release date?!...I’m looking forward to this little big thing like a little to XMAS!!!!
I predict it will arrive for Black Friday and cost more on just that one day.
I'll hope Luis is having fun adding better Jazz baselines to iBassis to match this
new drummer stylistically and hopefully some ii-V-I style progressions to the
"stylist" section of iBassist. Hipper comp'ing of the chord output would also be a
nice gift for jazz improvisers.
