Starkeeper,
Excellent question! It really varies for players when they play drums on the keys. One thing is that it takes practice! It took me a long time to learn how to play the drums on the keys. People never believe me when I let them hear my music and I say I recorded the drums on (one) track without overdubbing. I'll draw up a picture later this evening showing my hand position, or maybe I'll just have my wife take some pics with the digital and post those so you can see. I'll send you some demos tonight of me playing drums only using one track without overdubbing.. That's playing the high hat, bass, snare, toms, cymbals and doing all the fills on the fly.. It's actually pretty fun sometimes too..
