Heres a short lessons on how I create some of my drum tracks. To avoid copyright claims I didn't show the method of listening to original isolated drum tracks and building the beats from that.
Let me know any questions or comments and Ill get back to you!

I'm launching my Exclusive 1-on-1 Coaching program, get notified when it goes live by signing up in the link above.
The real MVP award goes to the unsung heroes who upload these drum tabs.
Thanks for sharing this, it's REALLY helpful! There's some songs I've wanted to upload but they would've been blocked by copyright if I used any of the original track. I thought I was going to have to program drums myself and I wasn't really looking forward to that!
Me too!!!!
Thanks for posting
Youre welcome man! Let me know if you have any recommendations for videos :)
Thanks a loooot this is really really helpful.
SUPER SUPER SUPER! Thx🤟🏻
Thanks! This helps a lot
Glad if it helped! \,,/ Let me know if there's anything else I can help with (y)
Karri Hanninen Of course!
Thanks for the tutorial run through using Reaper as your DAW. Very informative and much appreciated 🤘🙂
Awesome, thank you!
Youre welcome man!
And the underrated songs bro? Awesome channel congratulations
how did you do to make the midi mapping to match the ez drummer one? it's something that version of gp does? because everytime I export a midi, the mapping tirns out wrong (for example, the tom notes on the gp sound in the hi hat in the ez drummer interface)
Hey, I havent had that issue but when I tried to google the solution, I found that you should be able to make a preset for a MIDI re-mapping which you can load everytime that you import midi maps:
"You can make a MIDI map to translate the MIDI notes that comes in and what notes should they turn into. It´s pretty easy and you can make it using the JS plugins that comes on Reaper ("JS: IX/Midi_Keymap" is my favourite for this task)."
"You only have to do this once though, and load the preset each time.
Also, I'm pretty sure in the future you can just make sure you're using the right notes in GP. I don't really know how to explain this, but you should use 40 for snare and not 38, even if its the same sound in GP. 57 for crash, 36 for kick, etc etc. What I'm trying to say is that pretty much all my songs are written in GP and then imported to Reaper/SSD and I've never had wrong notes."
I can dig deeper into this if you are still having trouble solving it, so just let me know :)
Karri Hanninen thanks man!
Hope that helped! Let me know if you run into any issues :)
What about bass? Is there any way to make a good sounding bass track from gtp file?
I have to look into that 🤔
Ive heard that theres new bass midi plugins that sound really good on certain metal genres, havent had my hands on them yet so its hard to say how they work regarding dynamics etc :o
@@KarriHanninen i've seen this plugin called "Loki bass" and it sounded great, but all the videos about it are obvious advertise so they can't be trusted. Never heard of anyone successfully using a midi bass for backing tracks thou
Thanks for the tutorial, that seems you really put a lot of effort to make the drum tracks, that is really cool, but the thing is I do aslo have reaper but I don't have studio monitors so my guitar input is my Focusrite Scarlett Solo and and my output is my computer speakers which are hooked up with the back of the computer CPU, so when I tried to get sound from the reaper, I didn't get, can you help me?
If you have the Scarlett as the set audio device, you can use only that for both input and outputs. That means when you are recording with the Scarlett, you have to use Scarlett's output for the playback sound. Do you have headphones you could test the Scarlett output with? :)
Karri Hanninen
I have headphones but I don't have headphones with RCA output, so you are telling that I have plug my speaker or headphones to the output of the audio interface in order to record on reaper.
There should be the headphones output on the front side of Scarlett, Im pretty sure that most DAW's only support 1 audio driver at once, using audio interface means that it overrides your computers audio driver and the program using Scarlett will be only able to use Scarlett when processing sound :/
There might be ways to go past that but Im sure it will bump up the latency a great amount
Got any recommendations on where to find quality isolated tracks? If you can get them.... why not just use those in your backing tracks? Thanks.
how about for bass? Is there a way to import it as a MIDI track?
Quick question how do you do it on Mac
Hey dude, I really like your vids, killer playing, and awesome taste :)
I'm trying to start doing something similar, and I was wondering how you recorded your videos ... are you able to record the video, and guitar audio at the same time? I'm using Reaper and have VSTs for my guitar tones, but have had some issues getting things to not sound like shite while trying to record in OBS. Any advice you had you be very much appreciated. Keep on the rock bro \m/
Hey thanks man!
You can record the audio at the same time, but I record the audio first and video after that. That saves me a lot of time because I dont have to record the video 20x times to get the perfect take.
If you want to record the guitars and video at the same time, I recommend recording the DI guitars on reaper and matching the audio and video at post-production (when editing the video).
You can keep the monitoring on and remember to only have necessary plugins on when recording to keep low latency, you can add eq/gate/effects afterwards :)
If you need more help, just message here :)
Alright, I'll give that a shot. Thank you kindly for the advice.
Great! Let me know if you need any more help :)
Im soon launching 1-on-1 coaching for super cheap price, if you want to know more you can check it out here: bit.ly/KarriExclusiveCoaching
Nice video! do you recommend buying Guitar pro software and ezdrummer for your backing tracks, is this a good investment?
Thanks! I think you could do this with TuxGuitar (free alternative to GP) and for the drum tones Id go for something that sounds good and fits your budget :) EzDrummer should be good if you like the samples 🤘
@@KarriHanninen thanks really appreciate it!
Is there any option if I don't have ezdrummer or other drum program
Mtpowerdrumkit is a free alternative 👍
@@KarriHanninen thank you brother ✨
I was given a Lars Ulrich file when I purchased GP, but I don't know how to apply it, does anybody know?
Hey man, great video! What happened at 7:30? thanks!
Anyone else seeing the lead singer of knocked loose?
Samat softat, sama tekniikka. GP ja Reaper. Sulla on tiukka tekniikka myös kitaran kanssa. Pantera hommat oli hyvää settiä.
Joo toi tapa toimii kyllä tosi hyvin raitojen vääntämisessä! Thänks kommentista!
This app is free?
Reaper has a free trial but EzDrummer is paid, theres free alternatives out there so you can try to google for:
Free drum VST
Guitar Pro that I used for reading tabs also has a free trial :)
paras suomalainen kanava!
Kiitos ja kumarrus! \,,/
