HELP HOW THE FK DO U GUYS DO IT! CREATING DRUM PATTERNS

FOR THE LIFE OF ME.. I CANNOT FREAKIN GET MORE THEN A SIMPLE DRUM PATTERN GOING ON THIS CRAP .. I CAN DO A SNARE/CLAP ON BAR 2 AND 4.. HOWEVER I WANNA DO A CRAZY DRUM PATTERN WELL NOT EVEN CRAZY LOL JUST

BOOM BOOM/CLAP BOOM---- BOOOM CLAP AND THATS FKN IT!!

HOW DO I QUANTIZE IT?? I CANT PUT IT ON 1/16 CUZ THE SHIT SOUNDS RETARDED, I CANT PUT IT ON 1/32 CUZ THE SAME SHIT WTF HOW DO I GET IT ON BEAT SO IT CAN START ALL OVER AGAIN.. WHY IS BEAT MAKING ON AN MPC MORE CHALLENGING THEN USING SOFTWARE? SO TO ANSWER MY QUESTION HOW DO U GUYS DO IT ??? plz i wann aknow, so close to selling my 4k dude

DONT SELL IT!!!!...

it takes practice fam .. and im not tryin to be funny .. but you gotta play with it ..
just give it some time ... the MPC series machines take time to learn and master.

and as far as crazy drums .. practice,practice,practice .. you WILL get better
just dont give up and keep a positive attitude .. work on your listening skills ..
sometimes we hear what we wanna hear .. and not what we need to be listening to
in the music ..

in short .. practice .. perfect your listening skills .. and youll advance ..
no one got in the game straight bangin,regardless what they tell you ..
except me lol J/K

dawg when i got the mpc i thought the same thing, the exact same thing was happenin to me. just make sure you play things on time. when i first started, when i played it it would sound in time but when i went back to listen it was off. also if that dont work make sure you hit open window on time correct and turn the swing down to 50 and make sure its not sifted earlier or later at all.

see sinister i wanna do a simple drum pattern just like "HANDS IN THE AIR"" is that quantized???

im tryin to but its frustrating as hell u have this dope drum pattern in ur head to u it sounds hot, but when u go back it doesnt play on time .. shits frustratin

i turn TC off
and it plays back the same way i did it in the first place
but u need to have good timing otherwise it'll still sound like crizap

thats a damn shame right there.....a 4k goin to waste right now !

The only thing I hear that's missing is your hi hat. If you have the rest of the drums playing in straight 1/16, throw a simple hi hat on every other beat using 1/16 triplets.

no i just played that .. i dont quantize .. i just lpay it til its like i want .. sometimes it takes a few tries

dawg i doubt its the quantize thing. ur probly just playin it off, u could easily create sinister keys hands in the air joint with quantize on, i mean obviously you wont get the same exact pattern becuz his was dont with no quantize but his joint sounds right on time so the quantize would make that exact pattern (minus his human drumming which may be off time by 1 or 2 clicks but not noticable to the average person)
