Wow! That’s impressive. The video at the top of your post really helped me understand the coordination involved. Thank you for sharing.
I imagine you’ve been playing music most of your life. How long did it take you to bring all of this together and start “one man band” improvising?
Thanks. I actually started playing the piano in 1975. But only in the early 2000 I started to play bass on a pedal board. In 2010 I made my first experiments with playing the drums instead of the bass on the pedal board (http://rochus-keller.ch/?p=317). In 2014 I had a dedicated setup simulating a big band and played together with other musicians (e.g. http://rochus-keller.ch/?p=962). In 2022 I bought a Mac mini M1 and since enjoy the excellent sound quality of the new plugin generations. Only this year I managed to play the ride cymble as a real drummer would do it.
