dangreenday Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hey Guys, As a beginner to Logic Pro i'm trying to learn each Instruments Tips n Tricks separate - Now Ive been watching a Ton of Videos which are Great at other stuff but I've not seen one that gives me a step by step tutorial on creating a drum roll.. Seems like this should be something kinda straight forward. Any help is appreciated Thanks Guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jangus Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I found myself searching for a drum roll too. I tried it with midi in the piano roll using 64th notes, but always ended up with the machine gun effect. I finally discovered that there is a good likeness using one of Logics’ own patches. It’s in Orchestral/Percussion/Orchestral Kit and its’ on note A0 . Check it out !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRobinson Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) Yeah, drums are one place where you can really detect that "samples are discrete sounds." In creating drum samples, I think that a real drummer performs the complete roll to create a single sound (note ...) consisting of the entire roll. I am also given to understand that you can purchase drum sound libraries which contain a variety of different rolls, paradiddles and so-forth, performed on actual kit, and all assigned to different notes (and not consistent with any GM specs).

dangreenday Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Oooh thanks for the Help i shall check That out, Upon asking other people they have all said they find it best to just make your own in Piano roll, Which is what I've done, i would have thought that there would have been a Key on a Midi Keyboard that you could hold down for a Drum Roll - Guess Not .. Thanks a lot for your reply tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRobinson Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Your ability to produce a convincing roll that way will depend entirely, I think, on the "kit." On exactly how that drum sound is constructed; how the sounds are, so to speak, "shaped." And, yeah, on exactly how much of your time you wish to spend on it. It's way-too-easy to come up with a machine gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangreenday Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Yeah my 1st few attempts were the dreaded 'Machine Gun' Sound - I've got a pretty decent sound from playing around for a while now so i will continue that way, im just shocked there isn't many help video tutorials for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denitronik Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I think one of the reason you get a machine gun sound is a question of note velocity and sound. A real drummer will never play each note of a roll with the same velocity and will hit exactly the same spot on the head. So you could try to randomize the note velocities of the roll and you could also use two different snare sounds (on two different keys and randomly use either one of them in your roll. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
