How to Program Drums for Beginners Tutorial

How to Program midi drums as a beginner can be very difficult to learn, especially for metalcore, djent, thall and even rock genres. Today I'm going to breakdown the easiest way to get comfortable as a guitar player to program what's in your head onto the drums. So grab your best guitar, budget or not, and let’s make the difficult task of programming drums easy. I’m using Ableton Live 12 for this video but the techniques work in Reaper, Protools, Logic and other DAWs.

I'm Brendon Padjasek of the band Structures from Toronto, Canada and welcome to my channel based on modern metal, djent, and deathcore music, production, mixing and song writing.
