loving this series bud, nobody does this in real time so its really interesting to see the entire process

Thanks dude!

Awesome video man. I'm starting to program from scratch on drums and watching you do it is cool to see your process. stills struggling on my fills though.

@@GeneoVanEngers Thanks dude! I’ve got some more in-depth videos coming about that stuff too. The thing for me (and this is not the case for everyone) is that the drums are really a placeholder, a close enough approximation that when I send it to a real drummer they’ll at least see where I’m headed. But programming drums is definitely a humbling way to learn that not everyone is a drummer at heart.

@@bloodfirejeff I agree man. my productions really lacked in the drums but now that I been figuring our programing I realize it wasn't my riffs that was lacking but the grooves under them not matching.
