Anyone one here uses any? I use fruity loops.


Im a guitar player and i need to find a good and easy program to make the drumms since i cant find any drummer in my area.


i find fruity loops easy to use but i have a lot of difficulties with the tempos.
Any help would be apreciated

in what way do you have tempo difficulties? do you record the riff and then try and put drums to it? because if that is what you are doing, record the drums FIRST at a tempo that sounds right and play along to that.

I would like to hit the snare and the hat as fast as possible while being faster on the kick... i think that is what drummers do so that you can hear that effect of the double kick stands out. The thing is that when i choose a tempo either the snare is not quick enough or it is but the double kick is not humanly possible. i Cant find a midle term. Usually i have to hit the kick with the same speed i hit the snare and the hat wich makes the drumm sounds like a machinegun.

Also i need to make more interestings variations.


Also it sucks that its not possible to do drumm riffs with different tempos within the same song file

what speed are you hitting the snare? 120 bpm 16ths? if so the double kick parts are humanly possible, unless you are using a gravity blast sound in which case your beats are going to to sound like a machine gun if you want the double kick in there.

try stuff with triplets, which might help.

120? ...lol im using more something along 180.. 200


Maybe that means that when i want the double kick to stand out i have to hit the snare and hat slow.

But can i do something good and realistic with this program?

__________________

your playing 180 bpm 16th notes?

that is a gravity blast son!

if you are doing 8th notes at that speed then it is piss easy, but by the sounds of it, you arent' so you going to have to put up with it,

180 BPM sounds realistic to me...

I don't know what u mean by gravity blast or puting up with it... sorry


Anyways... what can i do to improve the skills. Are there any sites that can help me.

By the way... do u actually own this program

tnx for the help so far

A gravity blast is a single handed snare roll, with the other hand rolling a cymbal, and the kicks hitting each time the snare hits. It should look something like this....
CY|x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
SN|x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
KK|x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

The single hyphen equals 1 sixteenth. So a bomb blast would be shown as such.

CY|x--x--x--x--x--x-
SN|x--x--x--x--x--x-
KK|x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

So a bomb blast would be explain as a suffocation blast (straight eighths, with single kick.) But with 16th note kicks hitting twice per snare hit.
