"I've been playing drums for most of my life, and playing live since I was ten or eleven. I wanted a way of bringing the drum kit back into the equation without compromising the music. So I came about the idea of using a midi drum kit in the same way as I was using my keyboard. I ended up getting a Yamaha because it had the most midi triggers, and it was older and therefore cheaper than the others.
I started making versions of my tracks (and covers of other tracks that I thought might work well for one reason or another) to be converted into kits. I didn't want to have any backing tracks, using loops on various pads is as far as I will go. It wouldn't feel right to just play along to something. And I wouldn't have the same control and freedom to improvise. As I have it set up now, every sound you hear is triggered by my drum sticks hitting the pads.
I've played many gigs this way now, and I feel it has been a successful solution (other than a few technical problems that can occur: I.e. bad monitoring). I intend to play more, to keep experimenting, exploring, and hopefully releasing music until it all evolves into some newer and better idea."
