So yeah, I just had my second practice with my spin instructor friend. I'm going to be jamming along with the music playing in the spin class as well as adding some inspirational cues with voice samples and such. This is the wildest gig I've done to date. A spin class!!! It should be a hoot, it's just me and my SPDS pads as well as a kd8 kick trigger, the spin instructor and a bunch of people on bikes looking right at me. LOL! The theme will be hip hop and r and b tunes. I'll be playing to songs like Green Light- John Legend, I'm Looking for You - Kirk Franklin and Prayer for the Dying -Seal. This is going to be fun because I've never done any kind of R&B gig. I've always loved R&B but never had the chance to explore it.
Right now I have a generic kit set up. I have two SPDS pads with a china, splash and crash on the top triggers of each pad. The left top three pads have voice samples, the Yeahhh, Come on and the scratch sound. The bottom three pads have a ride a hit hat and a snare. On the right, the top three pads have descending toms, the bottom three pads have a snare a crotale and a floor tom. I may have to put together an R&B kit so I blend with the song mixes. We'll see. More later...
