Chords for MIDI Drum Trigger System by Akira Jimbo

Alright, so this is [Dm] your drum set.
Wow, there's a lot of [G#] drums here.
But I would love to [A] find [Gm] out how you make this sound like a whole entire band.
[C] Okay, so this kit is a hybrid kit.
A hybrid kit?
Yes, you can see the rubber pad.
Those are electronic drum pads.
And also I put a small trigger pickup on each acoustic [D] drum.
I see.
So everything is triggered.
And this system is called MIDI drum trigger system.
The MIDI drum trigger system.
Yeah, MIDI means music instrument digital interface. _
It's difficult.
Yes, it's pretty technical there.
Wow.
So could you [G#] hit the rim of the drum?
[C] Okay, sure.
This one.
Yeah.
_ _ [Gm] Wait, that doesn't sound like a [B] drum.
_ [C] This is a sheep voice.
Sheep?
Yeah.
Yes, it sounds like [B] a sheep.
_ [C] How about the other one?
This one.
_ [N] _ Yeah, bigger sheep. _
_ _ You're funny.
It is a bigger sheep.
[F#]
Maybe mother sheep.
Mother sheep, okay.
How about [C] that one?
This one? _
Father sheep.
How about this [G] one? _ _
[N] Baby sheep.
Baby sheep.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
So like Mary had a little lamb.
Mm-hmm. _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Yeah.
_ [N] Yeah, oh my God. Great.
That was so much fun.
Wait, so when you hit these, all the sounds come out.
Yeah, it's all live performance.
Live performance, I see.
Wait, so when you go on tour, do you have to take a lot of equipment with you?
Not really.
Really?
It's very compact.
I see.
Just a small equipment.
It's a small sound module like this big.
Oh.
And this pad is the program change pad.
Oh, I see.
So now since you hit that, a different sound should be coming out from these things?
That's correct.
Can I try it?
Sure.
[D#] _ _ [G]
Oh.
Piano.
Piano.
_ Yeah, this is also a very famous song.
Okay.

God, that was wonderful.
Please join me here.
_ That was really, really impressive.
Thank you very much.
I'm glad if you like it.
Yes, I did.
I still can't believe that it was just you doing all that by yourself.
It was really amazing.
Thank you.
So how [F#] many years did it take for you to complete [G] this whole entire system?
[Fm] Yeah, I start [D] to do this kind of things maybe 15 years ago.
15 [G] years ago?
Little by little, step by step.
Step by step.
So do you think in the years coming, it'll develop [C] even more?
That's correct.
I hear that you have really, really strong ambitions for the drums. _
So everybody _ recognize drums as a backing instrument.
That's true.
But I play melody and harmony with this trigger system, so I could be solo player.
Oh, I see.
So what I want to do is going around whole world and showing the possibility of drumming.
Will you be performing anywhere soon?
This [A] month, I travel to South Africa.
[Em] South Africa?
Yeah, first [N] time in African continent, so I'm very much looking forward to it.
That sounds great.
Well, I wish you further success and thank you very much for coming today.
Thank you very much.
It was really nice talking to you.
Likewise.
That was Akira Jinbo. _
