    Jord, no.

    Dear jord, what I meant, is SD3 has no simplified interface for making this beat. The main difference of SD3 from competitors (including its predecessor) is the automation, which allows you to construct a drum track from blocks like lego and fine tune it with a few knobs. Editing the grid is fine by me, I’ve been making drum tracks manually for years. It’s just that I feel that this kind of a rhythm can easily be “tweaked” from a generic 4/4 groove with some knob or button. Just like the Swing feature works, without the need for manual editing. In the same innovative “easy” style that is specific to SD3. For example, the aforementioned Swing knob could do that when it’s in a negative range. That would be fab, no?

    Thank you everybody for your detailed and insightful answers, it seems that using the grid editor is the only way to achieve what I need. Hopefully in future versions Superior Drummer will support an easier way of getting this kind of a beat without manual editing, because I think it can be automated with a Swing-like feature. I grew up listening to that rhythm so I was quite surprised it’s so “rare” these days 🙂 Thanks everyone and happy drumming 🙂

    As I apologised earlier, I don’t know how drummers usually call it… It’s when the second beat comes a quarter earlier, for instance. Here’s an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGYKU7mbv74

    Thank you for the screenshot, but the Swing slider does not move anything to the left for me. When it’s in the negative range, it does almost nothing – with some snap resolution options like 1/32 I managed to move one of the kicks a tad to the left, but in most cases moving it below zero doesn’t change anything. Is it normal, or is it a bug? Or I’m using a wrong groove? I just took a straight 4/4 ballad verse for a test.

    Another thing about Swing is that it’s not quantised, so I’m not sure how to get quarter a beat with it, even if it did move kicks to the left, but that’s nitpicking. Hopefully its value is related to the tempo option somehow.
