Groove scribe mikeslessons6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() I don't remember much more than that about it. I remember adding another drum set they offered free for a limited time, perhaps four years ago. I've been using the Beat Buddy for five years now! I was surprised to find it's been that long. I've incorporated different drum sets and beats into our setlist. So have you guys tried any other of the beats or drum sets from Singular Sound? I've added the Standard Pro and Vintage Ludwig drum sets and Drums with Percussion beats. I don't need the exact drum pattern used in the original recordings for the songs we cover anyway Probably not much of a quorum for Groovemonkey to develop surf beats. Whelp, from the looks of things, I guess there's only three of us using a BB on this forum. ![]() Pretty much just a matter of punching in a setlist. Once I figured out the BB Manager, it was full speed ahead using this awesome pedal for band use. Our set list was in the Beat Buddy, and we simply clicked through the Beat Buddy as we went through our set. once we get going.įor each song I had selected the beat patterns, fills, title, and BPM long before the performance. I hope to add vids of my duo w/BB to your thread. ![]() Nice work Squid! Yeah, I didn't mean to side step your above thread - just thought it might be good to target the Beatbuddy in the post title. You can view & hear three video recordings of live performances where I used the Beat Buddy for surf beats and appropriate fills at the beginning of this SG101 thread: I seem to have about a 30 song buffer brain in my head from memory and then have to write a down set list for all the other songs I know or I can't even think of the name of the songs, but soon as I see the name I can remember the tune, not sure if I can remember all the drum beats though connected to the Beat Buddy? I was thinking of a list of staff symbols or those so I can remember all that too. But there are a lot of A minor type songs that you can mash-up on the fly as well with either version or at least that's my idea. I play that way anyway, even when I play along to songs I go into outer space jamming and trying different stuff on most songs/ The only song I usually play like a record is Walk Don't Run and even then alternate between the 64 version and the earlier one just because I never seem to be able to think of a different way to perform that tune. Myself I like the idea of just using the Surf Beat if I can find it on the oldies section of the SD card and just winging it pushing pedals on the fly instead of a whole song midi file etc.You can do song mash-ups that way and play different sets etc and versions of songs. So much to do and so little time, what's new? Much like everything else I have it takes me a long while to learn and remember all the techniques and information in the manuals, some I have had for years and never got around to it yet. Have not had much time to mess with the Beat Buddy either. Yet at the same time I like the total control a solo opportunity and drum pedal like this provides.īeen working on everything but my Surf solo band the last two weeks, so my Surf Guitar career skill declined a bit. I can change the tempo etc but your playing and kicking a pedal at the same time which makes it much harder perform I think. The only thing I can see about these drum pedals is it has relatively perfect time - where a real drummer pulls on the beat a bit and can play flexible time on the fly when needed. ![]()
