Drum Rave

DrumRave is a combination of sampling, sequencing, looping, singing, and of course drumming- all performed live and in real time by ONE person. My name is Jaime and I’ve been drumming since I was just a little guy. Its my passion but I have always been curious about trying other instruments like keys, guitar and even saxophone. The problem is I don’t have the time or patience to spend learning how to play them. So I took up sampling… I record individual notes and sounds via midi and assign them to one of 20 pads placed around my drumkit. With this I can play any instrument along with a drum beat at the same time(with some practice of course) Actually a lot of practice…for every song comes a completely different set of samples all in different places. The great thing about using the samples is that it has opened the door for me to PLAY the types of music that I have always wanted to but never could with a band. I emphasize PLAY because so many groups record crazy electronic sounds into their music but then have no way to physically play it back live. So when you come to a DrumRave show you will most definitely here songs that you have never heard played in person. In a nutshell I am a Drumming DJ that actually PLAYS music…. There’s no Play Button in this setup;)
