Re: Playing Beatpads (mpd, mpc etc.)



Of course it is!

Everything worthwhile is difficult, but you do what you can to make it simpler. There's no need to shorten your life by making things more difficult than they have to be. Life's hard enough already. 

Drum rudiments. Post them on the wall, practice them.
