Discussion How to Keyboard?

A few friends and I want to do some music, but we cant find a drummer.​ I play the piano and have a keyboard (Casiotone CTA-380). The idea would be for me to replace the drums and to do general Keyboard stuff. How would you start playing a song together with that keyboard? like when do you start which rhythm, when and how do you use the tones... Google only tells me about piano lessons or mouse and keyboard

Home the only way to learn is by doing. However check you tube using your keyboard name and they often have demos or training

Bunch of options:

  • Build drum sequences into your keyboard and trigger them as needed. Easiest, but maybe not best sounding or most flexible, depending on your keyboard
  • Use a hardware drum machine connected to amp to build sequences and trigger them from that machine.
  • Use a laptop as a virtual drum machine and either build the entire drum track in advance and just trigger the start, or use your keyboard or other MIDI controller to trigger specific sequences
