With the growth of virtual drumming software now available – including BFD, Superior Drummer and Steven Slate Drums – it’s never been easier to produce and program ‘acoustic’ drum tracks. However, despite the wealth of MIDI pattern files often included with these packages, there’s still a lot to be said for mastering the art of sequencing your own drum tracks. Here we’re exploring the process of ‘acoustic’ drum sequencing, using a variety of techniques in Logic to achieve a realistic performance. For the purposes of this Logic Pro 9 tutorial we’re going to use some of the standard drum kits included with the EXS24. They’re good starting points, but it’s also worth trying the techniques with a more refined set of drum samples, perhaps one of the libraries mentioned above. Vanilla Drums Let’s start by creating a basic ‘vanilla’ drum sequence, opening the empty two-bar region on track 1 using the Piano Roll Editor.

In theory, you can use the Hyper Editor, but I prefer using the Piano Roll Editor as its colour-coding system makes the use of velocity nice and easy to see (which is something we’ll be returning to later on). For now, create the basic sequence, placing the kick on the downbeats (beats 1 and 3, in other words), the snare on the upbeats and a hi-hat playing 8th notes. Although the rhythm sounds mechanical at this stage, it arguably forms the key building block of the majority of drum patterns. One of the key qualities of a realistic drum sequence is the use of velocity, which helps to define the accents within the rhythm as well as mimicking the natural way in which a drummer hits certain parts of the bar louder than others.

In this example, we’re going to start to define accents by attenuating the velocity every other 8th note. To do this, select the alternate 8ths in the first bar and then select the local menu item Edit>Select Equal Subpositions (this is a great technique for selecting the same rhythmic divisions across a number of bars). Now reduce the velocity, using either the Velocity tool or the Velocities option as part of Hyper Draw (found at the bottom of the Piano Roll Editor). Two Hands Think carefully about how real drummer would play the rhythm, being particularly wary of patterns that aren’t playable with just two hands. As an example, let’s change our basic 8th pattern to one that uses 16ths on the hi-hat. Again, use the Select Equal Subpositions feature to avoid unnecessary duplication of activities across bars, and consider refining the velocities further so that the added 16th notes fall at a lower velocity. The key point, though, is to delete the hi-hat whenever the snare occurs, as a real drummer would be alternating between their left and right hands to play such a fast-moving pattern.
