Re: Playing Beatpads (mpd, mpc etc.)



Alright, if you can visualize rhythms, then look for notation. All of those rules for modulations and whatnot in western harmony have analogs in the rhythm world. Think tension/release...then think what makes tension. Its all about pulse. Its also about density. Its also about consistency.

If you need feel/rhythmic understanding- go find the nearest western African percussion ensemble and join or take lessons from the leader. (Im entirely serious)
