![How to Program Metal Drums Guide - Tutorial for Realistic Drums & Cymbals [FREE MIDI File Download]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/3-XkxNpYnEE/mqdefault.jpg)
As someone who is learning to write drums via DAW and keyboard, this was such an eye opener to watch. Thanks!
3 years later and I'm so damn happy to have found this video. I've been struggling with writing midi drums as I don't know the full ryhtmic notation to write out what I feel. I've had my full size digital keyboard for a while and wondered how one uses it to write drums. This explained it to me like a Kindergartner, aka, made it dead simple to understand which is PERFECT. Along with the additional little tips throughout which are inspiring. Great job on the video, and thank you for doing this!
❗️NOTE❗️I forgot to mention that I have my quantize settings set to about 85% accuracy to “Humanize” my quantization!
Thanks for stopping by, please let me know if you have questions, or an idea for a video! =D
I wanted to ask. If I do a fill that have 16th notes and also 1/8th notes but they’re gumbled in the same fill how do I go about quantizing that?
@@cdawg-switchhitter2473 quantize the 16th and turns the snap grid off on your DAW and place the notes 1/8th where you believe they need to be.
@@cdawg-switchhitter2473 wow i am so sorry for the late reply. my notifications are seriously messed up with this app. did you ever get it sorted out, do you need more assistance? please reach out to me on instagram @chris.bedan
This video is actually really good. As a drummer, hearing him acknowledge the “4 Limbs” concept is awesome. I know that there are a lot of air drummer’s, this tip is crucial. Using your limbs while you play back MIDI, will help you realize if you are programming something actual humans can play. I do this every time I program drum tracks for my clients. Good job on the video, well done!
Thank you for this video dude! I found it 2 years ago when I was first getting into recording and this technique has revolutionized my drums. I just couldn't figure out the point and click drum making method. This way seems much more natural and sounds awesome!
Wow this is the type of tutorial I’ve been looking for for such a long time. Hidden gem! Thank you.
That’s so awesome to hear! Really glad it helped out, homie!! 🤜💥🤛
This is a superb quality tutorial, without the unnecessary bits, and well-paced to not feel overwhelmed.
Thank you for reminding me that I don't have to record everything live in one take because I somehow got into this framing and each time dealing with metal drums to create, I had to fight with my expectation of the exhausting process. Great channel!
Dude, your guitar tone is actually perfect. Like, whenever I think of my idea of a perfect tone, it's that. Awesome vids, too. Thanks for sharing!
Not many guitar folks talk about writing drums. Thank you!!!
Heck yeah!! If you’re interested, I have been live-streaming my “new” writing process, they are in the Live section of my channel! Could find some gems in there as well!!
Let me know if there’s anything you think I should cover!
Amazing mate. I love how you make musical choices first and then use the tools to refine it. I'm so tired of technical vids instead of focusing on the music and it's effect emotionally as a priority.
Thanks a million.
Woow bro, I just level up thanks to this tutorial.
Chris thanks again, every time I look at your videos, learn so many things thanks to you.
I will practice more guitar as per your advise.
heck yeah, man!!! really happy that its working out for you! you should check out my livestreams, i have another way of writing that you might find beneficial, as well!
Thank you Chris ! I was stuck with the drum parts but now, with this approach I already see solutions
I've had the MPK Mini in my cart for a while now, and you convinced me to pull the trigger! Great stuff man!
Dude, lets gooo!!! Its such a convenient size and a great piece of kit! Hope you have as much fun as i do with it!
@@chrisbedan Have you tried the Novation Launchkey series? Wondering how important you feel the velocity sensitivity is for programming drums? I know the Akai has better sensitivity range than the launchkey mini in particular.
@@Stu411 ya know, I haven’t!! But velocity is super important, to a point…. Usually you want consistency. But a TINY bit of variation, to keep that “human feel”. But a lot of that you can do manually inside your daw. I mainly used this way to get the notes in quickly. I changed up the way I do things now a bit, you can check it out in my past livestreams! It might be of interest to you
That's so underrated. Thanks for sharing this tuto dude 😊
Thanks a ton for checking it out, dude!! really glad it helped out!
