e-journalWant to capture their drum programming on step grid tablatureWant to easily capture a songwriting session with othersWant their drum programming sound/setup notes adjacent the step tablature gridsWant to quickly document rhythms entered onto the tiny display (LCD) of a vintage drum
machineWant to use simple online apps or non-MIDI tools for songwriting and drum
programmingDon't want to use a MIDI piano roll editorDon't want to tackle the learning curve of a state-of-the-art DAW or the numerous

Throughout the workbook you'll also find assorted drum machine art. So scribble on the pictures if you like
when you get writer's-block !The latter half of the workbook is parsed into sections for all major song parts :
VerseChorusPre-ChorusBridgeBreakIntroEnd/Finale
Each section offers blank music staffing (staves), guitar tablature, and step grid
tablature for drum programming. 4/4 time drum step grids feature 12, 16, 32, and 48 steps per measure. Note that grid multiples of 12 (e.g. 12, 24, 48, etc.) are required for so-called triplets.
If you need faster drumming, the step quantity per measure (i.e. quantization) can be
multiplied by 2 by double-marking the step grids. In other words, you might double-scribe a 48 step
grid for a supersonic 1/96th note hi-hat rhythm in a Trap or Electronic Pop song.
For additional drum programming insights, see RFB's other books at Amazon : "Supersonic Hi-hat Rhythms and Tuplets" and “DRUM PROGRAMMING : A Complete Guide To Program And Think Like A
Drummer”. For over 30 years, the core teachings in the latter book have helped novice electronic musicians learn to
program more realistic sounding drums. A new and improved 2nd edition is now
available at Amazon in reflowable eBook format. If you are a Kindle Unlimited member it is FREE !
And for advanced step programming, ADDENDUM 1 offers simplifying insights into Blues
Shuffles, Reggae, and Fast Punk.
