Thank you, now I can program a MIDI beat more acurately.

I'm assuming the x on the snare is just hitting the rim, correct? Also, how do I get my hi-hat and bass drum to sound cleaner and quieter? Anyone know?

[@SightReadDrums]

The x on the snare is a rim-click, yes. You will just need to put in the hours of practice until you become more comfortable with it!

Play bass drum heel down on the pedal, raising the foot less then you think it's necessary. For a quieter hi-hat you can either use lighter sticks or -which I encourage you to do- experimenting with different angles and stick heights. You'll be amazed on how the whole feel of the groove can change just by adjusting the hi-hat sound.
