creating own drum patterns

Hello. What I’m doing is covering the song Wild Thing....

Hello. What I’m doing is covering the song Wild Thing. I tap a beat and see what grooves SP3 offers. I picked one then set BPM to 95.

I add or remove notes using grid editor. I like what I came up with but one thing eludes me. When I have a drum verse go into drum chorus I am using and educated guess for my timing. Is there a way for me to construct drum parts but keep everything dead in time through whole song. I cant find away…

Ken S. Ha come on. That’s like telling someone to learn piano or a guitar. It could take years to get good results if a person has never played before. It works great for me as I’m a drummer but I do rely on virtual guitarist vst instruments. It would take me years to play in a great guitar part.

Mark.

All I’m saying is it would be a lot easier to bang in drum parts then to use a mouse and  click in drum parts.
cheers, Ken

Or even play on a keyboard one part at a time. Some though just can’t play in time. Probably includes drummers as well lol.

That’s why SWING time was invented.

Eventually one could get in the swing of things. he,he,he ho,ho,ho

Depends on how drunker are I at end of session.

And yes there are those that can’t keep time with anything like my uncle.

OMG “That’s 1,2,3,4 not 4,2,1,3” and his timing was randomly interrupted by “where are we” and scarcely I didn’t know weather he meant song position, house, planet. etc.

No drugs involved.

sorry for the late reply. If i could drum i would get a set.  I’m 66 years old and can’t drum.

Do I bring from SD3 into my DAW?

Put on track and open in DAW midi editor?

Thanks

Don’t worry about any lack of drumming skills. I have used a trackpad for years to enter grooves. MIDI is just numbers. Once you learn the secrets on how to manipulate the numbers, you can make it just as real and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Yes, you should load SD3 as a software instrument in your DAW and use whichever MIDI editor you are comfortable with. SD3 provides some rather useful tools such as Edit Play Styles which allows you to adjust and experiment with your groove in a more graphical manner. It’s rather neat hearing some of the variations you can come with with it.

We’re both ’56 vintage then 🙂 Like Jord said just open SD3 as a virtual instrument and use whatever MIDI editor you’re comfortable with. Depending on what I am working on I’ll use the DAW editor or the Groove editor in SD3.

Which DAW are you using? There’s lots of Youtube videos out there and there’s lots of help here too!
