Re: Keyboard Percussion
Seriously though, I do use keyboards for things like vibraphone & marimbas and a bunch of electronic gear to reproduce hand drums and other percussion, with my Roland Handsonic and Roland Octopad...which I'll be hopefully replace with a Roland SPD-SX sampling pad....simply due to the logistics. If I wasn't being called on to add melodic voicings and just did hand percussion, shakers etc, then I wouldn't be worried, but I'm doing a fair bit of multi-tasking with one group....the keyboards of course means that I also get called on doing strings, pianos, etc. I do also play the whole range of acoustic percussion by itself, by the way....what I do get to do just depends on who I'm working with. But it's so different going from multiple mallets to fingers on a keyboard...but hey, that's the fun and joy of it! Lol.
