I want to learn how to program drums

[Teej212]

any suggestions for programs, tutorials, tips, etc? any help would be appreciated. im not looking to make extremely complex beats, just somthing to go along with some electronica. thanks <3

i'd suggest a loop program (i use acid). drum machines take an enormous amount of time. just experiment, use the paint brush, stack loops, etc. it's pretty intuitive. i think you would need a tutorial for using the program, not for composing beats. your ears are the best teacher for that.

Something good to do is download guitar pro tabs from ultimate-guitar and then look at the drum tracks. Just helps with understanding the patterns and articulations.
