Fantastic video, perfect explanation and walk through of Drummer.
So glad you found it helpful. Thanks for your great comment 👍🏾
Super helpful! Other tutorials tend to fly through or gloss over some critical details - you nailed it! Explanations are clear and visuals very well presented. Also: engaging while still to the point. Thank you!!
Thank you very much Puck Jones for your great feedback. This is really helpful and encouraging. Truly appreciated. Cheers 😀

WOW, the Best tutorial I've seen yet,...Thank you so much..
You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. More to come soon. Cheers 😀
Been using Logic for over 2 decades & just really getting into its depths. From Queens, NY, thanks my brother!
So glad to hear that you’re diving in deeper into Logic now my friend. There’s just so much to uncover in this incredible DAW. Enjoy the journey 👍🏾
Thanks man, keep the great content coming@@MTTC
Interesting video! Learned something. Thanks!!
Much appreciated Oswin 🙏🏾
Many thanks for posting,I have used Logic for several years now,and there were one or two things I didn’t know.
I’m really glad the video has revealed some more of Logic’s secrets. Hoping it helps you in your music productions Mr M L. Cheers 😀

I learned something from you today about logic pro and instruments, much respect watching you from Jamaica
Respect from 🇬🇧 my brother 🙏🏾
Tnx for the vid. Great tutorial!
Awesome. Thanks a lot for the feedback. Cheers 😀
Very informative !!! Thanks !
Excellent. Thanks for your nice feedback. Cheers 😀
Recently upgraded from logic 9 to 10 and blown away by drummer, great fun, intuitive and sounds awesome!
Oh wow my friend you really have been missing out. I also resisted the upgrade for about a year or so after version 10 came out as v9 was so stable. How the current Logic is a completely different beast. Enjoy 😀
Man that was a great tutorial.....great job my brother...
Thanks a lot for your great feedback Sal. Truly appreciated. Cheers 😀
Great video brother, love the Groove Track feature.
Yeah the Groove Track and Follow Track features are amazing. Thanks for the great feedback. 🙏🏾
It’s the stuff of dreams. I use it extensively. Always great hearing from you, thanks for the great videos. Your demo track is really tasty, too.

@@MTTC YES! 😂💪
Great video thanks, you're a good communicator. There is initially one thing I can't duplicate. In your track header you have a graphic representation of the drum kit which changes whenever you change kits. This is the same graphic that updates in the Drum Kit Designer window. I am running Logic Pro 10.8.1. In my track header I only get the static user selected icon, not a dynamic icon that changes with the kit. It must be a setting somewhere to make this icon dynamic - please advise. Thanks
Just found this link and subscribed. We are a non digital band but wanted to try this drum feature in one of our mixes to try different sounding kits. a lot easier than being physical kits in studio just for experimenting.
Believe me you cannot go wrong with Logic’s Drummer. There’s just so much you can do with this awesome tool and it so often goes overlooked. But take your time and figure it out and transform your music productions. I’m using it and releasing music with own tailored Drummer grooves all the time. Cheers 😀
Great!
Thank you 🙏🏾
Man, I have never heard of the Groove Track thing in Logic. Mind blown!
Yeah man. It’s been there for ever and it works really well. Thanks for the positive feedback 🙏🏾
Thanks!
Thanks so much. I truly appreciate the support LTBlue Dev. 😊
Cheers.
Duce.
Thank you.
I appreciate your feedback Ilos 😀
Duce.
Thanks for the amazing tutorial! Really well explained and in depth! I was wondering...using one of the various drum kits, is there any way to map the samples to different pads and or keys? Thanks for the amazing work!
Thanks so much for your great comment. Truly appreciated.
In answer to your question, you can remap the samples from the Drummer Kits but first you must convert the groove you have created using Drummer to MIDI. Then you’ll get access to the Drum Machine Designer plugin which drives all of the kits and samples. From here you can remap and save as a custom kit. Incidentally I’ll be releasing a follow up video on Drummer uncovering some of the more advanced techniques you can use in your productions so stay tuned. Cheers 😀
Duce.
Outstanding tutorial... I never use this but I may give it a shot today.. Thanks Bro.. How you been? Stay blessed my man..