WOWWW, thru this well shot, thoughtful and concise video I discovered that GetGood Drums has a One Kit Wonder: Architects edition?!?!?!?!?! Such a great video too, super helpful - I've been looking for something like this for a long time! Much appreciated : D
Heck yeah dude!! Thanks for leaving a comment!! Super glad it helped!
Great video. I was looking at the same MIDI controller.
Dude, instant like and sub! I was always timid about doing the drums, or even just recording in general. In the first 10 minutes I've watched I am super excited and can't wait to try some of this!
Dude, I am beyond pumped to hear that!
You should check out my livestream videos. I actually made a song from scratch yesterday. Could find some gems in there!
@@chrisbedan ah yes those just showed up in my feed yesterday! I will definitely check those out. Keep on rockin' brother 🤘
Just bought the cheapest guitar on the internet last night and decided to record some chugs (never had or played a guitar before) using iPad. So, iPad Logic Pro x drum pads on screen also did the trick! I have multiple midi controllers as well but this track I just wanted to do on iPad and guitar only. Anyways, my tip is that if you have an iPad, you also can record drums in the similar fashion. Cheers!
Bro this is HUGE! heck yesss!! so glad you found a cool way to get it going!! you should come by a livestream, theres alot of more cool tricks ive learned since then!
Bro I´ve been waiting years to find a tutorial like this in Ableton. I reallly vibe with what you say too. Great work I´ve just suscribed 🤘
Yo that’s awesome my friend! Super glad it came to use! Please let me know if I can help further,
Or if you have any ideas for topics I should cover!
@@chrisbedan actually yes a very simple one. I understand the basic technical drums stuff but I've never used a double pedal so I don't understand how to write it in ableton because of that 😅((I know you want us to experiment and I agree but I don't how they work)).
@@chrisbedan Also if you can make a begginers mixing and mastering would be super cool. I know how to use Ableton but trying to produce metal music in Ableton is a new thing for me. Thanks for being super awesome. ((I will check the other videos maybe you already uploaded something like that XD))
🤘
@@awtriphop hopefully this link works. I did a “stock challenge” on ableton live to see if I can get a mix to sound good with the stock plugins. I think I might do another mix walkthrough once my bands single comes out!

Excellent video! Perfect delivery, well spoken and demonstrated. New subscriber here. Thanks!
Ayy! Thanks for checking it out, brother! Appreciate you!
Great stuff man love the video! i can't play drums as well so this helps a lot bro.
Love this tutorial! Defo gonna use this writing concept!
Hey, thanks for checking out the video my friend! Glad you got some value from it! 😊🙏🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼
Just what i was searching, puro gold men❤
Oh man, thats soo awesome to hear! really glad it helped out!
This is an absolute gem, thank you so much for making this, I truly appreciate the info AND the insight/inspiration
Really good Job 🎉 very helpful content chris !
Awesome, glad it was of value to you!
If you were interested, I’ve been live-streaming my songwriting, with a different sort of technique. The videos are under the “live tab” of my page, check it out!
Great tutorial. I have the same Keyboard but never used it like this. Thank you!
Awesome video, great work 🤘🏻
I subbed more bc the songs a banger than the tutorial itself. Still helpful as ever but that riff and backtrack is fantastic
Great tips. Great tutorial. Just be sure to watch out for 3 hits at once, like the 2 crashes & a snare at the same time in your groove. Sure you already know this by now though.
I hope you can make a video on how to map midi keyboard on GGD drums.
I subbed as soon as I heard the song, we lit
Thanks so much bruv!!
What a fantastic video.. Just found your channel and this was a great video and very helpful to me. As interesting to me is the way you use the Session view to build some of this out.
Please make a video about how you’d go about the quantizing all the different variants of notes within the same groove.
