This is super helpful and easy to understand!! Definitely something I needed! Thank you!!

hihats are the hard part getting realistic thanks to the complexity. I used to record hihats using microphones because of this at times. Also (It must have been LooOOove, but it's OooOOOOver noOOoow hehe".

Thx man!!! I finally bought myself Glenn Frickers ELE Drums and am willing to learn the stuff. And your tips are just gold. Especially the thing with the velocities. They drove me crazy.

Thank you for this! I am a guitarist and trying to start making midi drums for my friend's compositions/arrangements. I already forgot what drum software or vst I got years ago.

Great stuff - I've learned a lot. I think the Midi tracks that come with your DAW or drum VST are great for getting ideas for beats and fills, but I've never actually used them in a song. Thanks!

Wow! I am glad that I came across you. This video really helped understand drums a little better, since I am not a drummer. Thanks for sharing your expertise. New follower.

Excellent content and delivery...thanks for sharing

[ObjectiveDynamics]

Fantastic! Thanks. This was what I've been looking for

Really glad I stumbled on your channel! This is golden!

If you're a drummer yourself, and know the song material, simply mic a practice pad, shut the click off, and record. Use that as the base track, and then match the your midi hits up to what you've done later on. Lots of top tier music was created with no click running at all, so if human / live is the vibe you're going for... :)

If that's too extreme, drift the metronome / tempo of the song itself up and down a smidge.

So basically programming drums start in the piano roll once you pick a realistic beat?

[Bigwoody]

Awesome, I might have to go for your course. Now I just started Scott Eliott's course

[pastilance]

Really great and informative video mate, I really liked your explanation! Keep them coming! I am personally interested in Cubase's logical editor with your style of explanation :) Cheers!

I meant Blue Monday by New Order, sorry. Listen to the drums on that. Totally different style. Cheers.

Hey. This was helpful and I enjoyed it. If I could make 1 suggestion: please slow down your speech a little. I actually had to check my settings to make sure I didn’t accidentally hit something to set the playback speed to 1.5. I really did like finding this topic and got something from it.

thank you for sharing this!!! you're the best, man

That drum part sounds like Roxette - It must have been love

[djerikfox]

omg the drum kit sounds amazing..what kit is that from sd? regards

[millerhxc]

Awesome video. Very useful and clear. Many thanks.
Only thing is I'm using Reaper and it has both a quantize and humanize function which both look different to the function you're using, so I'm not entirely sure which is the best to use and how.
Anyone know?

Fantastic tutorials. Thanks for posting! It is interesting for me though because i compose techno, electronlca etc ala Depeche Mode, and actually in these genres "humanizing" the drums is NOT good for the synthetic sound. Think "Blue Monday" by OMD for example. Just thought I'd mention the drum style will very much be affected by the genre.
