New video from the Beat Kangz showing more footage of the beat thang hardward drum machine.

This time they made it talk!

check it out

If you’ve been following my uploads and twitter updates from NAMM last week, you know that last Friday I had a chance to actually sit down with the Beat Kangz and mess around with the beat thang hardware.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to get any video.

We were scheduled to hook back up the next day to get some video but it didn’t work out, both myself and the beat kangz had a full schedule at NAMM.

All I did was take this one photo in passing as we were chatting lol.

It’s real, they’ve updated the build quality to all metal, making the machine pretty sturdy.

Fear not, I will have plenty of videos for you when I get the thang in my hands….

Luckily for us Peter Kirn from createdigitalmusic.com did get some video of it, so check it out, and lemme know what you think.

I don’t know, I keep hearing I’ll get to see it this year, the official, ready to play, ready to ship version.

I’m goin out to NAMM this year, Jan 14-17, so you know I’ll be looking around to see if I can catch a peek at the beat thang.

I keep askin them about it, I just get told to “wait till namm” lol.

Well I’m tired of waitin! I been waiting since last namm when I first heard about the thang!

But it’s all good, if it is finally ready, then I’m ready to test it.  The software is cool, but I think it’s the hardware that really is going to change things.

I don’t even know what it looks like! That’s an old pic on the left, they said it now has metal parts and is built very solid….we’ll see.

The thought of taking a beat machine with me anywhere, and running on battery power is crazy.

Let’s hope I get a chance to grab some exclusive video of it! Keep it locked, as I’ll try to get the info as soon as possible and post it up

producer Rockwilder, yes the one that produced Fifty’s latest single…making a beat on the beat kangz beat thang virtual

He comes up with some pretty sick stuff…just goes to show it’s not what you use but how you use it, he makes me look like a rookie on this thang!

Yeah, lemme know what you think…

I thought it was dope

Don’t forget to pick up your copy of the beat thang if you haven’t yet, they doing a crazy promo for it.

This is no joke man, I heard about it straight from the Beat Kangz pres.

He had been talking about a huge beat battle they were planning, but I couldn’t get any info about the details until now.

Basically, they hooked up with Rocwilder…you know…multi platinum producer and the owner of Rocbattle.com? Anyway, they doing some promotion for the beat thang virtual on rocbattle and they are also putting on a beat battle and contest for producers and also artists.