JT my brother. Great to hear from you. Thanks for the feedback as always. Yes the Drummer in Logic is fantastic for a range of genres. Hope you’re keeping well bro. All is well on my end. Be blessed 🙏🏾
On the South American continent some indigenous rhythms of this region are used such as Bambuco in 6/8, I have spent more than 2 months trying to configure this Drummer so that it follows the beat of the electroacoustic guitars and I have not been able to, I would like it if you could give some guidance in this regard dear Master, very grateful in advance for the suggestion you can give me.
A hug.
Thank you so much my friend. You are very kind. It would be my pleasure to help you with this.
Please reach out to me via instagram or through my website so we can continue the conversation in a better way. My very best wishes from a rainy and miserable UK 🇬🇧 ☔️
Great video.. just getting into this with logic.. considering moving over from bitwig
Thanks for the positive feedback David. Logic is amazing. I’m biased though having used it coming up 30 years now. Definitely worth checking out. Cheers 😀
Duce.
David, this is so helpful! Thank you. I stopped recording for a while but now I’m going back and I realize how much time I wasted in the past. I never used the groove tracks previously? This seems to be the ideal way to get everything “in the pocket”. Just hitting “the follow“ button in LPX drummer really isn’t enough. Also, what if my guitar or bass audio tracks are slightly off in terms of timing? It seems like the groove tracks will fix everything and I don’t have to do endless quick swipe comping like I used to or even re-recording the parts.
Hey Scott. Thanks a lot for your great feedback. I’m so happy that you have delved into the incredible rhythm locking features in Logic. There’s just so much that goes overlooked. I’m currently exploring the new features in Logic 11. They’re insane. Keep on grooving my friend 🙏🏾
Thanks for sharing this detail and easy to understand. I wanted to ask if it is recommended to record a drum track first. My goal is me playing acoustic guitar then singing on a vocal track. Thanks !
Hey John. Thanks a lot for your great feedback. As for your process you can start with a drum groove, build up your production around that then modify the drums as you go along and the song develops. One of the most amazing things about Drummer is its flexibility and one’s ability to make either subtle or dramatic changes to the groove at any point in the song where needed. Happy Drummering 🥁🥁🥁my friend 😃
Hey Deuce, could you share what command you used to mute the kick in the drummer track at 17:17 cause you just said "like so". Thanks a million for what you're sharing in all your videos ... Logic is so rich, there's just so many hidden gems 🙂
Thanks for your great feedback Vincent. The key command I used was M as I have this set up to mute regions and notes. The standard key command is Control M which should work for you if you have not changed it like I did. Cheers 😀
Hey Deuce, love your video tutorials !! -quick question about the drum track in logic - how do I see the drum score /notations of the drum machine?
Thanks a lot Orly. Such a fantastic question. Firstly yes absolutely you can display the drum notation to show what is happening in the drummer track. However it will be much easier to demonstrate this than to explain it here. I’m going to screenshot your question and give you a shout out when I make a video answering this really soon. Thanks again and look out for the video. 👍🏾
@@MTTC you’re awesome ! Thank you!
Is the Groove Track totally different to the Follow function within each Drummer region ? Does one override the other, or can I further enhance the relationship by having the overall Drummer Groove to the bass and have the regions follow rhythm guitar etc ? I better experiment !
I usually have the region Follow rhythm guitar , with great results but you have made me think of including bass and rhythm.Together.The Groove Track I forgot about.
Thank you for another excellent tutorial.With sweet music too.Your music is so rich in feel, proper music.
Thanks for your very positive feedback HK. The Drummer Follow feature is quite different to the Groove Track in that with Follow you can get Drummer to imitate another instrument whereas with Groove you get instruments to groove together as you would in a band. Both are worth exploring. Cheers 😀
Could you answer one question? Is there any way to multi out logic drummer? I'll check back to see if you responded. Very helpful video, especially that groove track trick. Been using Logic for quite awhile with many courses, and never heard of that. Thank you.
Thanks for the great question George. Yes absolutely you can multi output your Drummer tracks. Once you are satisfied with your Drummer performance across your production duplicate the Drummer track and regions then mute the originals as a safeguard should you need to go back. Now right click on the duplicate regions and choose Convert to MIDI. Once the Drummer regions are in MIDI format you will see that they are all on individual output tracks in a Track Stack. 😀
Drummer in Logic is amazing. BUT CAN WE TAKE A MOMENT TO APPRECIATE THAT TASTY BASS? 😁😎
😂😂😂😂 you are too kind my friend. Truly appreciate your fantastic comment. Cheers 😀
Duce 🎸
Awesome master! Logic drummer is cool!! How do i mix the drums?
