Very well narrated.
Very well narrated. I really like his choppy reads, one idea per phrase. It's learning session, not poetry reading. Also, the visuals, zooms and focus are really tight. One small niggle: when demoign the effect of a paramter, it would be helpfull to state, in voice, what kit piece to listen to. Yes yes it's shown in the interface, but it's all too easy to listen to, say the snair, when the demo is modifying the foot, and we're wondering - what changed?

Great tutorial. Easy digestible.
Gives great insight into what this software can do for you. Doesn't give you practical demonstrations on how Luke Oswald utilizes AD2 in his own projects and how he would mix in drums with other instruments. Maybe that's for another tutorial? :)

Very Helpful in Understanding AD
When I updated Sonar at some point AD2 was included. At this point I was using ezdrummer 2 and loops. This video helped me understand how to make use of the various menu's and adjustments available in AD2. Thanks

Far from advanced.
This video is simply a feature overview with a little bit of how to. You can find the same content for free on YouTube. If you know how to use AD2 then skip this vid and wait for vol 2.

Very nice tut!
Been using AD2 for years now, and this really opened my eyes for the possibilities I didn't know!.. The narrator gets a little repetitive if you watch the whole series in a marathon, but otherwise very good series!

1. When did you start dabbling in music?
I've always had an interest in drumming from a young age and started playing in 6th grade when a family friend stored their drum set at my parents house for a summer. I started playing in church the next fall and have been playing ever since. No one had to tell me to practice, it was just something I loved to do. I just enjoyed everything that had to do with drumming.
2. What training have you had?
I studied piano at a young age, then played trumpet from elementary through middle school. I started drumming on my own at the age of 12, then switched to drumming as my main instrument in high school and went on to study in college along with Music Business. I've been teaching drums since college, both private instruction and drum clinics.
3. When did you get into recording?
When I was in middle school/high school, I was very interested in music technology. It was much different then, but I remember recording/sequencing song arrangements with music software and filming videos and editing in camera all the time. In and after college, I started learning about audio production when I was recording drums for the bands I was in. In the late 2000's I stumbled upon drum sample technology, and that changed everything for me. I started really digging into the study of audio production, recording, mixing and mastering. I started studying video production around the same time as I knew I wanted to eventually film high quality drum videos while using this sample technology.
4. People you have worked with/for?
During my time in Nashville, I studied drums with Derico Watson (Victor Wooten), Jeff Bowders (Paul Gilbert), Will Denton (Steven Curtis Chapman, LeAnn Rimes), Marcus Finnie (Kirk Whalum, India Arie) and Raymond Massey (Pearl Drums). I've recorded drums on multiple albums produced by Sadson Music Group and have played on albums with artists such as George Clinton and Samantha Ware.
5. Why are you so good at training people?
To me, teaching is as inspiring as performing. When you teach, you're forced to understand the topic at a much deeper level. I love the process of learning and improving, and to me teaching is just an extension of that process. I learn something new every time I teach anything, whether it be a drum lesson or a software tutorial. I also believe as artists we have a responsibility to pass on the knowledge that we've accumulated. You must take action and apply what you've learned to your own life, but that only goes so far. If you can take what you've learned and share it with someone else, you're giving them the opportunity to take that knowledge, nurture it and allow it to influence their own lives. Eventually, they can pass that knowledge on to someone else, and the process keeps going. You never know the impact you can have on someone simply by sharing with them what you've learned.
