You need to select brushes (tools) and edit all your velocities to be extremely low, especially bass drum (and soft beater on kick?).

seems it’s a “two-beat” not so much a train beat. I’m a songwriter as well, in Nashville…it’s been very difficult to find a premade train “loop”. maybe in the two beat section of the Nashville drummer pack might help.

what i ended up doing was have a session drummer record about 20 bars of different train grooves and pick the best 2 measures of each and use those as loops.

best of luck, its a great groove

I too get kind of fustrated with some of the grooves. A lot of them seem like drum solos and have no place in a song. I did find a shuffle beat in the Nashville EZX that works pretty well but haven’t been succesful finding a simple boom chuck boom chuck with 8th or 16th highhats. Maybe the programmers could come up with some real world beats. After all I think that is why most of us bought this software.