Good question. Hmmm 🤔 seems I ought to make a video on mixing those drums. Watch this space mate. Cheers 👍🏾
Awesome.
Thank you so much. Appreciated 😄
Duce.
@@MTTC when I start my next project I’ll be watching more of your videos. I’ll be doing all drums with the logic drummer. Is it hard to add fills etc? So far this looks easier than EZ Drummer.
@@Celticsaint777 doing fills is a breeze and adjusting the complexity of them, totally child’s play. Please do keep watching as I’ll be doing more videos using Logic’s Drummer very soon. Cheers 😀
Duce.
@@MTTC you’re awesome. Thank you and God bless.
@@MTTCdo you have videos on how to do the cool keys tracks etc??
Groove track verses follow track? What is the real benefit of each? Thanks good tutorial.
Now that’s a great idea for a video Larry. I’ll definitely give you a shout out when I put it together.
Cheers 😀👍🏾
Cool video. Do you happen to know if this is available in MainStage as well? I mostly use Ableton, but I also own MainStage.
Thanks a lot for the positive feedback. I'll be completely honest with you. I have no idea if the Logic Drummer works with Mainstage. Sorry.🙂
@@MTTC I did a bit of looking around, and it looks like it's available in GarageBand for free (possibly stripped down).
@@whoadog8725 Yes it is in GarageBand and although stripped down there’s still plenty in it. 👍🏾
Regarding the groove track, when I assigned the Logic drummer as the master and have my audio bass track following there’s some occasional artifacting and whooshing. Do you possibly know what that could be? It seems like it could be flex related but it’s so time-consuming fiddling with the flex markers.
Great question Raph. It does sound like a Flex issue. If you’re on an earlier version of Logic V10.6x etc the algorithms are still not as good as they are in later editions. I’d try 2 things. First, bounce your Drummer tracks to audio and see what happens then with the new audio track as master. Second, make sure all of your Flex selections are set to POLYPHONIC as this makes the world of difference. Hopefully you will find a solution. Cheers 🙏🏾
Thank you, David! I’ll definitely give that a shot and let you know what happens. I’m in Logic 10.7.9
My drum kit doesn’t have the plug in icon to get to the pop up window. I converted it to midi but I tried changing it back to a drummer track and still it’s just at the top rather than in the plugins section where it can be clicked to open the window 8:41
I’m sorry but I’m not 100% sure what you mean. The button that is missing, was it there to start off with when you opened up Drummer in the first place?
Everything I need to know EXCEPT how to put two drum regions, from the same drummer, within the same track, as shown in this video. Help! That one has been the bain (bane) of my drummer editing troubles. My searches are not yielding that answer.
Hello! Quite recently started out with logic and having this problem when pressing play the first kick hits are off time, like they're rushed almost. Only happens when starting playback from the exact beginning of the drummer region, not when having 1 bar of space before for example. Know any solution for that?
You know what I remember there was a time when I used to experience the exact same thing with Drummer. Somehow it resolved itself but at the time my solution was to convert the offending region to midi then quantize or drag ONLY that first kick directly onto the grid. This was a workaround but like I said the problem stopped occurring at some point and I don’t know why.
@@MTTC thats a weird issue! Im not the only one atleast, apprecaiate the help!
Have a good day!
where to get drum sets or drum pack library for logic drummer
Logic Pro comes with a great set of drum kits all perfectly set up and ready to go with a range of different exciting drummers too.
If you want to add additional drum sounds using the drum machine designer then Splice . com is a great resource for that. Cheers 😀
Hmmmm. Would you suggest this for reggae or not really suited? I’ve ignored it this far and just sampled or programmed directly. Now starting to mess with modo drum but I have to give Logic a real go. Respect as always
Respect bro. I’d say you definitely can use Drummer for reggae however it will take a little time to master the swing adjustments and you will need to convert your parts to MIDI for full control over Riddim style ie One Drop, Rockers, Stepper etc. Bless 🙏🏾
Duce.
@@MTTC I have set this as a challenge to myself. The swing can be tricky, but I do like the easy 'Follow' feature for kicks and snare in relation to y other tracks, very very helpful for keeping everything tight and something my usual workflow doesn't automatically have. Still not there yet, one love
@@Reggi_Sample Keep going my brother 👊🏾One love
how to place the midi files in their own instrument place?
Hey there. I’m sure I have covered that in one of the videos I did on Drummer 🥁. I’ve done a few so have a look at the other ones 🥁
Deuce,I want to buy your drum kitsch please send me link to your site..
