Hello everyone! Today we want to introduce a potential new format to you: Captain Pikant's Rhythm Workout. In there we feature different kinds of rhythm exercises on a 16 step sequencer grid. For the first episode we created some beginner-friendly ones which we think are an excellent training for transcribing drum patterns and creating your own beats - in fact programming anything with a 16 step sequencer, whether it be drum machines, synths, grooveboxes or the MIDI grid in your DAW.

This video is of course only a first step and we'd love to hear your feedback so we know whether we should make more episodes in the future.

Yes, the RDJ reverence is on point. I knew I came to the right place.

just revisited this one - love it! And I wish there were more! Just thinking out loud here - I would love to have a more structured approach to growing my skillset on a drum machine, the same way students learn how to play guitar or piano. There are approximately 1 million articles with the premise "Learn how to play guitar like Steve Vai" but 0 with the premise "Learn how to play the 909 like Jeff Mills." There's lots on programming and composition, but not a lot (anything?) on exercises/drills to grow technically (and really "play" the drum machine like an instrument). Should note your breakdown of Exhibitionist Mix is great, but I mean more building up the ability to sequence stuff on the fly in such a fluent way.

Hi Liam, thanks for your comment! We absolutely agree, that's something that's sorely missing. We're working on a few concepts right now on how we can change that :)
