Oceans Drum sound

Hey guys,

Does anyone have an idea what would be a possible way to replicate the kind of sound Will uses on his Roland Octopad for Oceans. The idea of having a drum beat that is pitched to the key of the song is pretty clever and it sounds good to me. I'm just not gonna go buy the "Octopad" any time soon. Though it looks sweet. I use logic X btw. And also, here's a little cover I did of oceans. I played it while listening to the version they did at BBC 1 as a guide track. I used the tuning DADGAD. Honestly don't even remember how I played it. I don't think it's 100% the way Chris plays it, but it's close and I think the chords are generally good sounding. I pitch shifted the BBC version they did down 1 semitone and put the capo one fret lower. I just like it a little better in that key. Or maybe i just don't have the range to stretch all the way for the original key haha. thanks.

Here's a kind of fun cover of Magic I did as well. It's over-dubbed over the album track but it works I think. I added a different drum beat. For anyone curious, Magic happens to have a perfectly consistent metronome cooperative tempo of 93.469. Any fast or slower and it's slightly off by the end. Wonder how they arrived at that number. who knows. I used an irregular delay I made up in Logic for the solo. It came out surprisingly well. Take that back. I actually play all those notes. haha. not quite
