@GGD and @Sweetwater - as someone mentioned in the comments, the GGD products should be licensed to electronic drums of all brands. A solid win for everyone.

I like how Matt is playing an electric kit triggering acoustic drum sounds that he originally recorded.

playing his drums with extra steps

I am exactly the guy they’re talking about in this video. A bedroom musician when I started out, guitars and vocals mainly, and I’m now producing my own full-on productions and they actually sound damn good. Companies like GGD have been, and I cannot overstate this, a massive help in making that even possible. I also could not play the drums for shit but now Have progressed to a point where I’m writing and tracking my own drums for my music. It’s so awesome how you can just go out and get yourself a decent E kit and then hook up to GGD and get any drum sound you want convincingly. I’ve now added an instrument to my quiver of things I can play and don’t have the guilt of copy/paste drums in my music. I can’t mic and record an acoustic kit just because of space and noise limitations but I can track through my E-kit and feel better knowing that I actually wrote and played the drums in my stuff. I legit am thankful for guys like Misha and Nollie who have moved the barrier for intro back for musicians to be able to express themselves and create their art when 10 years ago for a lot of us it would’ve been nearly impossible. Cheers fellas

Me too, but from the aspect that I like to make music. I wanna keep my focus on the guitar. Make me a view "better metronomes". If the ideas form a song I have something good for a drummer to make me something great.

Instructional videos on their own products and thorough explanations on what they can or cant do is one of the things that drew me to GGD. Thx all!

The software has had some growing pains. It’s not the most intuitive to use…..however these are absolutely THE BEST drum samples you can get right now. It allows me to get the exact drum sound I have in my head all day 🤣🤣

Yamaha, Roland, etc...Please pay to have their samples pre-loaded on your kits haha, they are so much better than the standard "Metal" or "Punchy" drum presets that come on electronic kits.

For anyone that doeant know check out Sithu Ayes latest couple albums they were done with GGD Invasion they sound amazing!

Heavyweights dropping knowledge! Very stoked for this. 🙌 Thanks Sweetwater for making this, and helping me recently build my up and coming studio. 👍

such type of videos, where you talk with actual devs behind the products, are really great to have, do make more in the future please :)

That hi-hat is holdin' on for dear life.

I loved when Nick sung "Save the Orphans" in Two and a Half Men.

The way I see it. Writing the music first allows for total creativity and you're not locked in or shackled by the fear of "can I even play that." You're just focused on writing good music and the letting the music tell you where it should go. In my band we were writing a song that we just knew had to go into a tapping section. I'm pretty bad at the technique, but we knew that's where the song wanted to go so we recorded it and eventually I learned how to play it live. If I just went with something I was comfortable with, it would remove the challenge and be a disservice to the music.

I'm so happy these guys exist, They make me smile daily. Thank you for your music guys, it's everything we all need, at the right time.

I love what they're talking about in terms of the composition first, and then they level up in learning to play it! As a guitarist/singer, this is super common for me, cuz I want the riffs to be dope, but I normally can't sing it and play it at the start. That part takes a lot of work and practice, so I relate to what they're saying.

So awesome; definitely glad to see GGD and Sweetwater teaming up!

Misha, Matt, Nolly. The greatest gear entrepreneurs of all time.

The modern fusion is amazing. Been following misha since the tandjent forum with timdog.

Great video- Love this!

GGD needs to support roland brains out of the box. Superior 3 works with e kits so much better that I dont use GGD anymore. really hope they can get that feature soon

Before Periphery, Misha was *Bulb* helping to shape and push forward a new sub genre of metal.

I love Matt Halpern's P4 Kit. It's insanely good. Sometimes I combine the kick and snare with the Invasion cymbals. So good.

i know the GGD metal kit when i hear it in that intro ahahaha. great products man! crazy affordable as well. integrates very nicely with ekits. i got a td 17kvx last year as i got tired of barely being able to play acoustic due to noise levels and SPECIFICALLY wanted to use GGD exclusively with it via midi because i realllyy dont care for the 'in the box sounds' the module has. their stuff made me have fun playing drums again :)

Congrats GGD dudes and congrats Sweetwater.

Flashy Halpern Snare, I'm going to get that boy when it lands here in the Philippines.

I like Sweetwater. I like Periphery. I like GGD. I like Nolly... and I especially like this video. Cheers from Memphis, Lads!

@lunapocrophy

Start by watching tutorials on how to use the software and then trying to replicate drums and popular songs. Simple stuff. Don’t try and recreate prog drums lol. Just find a simple pop/rock song and try to write drums exactly as you hear them. It’ll help a lot. Eventually you can move to more complicated music and writing your own. You can also use premade grooves/fills. You usually have to pay for good ones. But you can study/dissect those and understand/visualize the patterns.

do they mention what misha uses for his guitar tones here?

Well how strange. I’m on day 3 of programming a guitar solo in guitar pro. Slowly bar by bar figuring something out. I can play it, but it’s slightly sloppy, I just want to break out of that improvised jam thing I’ve gotten stuck in and mix it up a bit. Seems to be working so far. Good to know I’m not crazy.

Best sounding virtual drum vst on the market. Hands down.

Genial

Nolly is like Mew from Pokemon. He masters every abilities ! Like a Joker card you want him in your deck!

Once you hear Matts mic you cant unhear it.

I remember sitting with Nolly in the merch bit in Glasgow and playing on his pink Daemoness guitar and them talking about Jake's broken finger, on that first LXD tour. Crazy that was over a decade ago.

How remove all the compression from overheads. Too much in the mix for me .

Is the drummer that law and order detective guy?

The ggd stuff is Not expensive at all. All stuff is between 30-70 bucks. Thats real cheap For modern virtual instruments

I know people love to hate the compose first then learn process, a decent amount of composers throughout history write stuff they couldn't play.

Are you sure that’s not Tray Parker from South Park?

most great inventions start off as a project for ones use and own satisfaction. Nikola Tesla did not just make tesla coils in an attempt to give free electricity to the world, he also used them to make bad ass incandescent light BuLb shows for entertainment of the people! You know that was fun to do and see the look on peoples faces as you melt their brains!

I feel Misha’s anxiety from here goddamn

The samples are probably one of the best for sure. Navigating through Kontakt totally ruins it for me. Sd3 all the way just saying

So many people trying to copy ggd now but ggd is still the best hands down.

People used to do this before there were computers. It's called reading, writing and composing.
