Making drums using a toy basketball game

Here's a quick video detailing part of my drum making process. I recently bought this rad toy basketball game and noticed it made some percussive noises I liked....so naturally I wanted to sample it and make some drums!

via YouTube Capture I recently bought this toy basketball game and after messing around with it I thought it would be a great percussive tool. Here's a video of me noodling around with samples from it on different samplers at all kinds of different pitches to create a drum loop that will eventually turn into a full beat.....

Making beats on the road!

Live acoustic version of "Number One On A Hitlist"
