Logic Pro #15 - Drummer & Drum Kit Designer

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

NOTE: Two things I wanted to clarify: 1. When using electronic Drummers or some of the newer editions to the Drummer library, the controls in the "details" view are much different, because different parameters apply to these types of drummers. 2. When using electronic Drummers, Drum Kit Designer is not used. I will circle back to this in a future video when we get to the MIDI portion of this series, and cover these topics in more detail.

I'm gonna go ahead and speak for all of us watching this video and say how grateful we are for you making this series! The videos are interesting and engaging and you have a lot of knowledge plus you're a very nice person that's enjoyable to watch give instruction unlike so many of the other videos on KZbin. Thanks so much!

[@rolingstongomes3914]

Hey, thank you for the amazing I just had one question I tried thinking the drums to match the tempo of the audio file, but it isn’t matching. Could you please make a video on how to get the virtual Drummer to follow the tempo of the audio track please? Thank you Keep up the great videos

[@jessamynday9330]

i'm a stay at home momma with two toddlers (also an indie christian artist) and recently got a small studio set up to try to make music in a more affordable way. Your videos have given me so much hope that i can actually learn to use logic and make stuff i'm proud of. I've had SO much more motivation to keep plugging away in my spare hours and minutes since finding this series. THANK YOU. I wish i could bake you banana bread or something hahaha.

[@thewhitbyfox]

It was worth the short wait - this is THE series for Logic Pro and will be the go-to tutorial series. Perfect amounts of info sequenced and paced in such a way as to allow it to stick, and be used for easy access reference at a later time. Nice one and thanks again.

Brooooooooooo ❤❤❤❤❤ I knew bout drummer but broooooo I really knew nothing about drummer that multi output trick just changed my life I pray God blesses 🙌 🙏 you so much for this video I swear bro 🙏 life changing and super inspiring 😮🎉 🌹 💐

[@montcoeur_duoacoustique]

Man I love you and your videos you're literally giving us material worth Thousands of $$ ! thanks from France

[@glennwlove]

I’ve been using drummer for 4 years, but I learnt some cool things I didn’t know in this video. Thank you

[@harrypatterson8797]

This series gave me back faith in humanity. I am gushing with pure bliss and happiness. God Bless you

[@chrisperrine]

been binging all of these videos in this series, HUGE help man! bit the bullet and bought a MacBook and logic a week ago and this has helped a ton! lot's to learn still but starting to get a feel for this!

[@TheB4mvfreak]

YO ON THE SAME BOAT HERE!

[@paulguy2545]

This feature is one of the reasons why Logic is my main go-to DAW of choice, and your videos really help de-mystify things. Its quite a powerful too that can really kick-start your creations, something which no other DAW (except for Apple’s Garageband has). I’m already sub’ed to your channel and really look forward to when you cover Logic’s Electronic Drummer as this is the genre I cover mostly. Keep up this great work!!

[@extantia]

Thanks for covering the basics such as extending the length of a section (without turning it into a loop) either by clicking the plus sign or hovering for a custom length. This would be the third vid I went through to get this basic info, although the others were informative on other aspects of Logic Drummer-

[@chernyokeanmusic]

It's just a monster! Thank you, friend, for a detailed review of the DAW! Good luck to your channel!

[@Motherplantmusic]

Best Logic tutorial for drum designer I’ve seen. I’ve learned so much. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the videos. Thank you!

[@soureel]

Great video. The Drummer feature is amazing. A real gem in the Logic Pro crown!

[@KaranRao9918]

I have no words for your priceless teaching videos based on Logic Pro Series but yes Just tell U a One thing and it is LOTS OF LOVE from INDIA....Live Long Dear....

[@robpearson9526]

Around the 14:20 mark, you talk about the drums just sort of suddenly kicking out, and how you were going to add something softer. DUDE, leave that hang like that, in that spot. It sounds great!

[@sajank9757]

Love your series. Even though I have been using LPX for a few years now, I seem to learn new things with each of you vids. Keep up the good work.

[@ChristianSchebitz]

Understandably formulated, class explained! thx so much!

