So I have ez drummer in Logic Pro it has a few kits I forget the names I only messed with it a few times. I always just play guitar related things when I practice. It would be helpful to write a few drum tracks though

One thing that you can try would be to emulate your favorite songs - I tried this with another student and he managed to record a 100% accurate version of Foo Fighter's 'Wheels' - I assisted his progress by giving him the necessary feedback regarding drum writing, bass writing and guitar recording - he ended up with a great rendition, which you can check out here: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&p=643701

Why not choose a simple song - a very simple one, you like a lot, so that you might be able to reproduce the drum track by listening to it smile.gif It's how it all begins.

Good point by Cosmin! Save some time You would spent on composing. Try to focus on drum writting by covering some simple song. When You'll get some expirience it would be fast and easy to make Your own stuff smile.gif You'll see smile.gif

He hid a nice job with that cover, whole mix sound nice.

Are you able to write drum parts out beat by beat in ez drummer or just copy and paste loops. I remember a while ago writing drums in logic with little square grid things. Then I tried Finale but it wasn't real enough, all midi.

I like the sound of ez drummers kits but some of my songs did not exactly fit their templates, is like to try again if I could write the drum beat I'm hearing in my songs.

Hey mate, looks like Darius already had a vid about that smile.gif If you have questions, let me know - things are not that complicated! You need to get acquainted with the grid and understand rhythmic subdivisions so that you may write simple grooves. I never ever used any pre made loops - I wrote everything from scratch smile.gif and the good news is... you can do it too!! Have you tried it so far?

Not totally yet but I am getting the hang of the program. I'm not sure how to start from scratch though, pick a template and clear it?

No no smile.gif Usually, for me things go like this:

I open a midi track in my DAW and assign the EZ Drummer as a pluggin on that track and select a drum set. I open the grid with the piano keys and simply start writing from scratch. If you used Logic, it's exactly the same procedure when writing.

Ok I'll have to give that a whack and I promise that from here on out I will never post a song with a pre made drum loop. mad.gif

Hey Jim, sorry I haven't done anything with this track yet, i've just started a 2 week holiday so it's time for me to get creative so I will still have another couple of listens to your track and see I can come up with anything to add to it.

So, you can play bass too? Well, honestly speaking, it is always awesome to be able to record live bass, rather than writing it smile.gif So, if possible do it that way!
