Drum Programming
Tanner Stauffacher
“The most common misconception about programed drums is that they will diminish the performance of a live drummer, when in reality it allows the drummers to efficiently lay down an idea and give every note hit and pattern the discretion it deserves without sacrificing hours and dollars at a time trying to nail the absolute perfect take.”
“Most drummers I work with on a MIDI Kit have made massive strives in playing ability being able to analyze their hits and performance on the spot. When we record live and under pressure, we are limited to our current performance under pressure and on the clock. If we can push the limitations of the drummer and analyze what we want, versus what we can get in this exact moment, traditionally we see the drummer improve their ability to play a challenging fill or pattern after programming and hearing it back. All while saving time and money in the studio.”
