There are many ways technology has improved the music industry over the years, but when it comes to performing, many musicians still prefer to use real instruments. However, one artist is here to prove in 2021; it can all be done on a tablet. A drummer went viral recently after sharing numerous cover songs, playing the drum parts on an iPad.
Instagram user “ipaddrummer” has a profile full of clips of him performing drum covers on a digital drum set. Some of the songs he has covered include; Metallica’s ‘Enter Sandman,’ Aerosmith’s ‘I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing,’ ‘Nirvana’s ‘Smells like Teen Spirit,’ and many more. Many online were impressed by the drummer’s skills; especially on a drum kit small enough to fit on an iPad screen.
According to Loudwire, the viral drummer primarily covers songs by metal bands such as Metallica, Slipknot, Iron Maiden, System of a Down, Cannibal Corpse and others, but has plenty of other genres mixed in as well. Maybe one day, this viral drummer will take his iPad on the road.
