When it comes to drum programming, I always sequence my drum beats in real-time, using a MIDI controller, such as my keyboard or drum pads. But, I understand that not everybody feels confident enough to knock out their beats in this manner. And, if you don\u2019t feel confident about playing a drum beat, it makes perfect sense to gravitate towards a drum pattern sequencer (such as the one found on Redrum). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feeling out drum beats using step keys, as the pattern loops over and over, is a great way to get your feet wet. Plus, there\u2019s definitely something positive to be said about the pattern sequencer \u201cfeel\u201d and what it can add to dance, hip-hop, and other styles of electronic influenced music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
