R ur drums single drum hits or a whole break?
If single hits, then use step edit to move the drums back/forth via ticks.
If a drum break, you might need to chop, pitch, tune, and step edit (it's a balancing act) to get it right).

don`t think, you`ll be able to learn all this in a hour, it`ll take it`s time. and one video isn`t enough to cover this sophisticated issue.
read the manual and check, what your machine can do. ideas how to use the features come soon...

did you need a video to learn to drive your lexus?

practice a bit... put in your time. read the manual and sit down in front of your MPC before jumping on the internet to ask basic questions. it really ain't that hard, man.

I also don't think control change and pitch bends are what your looking for. That's a whole other piece of cake you have yet to bite into.

Videos and tutorials show you some stuff yes but there are many many things you just HAVE to experience in order to get it right "to your ears", you MUST practice this balancing act.
