#HOW TO USE ADDICTIVE DRUMS 2 HOW TO#

This is a much more time consuming process, because typically when I do it this way I have little idea of how things are going to develop until I start adding things, so there is a lot of building as I go and the song develops in sections instead of having a start-to-finish plan in my head.

Lastly, if I'm feeling really self-abusive and have a LOT of time to kill, I will flesh out most of the song tracks first to a click track (I use an eighth-note hit hat loop, with the down beats accented), then do the drums entirely from the piano roll adding each hit manually. This typically gives me the best results as I'm creating a drum track that works with every little part of the song (as opposed to just firing up a loop and repeating it endlessly), but it usually takes a couple of hours to get everything 'just right'. You also have to be pretty good with 'seeing' things in the piano roll format, and knowing where each beat is in the grid. I've been programming drums for decades now and the simple, not necessarily helpful answer is - think like a drummer using the 4 appendages that most use. I use live drums a lot of the time however I've moved studios and my live room has been under construction for a while so I'm back to programming drums for a while. Not my favorite thing to do, but I've been getting amazing results and not inferior to what I get with world class drummers. I have most of the drum software out there and for convincing programming I feel Superior with the additional midi packs beats everything by a mile.

I usually flesh out the rest of the song and then come back and work on the fills.
