I'm just wondering what approach you guys take when programming drums. I'm not a drummer, so all of my knowledge comes from listening to music and paying attention to what real drummers do.
Normally, I record my guitar/bass tracks to a click. Then I open up Nuendo's drum editor and go to town. I usually start by replacing the click track with a hi-hat or ride. Then I come up with a basic beat using the bass drum and snare.
I'm really ignorant when it comes to drum fills, the use of crashes, and just spicing up drum beats in general. As a result, my programming tends to sound pretty dull and monotonous.
So anyways, what's your insight on programming?
