Can You Tell Which Drums Are Real?
Earlier this week, I released a new record by Dr. Zoltan Øbelisk called, “Why I Am So Wise, Why I Am So Clever, And Why I Write Such Good Songs…” It contains a 5-minute drum battle against Marco Minnemann, over a bunch of tuplets. Half of the drums were played by Marco on his acoustic drumset in his studio. Half were programmed by me, using Cubase and Toontrack’s Drumkit From Hell. I sat there for hours, clicking with a mouse and setting all of the velocities for nuance. Hey, I’m an artist!
Take a listen and see if you can tell the difference between a robot and the best odd-rhythm drummer in the world.
You can download the entire album for free.

I throw my ears into the ring:
- from 2:08 to 2:19 is some real, organic drumming (as opposed to the real, inorganic drumming)
Dude, you are incredible. This is awesome.
I’m listening to World’s Greatest Salesman again. So freaking awesome. “I’m an artist and I shouldn’t have to work for a living…” brilliant.