Hey man, I’ll be on stream a little bit later, we can talk about it there! Twitch.tv/chrisbedan_
Watched a ton of these over the years. This is very well done and informative.
I appreciate this unfortunately I had to sell my electric drum kit due to financial difficulties and purchased one of these drum pad / keyboards I’ve been writing all of my own music and this video has really helped in the sense of doing things one step at a time and not all at once
Thanks again, I wish you would do a video on how you assign the keys and pads specific drums. I've never tried to do drum programming before and am still new to all this lol
Wow, you have such great ideas. Very well done video, love your approach. You’re also well spoken and show great aptitude with your writing. Spot on, and really informative!
Awesome video man! The way you explain in such a Zen kinda state is pleasant to watch. You deserve way more views for sure. Hope you make more videos about the proces of writing songs within a DAW especially the drumming part🪄 One question why do you use 2 interfaces and not just one with more capabilities? Keep rocking bro😎👊🏻
Awesome tutorial! Thanks for sharing this.
thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience bro
Thank YOU for trusting me, brother!
Yes more content! I have a question. Did you already cover how you got that kick fat in another video? The final song had the fusion kick nice and juicy .Thanks
Thanks for the support, brother!! Appreciate you!
Also, I covered it a little bit inside of the “stock plugins” video I did a bit.
But believe it or not the kick on the original song is the new Aggressive Rock pack kick! It has such a nice punch to it! The only thing I did was reduce around 6-8k to remove some of the “click” type sound!
Cool video bro!! much appreciated !
Actually pretty inspiring
Love the track dude! 🤘🏽
Awesome vid man! But how did you map the kick to the keys tho? by default its on the pad but I want to change it to the keys like how you have it setup
Hey brother!! if you head over to the settings tab in GGD you are able to map there. Click on the little red button and tab the key you want to map TWICE.
let me know if that helps or if you need more direction!
Chris, guitar are you using here for this song? VST’s? The tone is so nice
Great video! Thanks bro!
Hey, thanks for checking it out my friend!! Thanks also for leaving a comment!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm in the process of upgrading my studio... I've been using kind of a daw less setup using a fractal fm3 into an mpcx. Last week I got an Asus rog zephyrus g14 and bought ableton live 11 suite. I'm trying to use my tube amps into a two notes torpedo live into a scarlet 18i8. When I record into the scarlet mono and I try to pan hard left or right I get this horrible digital static. Even when I use my keyboard out into my strymon pedals into the scarlet I get horrible static. It's like a stereo issue... any help would be appreciated
I will say this though... I'm happy with ableton. I've used it in the past and it was cool but I decided to devote myself to one daw and so far ableton is exactly what I've been needing
nice man; I need help with color correction, how do you get your videos so clear? Im asking because you said you do graphic design & video stuff. oh...any mixing tips, your mix sounds awesome!!!
The process of adding kicks, then high hats and then fills, is it called step writing? I want to do this same process with my "midi roll" and ezdrummer2.
really cool video!! thx :)
I love stuff like this but what I would love even more as a non guitarist is how would a riff like that look like as midi. I feel like there is something missing in my riffs
Hey there, you should really check out my livestreams! i think there is alot of stuff you might find of value!
Heyy loved the video bought my own midi keyboard now I have no idea how to map the drum VST to it haha any directions ??
Time to dust off the ol' midi controller. Good tips. Subbed.
Heck yesss!! thats what i like to hear!! thanks for checking out the video, my friend!!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. Dig the riff. Curious Is that in drop C tuning?
Thank you YOU for checking it out and leaving a comment my friend! And yes, this song is C tuning! It’s actually C G C F Bb C
Great video! Just curious - Would you ever use drum pads (i.e. iRig, etc) vs a keyboard at all? Or is the keyboard more responsive? Thanks!
Hey man, it’s honestly personal preference! There is an amazing hand drummer by the name of David Haynes, he uses the korg pads sometimes, and has the best dynamics!
