Colin, you're the man and have become for me synonymous with all things GarageBand and Logic. Thank you for doing what you do. I believe the reason one of the snare style options is "tom" at 13:21, is that it gives you the ability to write a tom into your manual pattern, since they only included kick and snare for manual editing. It would be nice if they included toms (and crashes) in the manual pattern (maybe a future update?), but this is a very usable workaround. It is amazing how Logic 11 allows you to customize kick and snare and have the rest of the kit and the style filled in accordingly. When I look at the midi underneath some of these patterns, there are constant changes that people don't realize - changes in articulation, intermittent foot pedal activity, and other things that you just wouldn't know to do as a non-drummer. These things make Logic 11's drummer easily the most realistic programmable drummer I've ever used. Just insane. (I'm finding more and more tricks the more I play with it). Rock on! 🥁
Hey Colin, that was great thank you very much! I'm a singer-songwriter, very much rhythm challenged - meaning it's very hard for me to play to a click - and I've used about every virtual drummer tool there is. I used the old Logic Drummer quite a bit, but was never quite happy. Started using the new Drummer Session Player and again it was more interesting, but still had a hard time getting to what was in my head. Your video explained a few nuances that I hadn't seen in others (I've watched them all!) and I can't wait to dive in on my next project! Cheers!
As an artist who doesn't play drums, I almost never use them in my music. I think this tutorial was extremely helpful and I'm going to try it on a song or 2 and take it from there!! Thank you!!
Your videos are really helpful. One suggestion, though. You could be more detailed and specific at times with regard to HOW you do things. You often tell what can be done without saying what you need to select to do it. Telling the specific steps would be very helpful for me.
Thanks.I appreciate all you do to help out.I just updated to Logic and feel a bit overwhelmed with the many ways to do drums (along with DMD etc too).Big thanks.
Hey Colin, great video as usual. Like you, I’m a lapsed drummer and I love how quickly Logic or GarageBand drummer gets me a great groove to work from. For creating new music I usually stretch the drum groove to the typical length of a song and then divide it up later and set fills and dynamics once I’ve played some parts over it and have an idea what the structure of the new song might be. I’ll leaning towards buying Logic now because of the chord track and AI Session players. I think I could really use these. Is there a way I can buy Logic which helps you and the channel?
I really like your tutorials. Thanks! I have some problems with the 11. First, it updated itself automatically from 10 to 11. So I lost my old 10. I miss it sometimes, I guess I will get used to 11. A problem with 11 is that it has missounds, especially when recording the bass. Most times it sounds better when I turn off and restart 11. So I wonder should (can) I delete the app and redownload. Or do I lose everything? Greetings from Finland.
Logic Drummer is literally the best sounding drum sampler I've ever used - sounds incredible. I've spent way too much money on things like EzDrummer and it doesn't even come close
Thank you Colin! hey, what's the best way to get a very simple and steady beat? I want something very basic that I can play along with on guitar to practice my timing. All the presets have too much going on for me. Thanks!
I've been using Logic drummer for a while, and I appreciate its intuitive interface. I also have EZ drummer sleeping on my hard drive, and whenever I try it, I'm overwhelmed by how much better its sounds are. However, I find that interface a bit of a nightmare. Even their "bandmate" feature gives me a headache. Is there a way start out with Logic drummer and then finish up in EZ drummer, or am I setting myself up for twice the pain? Sorry to bother you with this question, but the TH-cam guys who try to explain EZ drummer are doing a lousy job, at least the ones I've found so far.

I got the email, but it just linked me back to this very same video above, not a checklist.

you're the best garageband/logic guru around - thanks very much for this tutorial!
I appreciate the support!
13:22 Live Forever uses tom for snare in the intro beat

completely agree w Kevin. You opened my eyes on drumming sounding more real.
Thank you Thank you. I was quite confused by the update until I came across this TH-cam clip.
Great!

Thank you Colin. I was about to email you to ask if you'd do a tutorial on the new drummer! Fantastic, as always.
Very cool. Anxious to try layering a Logic beat with a second manual track (like an extra beefy kick in certain sections, or...)
Thanks for another great and super informative video 😎
Another HIT! Thank you Colin. Always intelligible and concise. Best on the tube!

Very useful - thank you!
Got the trial to mess w session drummer and you can use 3rd party VSTs as a sound source.
Great video. You really get to the point with useful information.
The best drum tute out there.
Great overview Colin. Thank you.
Have they changed any of the sounds or added any new kits? I'd love a nice dry kit :)
Excellent video. Thanks : )

It's insane that it's all included for free in Logic
Great video! I was kinda turned off at the new Drummer at first (where's Kyle? where's Logan?). But it has a lot of features that make things easier.
👏👏👏👏👏
What is the Follow Chords?
Thank you Colin! hey, what's the best way to get a very simple and steady beat? I want something very basic that I can play along with on guitar to practice my timing. All the presets have too much going on for me. Thanks!
Ah, at the end of the video you explain the Manual setting. That'll probably do it for me. good stuff.

You can! You just change out the Drum Designer plugin (at the very top of the channel strip) for EZ drummer.
@@TheBandGuide Wow, thanks! Can't wait to try that.