Hey DJ Willy. Download everything here for free from my website
musictechtraining.com/downloads/
Do you have to play your track TO the drummer or is it possible for the drummer to play WITH your already made track?
Great question. Drummer is great at working with the composition you have already made. Just use the Follow Track feature I covered in this or the next video I did on Advanced Drummer features and you will realise the power of this tool. Cheers 🥁
@@MTTC Thank you so much! I'm excited AGAIN... Smh I was so discouraged. Now, I'm ready to really try it out. You're the best!
@@LadyonKeys wonderful. Keep on going. It’s going to be worth it 😀🙏🏾
@@MTTC I will, no doubt! You'll see me on here, making noise LOLOL Thank you for your encouragement!
How do you open this?
Good question James. Open by clicking the Add New Track button in the Logic Pro. Then select the Drummer option from the window that opens and you will be good to go 👍🏾
Can anyone tell me if Drummer is included in the original Logic X? If yes, thanks
Yes Des. Drummer has been part of Logic Pro X from the start as far as I can remember 👍🏾
@@MTTC Thanks brother. I'm an Live man myself but have played around with Logic. Your tute made me wanna dig deeper. Cheers man
Great! But when I audition drummers the tempo stays the same.
Great question Eric. Try this. Start a new clean Logic project and create a drummer track as the first track in the project. Now switch between styles and drummers and the tempo will change. Hope that helps. Cheers 😀
Duce.
@@MTTC Thank you for your response but I tried that and the tempo remained the same as I auditioned. I have the latest Logic Pro x 10.7.7 and I noticed when you changed drummers the tempo changed. Makes it really nice when auditioning.
ok I get it. Sometimes the hard things are stoopendously easy. I'll take copy paste for 500, Alex.
😂😂😂
I’m glad you got it figured out JL. I felt your pain in the first post then the relief in the second. Been there so many times my friend. Keep on hacking away it can be a frustrating experience at times but we’ll worth the effort in the long run cheers 😀
And yeah copy and paste is a great solution 😃
Duce.
Drummer is the only reason I’m in debt for a friggin MacBook. I could find no truly comparable alternatives in other DAWs.
Oh my my my. Uggles it’s a shame that you have had to go into debt for the laptop. But at the same time you get access to a truly amazing creative tool which will inevitably get even more powerful with the constant advances in AI technology. Be prepared for some mind blowing Drummer development around the corner. Cheers for your great feedback 😀
@@MTTC I think going into debt for things is mostly the American way these days. 🙄😂 But I love Logic and I’m just so used to it now. Are you going to be posting about new features to drummer?!?! 😃
@@uggles_mcfuggles I hear you. Us over here in the uk 🇬🇧 are following right behind you guys in terms of living off debt do I get it fully.
With regards to any new Drummer updates I will be posting and fully demonstrating as soon as they land 💯
@@MTTC ok. I’m subscribing right after I hit send on this text.
@@uggles_mcfuggles Awesome. Very much appreciated 😀
It would be cool if drummer was able to produce reggae beats. But I haven't seen any way to do that with drummer.
But drummer is great. By playing around with it a bit, it is possible to use in the studio and get a result that listeners wouldn't be able to distinguish from a real drummer.
Great point Tony. It is a shame that there is not a reggae drummer option on there. But I have spent time working with this tool and I have saved $$$$$ on not having to hire a drummer for a lot of productions where a live player would have otherwise been called. Cheers.😀
My Logic Pro drummer sounds atrocious and I can't figure out how to get the guy on beat.
😂 He’s like that sometimes 😂
I like all your other videos, but I don't understand your enthusiasm for the Logic Drummer. Yes, all the choices are great---- but why don't they have basic rhythms listed like blues, country, jazz, reggae, Latin, etc? The descriptions make no sense and are difficult to work with. What if I just want a country train beat, or a blues shuffle, or a jazz waltz, or a reggae rhythm? Or a Bo Diddley beat, or a pop ballad? I don't understand the "Logic" in not making these available.
You make an excellent point Joe about the limited range of genres covered by the Logic Drummer. I suppose it’s never really bothered me as the music I produce is very well catered for and therefore I’ve not noticed these limitations.
One alternative is to use the very extensive Loop Library which has a lot of drum loops for a much wider range of genres but it would be great if Logic had a broader range of styles. Thanks for your great observation. Cheers 🙂