[@rickfrancismusic]

Great work Tech Help Guy. I love your teaching vids so much. I am able to dig almost as deep as my brain came create since I have been following your channel. I really appreciate how generous you are with your wealth of wisdom re: Logic. So many times now, I have looked up one of your vids when I was in the middle of a project to show me how to do something I hope to be able to do. So far, you are batting a thousand! Thanks again and please keep them coming. I'd be banging my head against the wall sometimes if not for you. Cheers.

[@rivaltheproducer]

I use the Drummer Plugin all the time. But lately Ive been using the drum kit designer. I love that due to being able to create all different types of patterns

[@vewilli]

👍🏻👏🏻💪🏻🙏🏻 Yes, I agree with the other commentators, these videos bring me forward! Logic‘s drummer is one of the best out there and I use it in all my productions where I use drums. I hope I can use it „royaltyfree“, no restrictions as far as copyright is concerned. A „yes“ would assure me to keep on using it.

[@Jimmy.R01]

Hands down the best breakdown of this feature. Thanks a ton!

[@ricardoneves5094]

The multi-output tip is worth the whole video! learned something today. Thanks!

[@thewhitbyfox]

I totally agree

[@tylerama36]

Josh. You are CHANGING MY LIFE! Do you have any idea how insanely great this series is? 🙏

[@davidholler1]

Awesome video Josh. I can't believe how much I learned in 20 minutes.Greetings from Switzerland.

[@Larry_Druhall]

Thank you for another awesome video. The depth of expertise, knowledge, and creative integrative artistic understanding in these videos is astounding. I always learn many new things in each of your videos, even when they are a review (like this video).

[@GMan269]

Always learn something from your videos. This was no exception.

[@basarat]

This was EPIC. Thanks!

[@brightsidemusicstation9935]

the tip about converting to midi is gonna save me. thank you thank you

[@afdis9245]

Speechless. Man if there is a paradise after life am sure you are going to be there … thanks 🙏

[@guzzoofoz]

Love it. Looking forward to seeing the producer kit. 👍

[@forcetheedges]

I use the Logic Drummer in most of my songs. To create a fill/crash transition like you did at the end of the chorus, I usually just pull out the edge of the drummer region a little further past the bar line, and it will add another crash hit. Of course, it's not as customizable as what you did with the sliver regions, so I still learned something!

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

That's a great way of doing it too!

[@cliffsmithguitarlessons]

Wow this video is exactly what I needed - fantastic content, thank you!

[@paveldvorak5402]

Nicely done! Very helpful for my current project. Thank you

[@lindabrittain4392]

Again a great informative and inspiring video. Thank you!

[@jimamsden]

I have found that Drum Kit Designer build on the new Sampler introduces significant monitoring latency if any track has a side-chain input. I usually use two tracks for electric guitar, an audio track for the dry guitar, and a software instrument track for my amp modeler plugin (Helix Native, S-Gear, or Neural DSP plugins). The dry guitar output is sent to a bus that is the side chain input into Helix Native. When I do this with Drum Kit Designer, I get additional latency on monitoring and recording. That doesn't happen with Ultrabeat or EXDrummer as the drum track software instrument.

[@shredder0911]

Been learning a lot from your vids the past few weeks, thanks!

[@LuisTorres-qz5kr]

Continuing my LP learning curve, thank you!

Merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo très intéressante 🙏🎼🎶🎵👍🏼

[@ESR66]

That was really useful information as usual. Thanks

[@geducam]

Simply impressive!

[@philmastman2490]

Another great video! I am surprised at the lack of variety of Drummer rhythm presets available in the library... No jazz, world music, etc. Is there a way to import more of these from third parties? Or some other solution?

[@SonicRSA1]

Sorted thanks MTHG!

[@TheBawss90]

Liked your demo. I have EZdrummer, wondering if I can use the drum tools in logic pro but the drum sounds of EZD once the midi has been designed in logic? Great job explaining.

[@Igaveyoumyfakename]

Fuck Yeah! Finally -- a logic dummer tutorial that makes logical sense to me.

Fantastic. Thanks.

