I would suggest the FL Studio demo as mentioned or looking through sample packs for drumloops. I personally learned a bit from loops by loading them into a slicer and looking at each slice and how everything comes together to create the loop. Most DAWs like FL or Ableton or Reason will let you rearrange each slice in a piano roll or let you separate the slices into individual samples. Just spend some time messing around with loops in your software, because making music isn't something you learn overnight.

This guy is fast, but look how he starts!

Do you see, he has got the feel for the music and has fast workflow!

This obviously doesn't apply to sampled breakbeat genres as much, but for house etc it does!

thanks for posting that video! i wish i could understand what he was saying and i wish i had the same amount of experience....does show me that this seems to be the way to learn how to do it, as it looks like he could easily put what he is hearing in his head into song.

so i've been reading more and more about swing and trying to get a feel for that.

Their are tons more posts like that on youtube! But most of them(even doing house) are playing the beats in live, some are in english too, go back to the link and go deeper into youtube looking for that type of stuff, lots more tutorials.....

well i've been plugging away. it's amazing how much you can learn even from watching music being made in DAWs you aren't using.

i found this while looking at info on the roland tr606:

a break down like that, while not always the set rules, is helping me understand this stuff.

thanks again, for the great thread everyone.

looking for a "cheat sheet" that lists drum programming for different genres?