Hi Chris, thanks for this great video! Can you please tell me if this method of recording one instrument after the other is also possible in Studio One as well?
you wouldn't have a problem with latency in big DAW projects if you ditched the iMac and switched to a windows desktop that can be upgraded. ;)
What soft do you use? Thanks!
Hey man, great vid. Do you think the Ableton Session View is better for recording this type of stuff? Is there any advantages? Thanks
Apologies for the delay my friend.
Honesty it’s personal preference. Sometimes I’ll start my riffs in clip view, then send it over to session view to finish it off!
Where can I buy that music you were playing at the start of the video?
Dow do you map your drums? I have a 25 key midi controller and I'm having a hard time finding an efficient mapping for them.
Yo man great video but how do you do this on studio one 6 with ggd P4 and a akai mpk mini plus I need to know now help please lol 😅 🤪 😢
So this video gave me the confidence to go ahead and buy the keyboard, I’m now sitting in front of it with ezdrummer 2 connected to it but I can’t seem to figure out how you record each section over top one another without erasing the next one. Do you have all the channels separate?I’m using reaper. Can you please help me with this? Or just give me a clue on where to start. Please and thank you man.
Hey man are you using Ableton?
@@chrisbedan hey man. So I’m actually using reaper. Made the switch from pro tools a few weeks ago. I figure if you give me the general idea or how you do it in ableton I could transcribe that into reaper. Thanks so much for the speedy reply. I’m sitting here starting to feel a bit defeated
@@cdawg-switchhitter2473 yeah man, I feel your pain. There’s always a process of figuring these things out.
So Ableton has a feature where you are able to “overdub” your midi. I wonder if reaper has that same sort of setting.
I’ll have to see what it’s called in Ableton.
@@chrisbedan that’s exactly what it was man. You’re the man. Thank you so much. Reaper has just about everything I ever needed in pro tools. The only thing I like more was the trimming. But I’m all honest it makes it better because now I have to nail my parts no matter what instead of trimming the end of a guitar track for a half hour lmao. Seriously thanks again
@@cdawg-switchhitter2473 that’s awesome man, glad reaper is working out for you brother! Also, just letting you know that I started streaming on twitch everyday, so if you wanted to come by and say hi! Twitch.tv/chrisbedan_
excellent
brooo, how do you get that professional mix sound?? if you can answer i will be very grateful!
Hey dude!! i would recommend checking out some of my past live streams. there is a TON of mixing stuff going on in there! lots of gems!
When i quantise though it never quantises accurately and puts so many of the notes in the wrong transients
Hey man! sorry for the delay. sometimes this could be because of your quanitize settings. i usually have it on 1/16th. thats a good middle ground. however, if you have some faster parts it may be 1/32. i would experiment! let me know if this helps, my friend!
I just bought an MPK MINI and want to start making my own (metal) songs but I only have a laptop, would I be able to do it with just these? what program would I need?
Thanks
btw it's an MPK MINI SPECIAL EDITION(RED)
BASS PROGRAMMING PLZZ
Hey dude!! you should REALLY check out my past livestreams. i think it could REALLY be beneficial for you!
7:20 when i record hi-hat.. the kick is gone!! where the setting
also if I need to get a desk top what would be a decent one to start with
How you record internal audio on macOS ?
Hey man, great question! You will need an external audio interface (sound card) with inputs for a guitar and or microphone!
I recommend something like this!

Wait.. are you asking how I record my daw?
@@chrisbedan yes i know how to record screen on my macbook but i still haven't found a way to record audio like in tutorials like yours
I love you
first apearance bro use ggd in video demo
@@doriyaki6654 lol but what’s your point, tho?
Dude I dont think your riff is in 4/4. Im hearing 7/4 i may be wrong tho
haha for sure!! it might be!! i really dont worry about that stuff too much.. until i really have to, hahaha
Like. Like. Like.
Nice video, but, man, drummers can’t play 2 cymbals and snare at same time 😂
hahaha its soo funny you say that because i watched the video back not too long ago and realized that i did that! thats where the review phase comes into play!
Thanks for checking it out, and commenting brother!
