Does anybody have any techniques they could share on transcribing drum patterns away from the mpc?
I find myself in class or on the bus often wanting to write down a pattern thats in my head.
at the moment i just use symbols or letters for different drum hits along a singular line. i divide the line into sections depending on how many bars.
ex.
k-Xk--X-k-Xk--X
thats a really bad example but you get the idea
Any drummers who know actual methods of transcription or any other methods that work well with programming drums, please share...

Learning how to read music is a tried and true way.  It's the best in my opinion, because then you can communicate your ideas to lots of other musicians who read music.[/color]
