The hardest part of drum replacement is telling the drummer that you've replaced basically everything but the overheads.

Or, or, you could tell him he is a fantastic drummer! Listen to the uniformity of the hits throughout the song!

Quick tip for anyone who may be using a single drum track: You can isolate the kick (and probably the snare) by throwing an EQ on your track, low passing hard to around 80hz, and then "freezing" the track. Now all of the transients should be way more clear and you can proceed to paste samples where needed as shown above. When you're done, just unfreeze the track and it will show the transients normally.

Very nice tutorial! One important detail though might be worth mentioning. If you are in Pro Tools when you first insert the blank sample track make sure it is specifically above the original instrument track and not below it. If it is below it the new samples will paste over the original track, instead of pasting into the separate sample track. At least this is how I found it worked in PT 10.

Nice one. Gonna give this a go cos couldn’t understand why it was pasting over and cutting the original track.

Thank you so much for this. This helped improve my drum tracks so much. I had this kick that needed a lot of help and now It sounds great! Keep it up

Great workaround! I use it all the time since I saw this video, and I find it very useful even though there are nowadays a lot of plugins that work well as drum replacement tools. This one trick though is top notch because it gives you surgical control on what you're doing. Many thanks

I was looking THIS solution for about an hour! Thanks!

@sejuyz There are some manual things you can do like adjusting the gain of the individual hits. But honestly if you have some complex stuff to do you can get a trigger plugin to do it for you.

@sk8monster112 Studio One seems to come with a bunch of drum samples (Impact, EZ Drummer Lite, etc). As far as getting the drums to sound "real", that's more a matter of tasteful drum patterns and sound selection for your song. You can then also use plugins to mix the drums to taste like you would real drums.

i needed this real quick thank you :)

@LukeSock SoundReplacer, Drumagog. Those are two popular ones.

thank you for the tutorial, it was very nicely explained. i have a few questions though... what if you´re trying to replace a complex fill ? lets say a 6 stroke roll, played with ghost notes and accents ?

very cool and helpful. I'll give it a shot. Is there an easy way to get the sample to be from a MIDI source? That way I could listen to the drum track while selecting different drum sounds, say in ProTools Excite sample player or similar.

Nice one! Thanks for the help!

P.S. pro tools looks pretty good, i think i might just buy it & btw..MOST good sounds in studio tracks are created by layering (plus EQing) instruments, i dont know why this comes as something new or a surprise to traditional jam musicians

Yeah, in pro tools 8, the sample track needs to be above not below. Otherwise it won't work. Very cool trick!! Thx

I mostly use drum sampling now because I can never get a good kick sound to cut in the mix. Most of the time I raise up the mids to get that snap but I still don’t like it.

Cool needed this thanks Graham. Electronic snares don't totally suck they need help though.

Good stuff again from you Graham! ty.

use a midi track and copy and paste a midi note instead of an audio region, then open up a sampler and you will be able to try different samples

what about keeping things in phase? esp if you're using a multitracked sample from the session

Is there a method in protools to convert audio to midi? Without outside plugins

Hi, great video, I tried this,but when I paste the sample it goes to the main track, Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

@brandobean Look into Massey's DRT plugin. It is free and will help you do this.

Pretty cool I did this trick just today on a snare!

you're a life saver!

Hey I just saw the comment below saying when in Pro Tools to put the replacement track above the original before pasting. Maybe you should mention that.

Hey Graham after following your instructions pasting the drum sample always ends up on the original track. It wont paste on the replacement track.

Do you have any sound replacement plug-ins that you might recommend?

All right, whatever. I spent two days with Masserati, 3 with SPL DrumXChanger. I'm about to just try this and hope for the best. Cheers fellas

I want to use a hit in my original track, but instead of pasting on the blank track it pastes it on the track where I copied from

Kenny Gioa method. Works well, but no dynamics. Better to export as a MIDI track with Massey or Melodyne and trigger a VI drum sample.

Anyway to midi map a very basic drum track that is not multi track. I just want to make midi of the kick and snare. The Snare waveform is very pronounced and sound double can easily match that and make a midi track, Kick is strong as well but lower than the snare so it will not make a midi of that unless you go in and erase all the places it uses the snare hit as a trigger as well as the kick. You cannot set a velocity range for it to use as trigger, it only has the function of either lowering the velocity or making it greater to use as the midi trigger. Any info appreciated. I am using Logic Pro X in High Sierra

Hi a year later lol. So one thing you can do is just slap any old EQ on the track, put a low pass all the way to like 80hz with a hard cutoff, and that should pronounce the transients of the kick more clearly- at least enough to be recognized by either logic or a trigger plugin. I'm using Pro Tools like Graham and they have a nice feature where you can freeze the track with an EQ on it. That way I can paste all of the kicks I need without having to duplicate the track.

Great vid thank you!

is there an open source software that will povide me with a tool similar to this tab to transient one?? ... I have no moeny to get a copy of pro tools :S ... any help would be greatly appreciated

Great vid Huge help thanks man

if you are on a snare track, you open drumagog as a plug in, select the snare you like, then slide the blend bar, and set the gate.

Np, I'm doing two songs' drumsets now. I appreciate these tutorials. Drumsets are the hardest part for me.

Doesn't work.. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Edit: I should have known... Because he says it all the time. Keyboard shortcut focus before you start this process.

why even 'group' the two tracks..why not just copy, paste, and move the green drum (or draw, dunno if PT works anything close to acid) wherever you want on the timeline? kind of seems like extra work to me. btw, i bet diehard rock purists & hippie wannabees are gonna think that adding samples is cheating, & that now it's like "techno" and "made by a machine" LOL

Human drummers = Glorious Master Race Sample replacement drums = worthy of being destroyed!

SOS its coping the sample over top of the original clip!!!!

sorry don’t wanna sound like a prick are you level matching tho?
