[Rhythm ideas for duo]

You'd be surprised how effective kick on 1 & 3 and snare on 2 & 4 with no hats is in this situation.  i.e. one simple beat for everything, no hats, no fills, just change the tempo to taste and keep it lower than normal in the mix, and use regular drums sounds not bombastic 80's cannons. 

no programming involved, can do straight time, or shuffle, swing, or country 2-beat without changing anything but tempo. plus you're free to play parts (especially the bass) in all the holes without the drums telling you what to do.  

 

I often play without a drummer in various band configurations (solo, duo, trio....). I use two trigger pedals into a ROLAND TM-2 drum module to play downbeat kick drum (right foot) and backbeat snare/clap/snap/etc. with my left foot - like here in this short clip. Everything except the female vocal is played live by my two hands and feet - works great for me and fills the dancefloor without using any track/styles/loops that would kill my inspiration completely 🙂

So, we setup all our gear and try to connect our mixer console (also Behringer... I see some pattern here 😅) to the venue PA. And there is an horrendous noise, not just the typical 50Hz power line hum, but higher frequency pulsing noises also. We have about two and a half hours to setup things... But we spend about an hour and a half trying to solve that. No way. I work on electronics all day and, to me, it is some weird ground problem (the venue is located on a relatively old building).

 In situations like these when plugging my mixer into an unknown house system, this little box has been a blessing many times:

DOn't feel coerced, but a comment / download ratio of far less than 1 per dozen is pretty low for a "forum"....

Maybe people expected you to at least mention a) your current Linux kernel version b) which AD converter or c) dithering algorithm or d) DSP treatment you're using - to consider your post a legit "Theo post" worth answering...

I just went to that page and saw a new model I've never heard of before under the Stage models: DX MSK. Now I'm VERY curious!

 

Sorry to disappoint you: It's not a new piano :-)
