Jefff Mills Drum Tutorial on Roland TR1000

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Recreating the flow of Jeff Mill's iconic Exhibitionist TR909 performance using the Roland TR1000. I've the TR909 next to it - sounds almost the same - there's another video in that!

In his video Jeff Mills creates all the patterns from scratch - and the trick is that he's playing the patterns in live mode - not xox step sequencing - and he records the pattern while the track is muted then mixes it in later. WQhen you watch his performance he's constantly tweaking and programming. Always a step or 2 ahead of what you're hearing. VERY CLEVER.

The faders are a great addition to the TR1000 - vastly reducing the amount of twisting you have to do! :)

In this I follow the same techniques he uses ion that performance, but don't copy beat for beat - where's the fun in that? I take his ideas and use his techniques to build something similar - hopefully demoing how to create your own performances using your own style and influences."
