Drumeo and AI

2026-07-18 04:34 UTC

Just sat through a disheartening video from my former drum-teachers at Drumeo, about how AI is inevitable and that musicians that don’t use AI will be left behind, comparing it to when tractors came to farming… wtf?

Huh? Any more context than that? (Or a vidlink?) . Where does the idiotic AI bubble overlap with drumming according to these genius practitioners and soothsayers? I have a whole lot I’d like to say here but I’ll hold off until there’s more info. Until then , don’t stop drumming.

What was their reasoning? In what ways would “ai” (which is LLM at the moment) help musicians and especially drummers? I can’t think of a way LLMs could improve musicians.

I use Moises to pull out drum tracks so I can play along to my fav songs or try them with a drum part I think is better. That’s it for AI in music, though. Apart from that I use AI to help catalogue recordings, keep my audio production disk well-maintained, and assist with troubleshooting things like latency spikes or excessive noise when all the usual obvious things don’t work. It’s all about more time making music and less time fucking around with shit. Were they referring to this sort of stuff? Or were they actually talking about letting AI be involved in the creative process?

Brandon is also a religious whacko I found that hugely disappointing
