Haven't seen the video, but I have tried both the low and high end HB guitars, and the low end are just crap, the high end are better than a Fender Mex or a Squire (IMO).
I see this as a possible dystopian future of the human race, a future where nothing of value is left, only thing that is left is the simile of life, and if our current models of AI is the only thing to survive, we might as well not have been here at all, every truth and fact will be torn apart by hallucinating machines...
One example that the owner used was: (from memory not direct quote) lets say someone liked our piano teacher, but the piano teacher doesn't do jazz, we could then make an AI generated video with her teaching jazz-piano, assuming she would be ok with it (as he looks over his shoulder to an visible uncomfortable piano teacher).
They where quick to say that so far they haven't used any AI-generated music or lessons, but they clearly see it as a possibility in the future, to "keep up".
To be fair, nobody is telling me to upload my own recordings, but an important part of Drumeo is the evaluation, and to be evaluated, you have to upload something, and the things I mostly want evaluated is how I play our own music.
As for their license, this one stood out for me:

I don't have anything against using tools to do a job, I worked in a analog recording studio back in the 90' when computers for real started to made their entrance in music, and I welcomed the changes with open arms, I even thought that the LinnDrum was a cool instrument, but AI is not just a tool, at best it's giving away your creativity, at worst it's giving away your work so that someone who knows how to "prompt" can make a "better" version.
there’s no chance AI will take over the entire thing. It’s just neither good, nor can it play concerts, nor does the music mean anything.
Guess I'm a bit more pessimistic about it than you, I know there will always be people like me who likes to make music without the use of AI, but I have seen what stuff like autotune have done to the industry, and I fear that AI will become the only thing people hear.
Do you feel safe uploading your own work to an AI?
That's like asking a wolf to guard your sheep, IMO.
I have not seen any obvious use of AI in music-production... yet, but the way Jared spoke about it made me feel uncomfortable sharing my own music on their site, I don't want my music to help train AI.
The video is only available to members on their site, so I no longer have access to it.
The video started out with a "sad" story about someone who posted some SUNO crap and got flack for it, and then went on about how people who didn't embrace new technology would be left behind.
Full disclosure... I did not watch the video to the end, I generally try to keep cool and not get too emotional about things, but this had my blood boiling.
They are most likely made with piezo triggers, and in that case you can use them with most drum-modules.
Do they have a female jack? the Alesis modules all have jack inputs for triggers, but some modules use a "snake" with male jacks.
Eww... That's a lot if AI
I want a room like the orchestral test-room they have :-)

but then again, art is subjective.
Optokobler ?
It's the July Ask us anything video called "Ask Us Anything - How Should Musora Use AI?"

Flat rides are awesome :-) One of my wish-list items is a Meinl 22" Byzance flat ride, a bit pricy thou.
Yes... still no mail from Tony Levin asking to join the band thou.
Not quite sure what oak tastes like :-)
It burns like wood, likely just a fluke
It should be Japanese oak, I suspect it's just a fluke, it's a brand new stick and the other pairs I bought seam fine.
Just Foo fighters "Pretender" :-)
"EU demands Facebook and Instagram dismantle" I wish the headline had stopped there :-)
Sounds promising :-)
Btw. you can sometimes find the old DM4 and 5 dirt cheap second hand, I bought a DM4 rack-version for about 30Euro last year.
