A DB-01 love song: 'Dreaming of Perkons'

video upload by Richard DeHove

"What do you do when you're waiting for Perkons the God of Thunder to appear on Earth? You summon a pair of lesser deities and attempt to invoke the spirit of the God. So here we have two DB-01s, one playing pure percussion (on the left) through an EQ and mono reverb (Boss RV-6); and the other playing a droney percussive noise thing through overdrive (B3K) and stereo delay (Strymon DIG). And it's not so much a song as an extended noodle but it was a spur of the moment thing mostly inspired by Girts saying in a recent interview that the main surprise about the DB-01 was its percussive ability.
The second half of this video is me giving a short mumbly explanation of the two patches. As usual what you see is 100% of the sound - no post-production EQ or compression, no other effects etc, only a little chopping up since I was pretty sure no one would want to hear 20 minutes of noodling. What I did especially like was the low bass drone of the right-side machine. I was originally intending to have both machines doing percussion, but the drone was so satisfying I had to capture the moment.
