Kristofer Dahl28th January 2008Welcome to GMC Kyle!:D I love this lesson.
To those of you who have missed Kyle's introduction: The idea behind this new drum series at GMC is to provide valuable information on drum programming for virtual bands. And who knows perhaps we will isnpire some guitarists to pick up drums as an instrument...! 
As always with new series - your suggestion on how we can improve things are very appreciated. Thanks!
Mark.28th January 2008Cool ! Now I only need to get my parents so far to buy me drums 
Mark.28th January 2008I really like the ´one two three four´ thingie:)
DeepRoots28th January 2008Great lesson, this should help solve my rhythmic problems, could you explain a little bit about your equipment please? (what it is, what you can do with it etc..) It doesnt have strings so its forign to me
Thanks alot and welcome!

botoxfox28th January 2008Nice
Davidian28th January 2008Cool, my brother has a drum, I will sure try this one out ! 
Bogdan Radovic28th January 2008Thanks for this lesson , this is great I liked it very much !! Here is one suggestion , maybe you could include one video of you actually programming this same beat on a computer in you favorite DAW , just how to make a drum midi file would be great using just mouse and counting bars..You can record very easily video from your actual desktop in real time (there are programs for it)...You did a great job on narrating and your voice reminded me of some tutorials I did on editing so this idea popped out 
Marcus Lavendell28th January 2008This is great! Very well explained lesson Kyle!
Pablo Vazquez28th January 2008Nice Lessons! Welcome Kyle!

Dejan Farkas28th January 2008Cool lesson. Welcome Kyle
Joey28th January 2008I want to break your metronome. lmao
Kyle Logue28th January 2008Deep Roots:
I use a Roland TD-6 Electronic Drumkit. It has 99 different drum sets and velocity sensitive pads. So when you hit the pad harder, it's louder and different. As far as what I can do with it...I can basically do everything a drummer can do plus some. The drum kit has a midi connection on the back, so I can hook it to my computer and use it as a midi controller. If you'd like to know more about the kit or my recording setup, I can start a forum topic for you.
David Wallimann28th January 2008Welcome Kyle, great first lesson! Keep it up!
Kyle Logue28th January 2008Bogdan:
Great minds think alike. I plan to alternate back and forth between an actual drumkit and a FREE program that I use to program beats and electronic sounds. Lesson 3 is actually in the making and it is just what you described. I wanted to start with an actual kit though because if you don't have a basic understanding of what a drummer is doing, it's hard to make a beat sound realistic. You can apply all of the principles I've shown you here to a drum machine or sequencing program.
The Uncreator28th January 2008This is an awesome lesson!!
I mean i know this place is called Guitar Masterclass, but this is the kind of stuff that makes this place even more unique than any other site!
Great first lesson
Gabriel Leopardi28th January 2008This is awesome! Great to have you here Kyle! This lessons will help me a lot with my drum programing!
Kyle Logue28th January 2008Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Hopefully I can find a way to take some of my knowledge and deal it out like candy haha.
Mrblomme28th January 2008Welcome Kyle, this is a bomb of a first lesson.
Lazarus Angelo28th January 2008This is so amazingly cool.
I JUST bought a drum set yesterday.
SLASH9128th January 2008Really awesome. Now I just need a drumset
Muris Varajic28th January 2008This is great Kyle,looking forward to more!!!
Welcome to GMC
Kyle Logue28th January 2008Keep in mind...you don't need a drumset to use this lesson. You can apply the concepts to drum machines and sequencers. As new lessons become available you will see examples of how to program beats into free drum loop programs.
TheClansmanDK28th January 2008Good lesson Kyle And warm welcome
Nemanja Filipovic28th January 2008I cant see your lesson in this moment...but Im shore it is great...will say more of it when I see it..

Steve_Hunter28th January 2008Kyle, Great lesson! My two sons and I bought a drum set 6 months ago, which we "play" alternatively with the guitar. We are in desperate need of lessons, and your lesson is very well done! I hope this is the first of many! GREAT JOB!
Kyle Logue28th January 2008Thanks everyone.
Be sure to tell me if there's a specific lesson you'd like for me to create.

at lights end28th January 2008sweet!
my brother just got a drum kit.
this should help a lot.
shellshock191128th January 2008Sweet! Is it possible to make different pitches in drum hits thus applying scales, notes, etc, or is the main purpose a beat?
Hisham Al-Sanea28th January 2008welcome Kyle and nice first drums lesson
Kyle Logue28th January 2008shellshock1911:
You can change the pitch of the drum pads, but not on the fly. I don't know why you would want to do this to match scales though. If you're referring to the backing track, you can put whatever you'd like behind the beat. The main focus of this lesson as well as those to come is the actual beat though.
visi0n28th January 2008wow thats very sweet .. welcome .. great lesson !!
GroovinMastiff28th January 2008Great stuff Kyle! Oh, and welcome