[@malinslamigo]

Thank you so much ..this is so useful

[@Clasam09]

Hey MTHG! I was wondering about Drum Kit (Not drummer tracks, not Electronic Drum Kit)...the actual acoustic samples put together in various kits (ie: Blue Ridge, Bluebird, Brooklyn). Is there any way to map the drums to different pads? I see general midi and V Drum. And are there any other parameters other than Tune, Dampen, Gain? Thanks for the MASSIVE amount of help you've given to myself and others. You are amazing!

[@lukemartin3261]

In one of logics newest updates, you can record acoustic drums and have them come through has midi, so they can be quantized and tuned through samples correctly. Otherwise, without preamps, amps, eq, and a multitude of of other things, you won’t get a good sounding drum. Hope this helps some :)

[@Paeon-fp3bi]

Hi, Thanks for the video. I am wondering if its possible to change where a stressed beat lands/ lead ins start when using logic drummers. For example, I have a few beats break/interlude in the middle of my chorus but this is not registering on the drums so the stressed beat (for when the vocals come back in) is coming at the wrong time. Do you have any advice on this? thanks

[@germy2011]

Amazing like always Josh. I want this song. Its so sad but hits so hard right now #feels

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

Look up Right Stripped - Now That Your Sober. It’s my old metal band. Our full rendition is a bit different though.

[@germy2011]

@@MusicTechHelpGuy Listening to it now! Its sick so far man! Thanks

[@RyanLaquer]

Cheers mate

[@mrsmcbright]

Hi, is there a way to change the tempo of the drums, so it fits the tempo of the song?

So good

[@danieljohanmusic]

amazing

[@paulhand2104]

I just started working with Logic pro x Drummer. I love it. I have a queston though, I got as far as I could go with Drummer in the custom mode and then I converted to MIDI and made more edits in the Piano Roll feature... I wanted to switch it back to the audio view so I could comp tracks and make one take, but when I switched it back to the Drummer it did not save my Midi Piano Roll edits. Is there a way to do that or do i just keep the sections I edtied in the midi view midi? Any help would be great

[@luistirado88]

Is there a way to have the drummer use the kick of another kit? and is there a way to stack kick or snare hits from different kits?

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

Yes, if you look at the channel strip in the inspector for the Drummer Track, you'll see that it's just a Drum Kit Designer instrument (for most of them). If you open that up, you can click on any of the drums, and swap out a different sample. As far as stacking is concerned, you can simply duplicate the track, delete the notes that are not snare drum, for example, and then assign another drum instrument, or kit piece.

[@MilanSamko]

thank you it helped a lot! :)

[@nick_orloff]

why logic drummer producer kits kick is in stereo channel?

[@bc4923]

Are you able to create kits in Drum Machine Designer and then use them in Logic Drummer?

[@andrealuvshouse]

How have you mapped drum Kit Designer so that cymbal chokes played on an e-kit work in Drum Kit Designer? I’ve never been able to figure that out.

[@dannordquist7408]

Hi! How do I switch a drummer time signature? When I change the bpm within a project, the drummer will play along the right bpm. But the problem is it's still in 4/4, when I have the track in 6/4. Any idea?

[@JamesTheChamp]

Which version of LP is this?

[@soontaek]

Thank you so much

[@symphonyserenade.entertainment]

Can anyone tell me what’s the difference with drum software instrument?

[@vegefranz]

vielen Dank 👍

[@jcxperience]

Excellent

[@gianni1646]

Josh, How do you get the text to the right of the piano keys to show each component and what keys will activate the pieces of the drum kit? Thanks!

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

They should show automatically with Drum Machine Designer and Drum Kit Designer instruments. However, if it's not working for some reason, go to View > Drum Names in the piano roll editor, and that should do it.

[@Giannboy1]

@@MusicTechHelpGuy It works! THX!

Thumbs upped, scribe subbed😜

So how the hell can I choose a new kick or snare showing all options? You know, like It used to be easily done with producer kits????????????

[@realguitarshredder]

There are like 15 ads in this video. I couldnt finish it

[@michaelneal900]

The drummer names have no useful information. Makes it hard to find what you need.

[@forcetheedges]

Well to be fair, most people named Kyle are pop rock drummers in my experience.

[@michaelneal900]

No country drummers

[@justinarchinihu1396]

Anyone with a brain can figure this out…how do I use the sounds from the drums and program my own drum pattern

Sweet. but I think you weren't fair to Kyle:(
