Beginner Video - MPC Live II (especially for drums)

Greetings:
Just got my MPC LIve II and it sounds great. Since I am a beginner, anyone have a video, perhaps on youtube that they recommend to start out with - especially for drum patterns?

Are the original MPC Live videos, good enough for starting with the Live II?

I have searched for some, but so far nothing ideal. Thank you!

Traptendo is pretty dope imho. Very insightful, even for some one like me who has had mpcs for years.

Thank you. I managed to find some good ones for what I need. I love the drum sounds it comes with and I am excited to add my own samples.

First of all, watch the entire MPC Beats Academy series of videos on the MPC Live 2 here:

Then follow that up with the MPC One 2.8 firmware release video, as this applies to the MPC Live 2 as well (with the obvious differences in button workflow):

Finally, for a fun little exercise, follow along with your Live 2 by watching the original launch series of videos for the MPC One from earlier this year, and make the demo song while following along, as it's a great exercise for those new to the world of these new generation MPC's to learn how to build a track starting from scratch:

That's more than enough to get you started and well versed without spending a dime!

That was some positive help!
