Drum Sequencer is a Player Rack Extension that can be added to any instrument device in Reason. With its set of powerful-yet-intuitive programming tools you’ll be knocking out drum beats faster than ever. With features such as repeats, probability and per-channel time resolution, the creative potential is endless! And the best of all - it adds fun to drum programming. Loads of fun!
The ability to set individual speed and step count for each channel means you can go for polyrhythmic mayhem or simply create patterns that don’t sound repetitive after one play through. Unless that’s what you are after of course. Why not try to use the Drum Sequencer Player as a step sequencer for synths?
Use Drum Sequencer the way that suits your creative flow best: to sequence all the drums for your project or as a blazingly fast starting point. If you wish you can dump your drum patterns to Reason’s main sequencer so you can finish your work there.

I record all my tutorials on reason, I’ve made hip-hop beats with it since 2007, I know it is just a pinned comment but it still feels really cool. I love what you all do!
The Billy Jean joke is priceless.

every time they put something out, you can see and hear their dedication to music - awesome!!!
I don't understand why some producers still thinking Reason is a sort of toy... you guys are breaking the concept of DAW as a record machine with some MIDI tools, you are beyond all of the others in many aspects, and this new player is something! Thanx!

Mano Bap I’ve heard 19-year old metal heads assert all synthesizers are toys. The fact is, “toy” defines not only all instruments but all sports equipment-if used recreationally. “Toy” is just a passive-aggressive euphemism used by someone who feels threatened by tools that achieve similar or novel results with less effort or a more ergonomic design.

Because the proppelerheads clearly don't understand the differenece between polyrytm and polymeter @ 06:20 is a prime example of that , they showcase polymeter and call it polyrytm , Epic Swedish facepalm

@@WARDISWARD As far as i know Polyrythm is just using 2 diferent division values together. And the showcase done here seems exactly that. The below part is divided in 4, the top part is not divided in 4 , that's polyrythm in theory
After a pause of 7 years, a week ago, I started seriously producing electronic music again. This tutorial helps me to get up to speed in Reason 10 quickly. a Great and inspiring tutorial! Thank you!
Reason is unbelievably amazing!!! I kept getting closer and closer to simulating real drums, you know what happened? A real drum set spontaneously materialized in my dining room and I started learning how to play them. Incredible. I love Reason!
You just blew my mind. Not only are your videos now top notch as far as production goes, the lessons and presentation, Reason's possibilities - everything! Thank you for your work on this, excellent 👍

So, SO grateful for all these tips; there is just too much stuff that Reason can do! Have watched this two or three times now and get new ideas from each viewing, so thank you!
Jesus dude... why would anyone else use any other DAW (other than already having bought into one). You guys are the greatest, constantly adding HUGE value! Before when Reason was just midi you needed a DAW but once audio recording and VSTs were added, game over... and now all these killer updates!
Wow this is gonna speed up my workflow 10x over... Great work

Exactly and you don't need a interface, especially if you're inside the box like me, this is dope-a-licious!
I'm new into this industry and I'm a quick learner I'm gaining a lot,,thank you for sharing such profound experiences
The visual feedback from the device is amazing (among everything else). Thanks for keeping it simple with 8 slots only, much better for workflow.
I like it. Step Sequencers are so much fun. The people who made this stuff probably think about dream recorders.
ahhhhh, when reason actually made nice tutorials.. doesn't even seem so long ago, i miss this guy
Thats the reason why i love Reason
Excellent concepts! As a professional Usability Engineer/User Experience Designer I must really say your user interfaces are just amazing and very well though out. Top notch.
By far, THE most effective improvement to Reason EVER! Immediately makes creation and ideation 10X smoother. Thank you Thank you Thank you
You were losing me until you got to the probability function. And then the repeats! Speeds up my "Trap" workflow tremendously. Then the pattern sequencing, DAMN THIS IS GOOD! I'm sold. Good fucking job Propellerhead. Keep up the great work!
You guys did an amazing job! I just bought Reason, came from Reason 5, and this new tool is very helpful. Thanks a lot!!
Seriously amazing, thanks for increased workflow options!

Are you kidding? You need to watch the video, not once did the guy use a drum machine with pads. when he laid the first four to floor step it was done with ease, what are you talking about?That's a helleva work flow.
Thanks for adding the Drum Sequencer to Reason 10!! Just got mine and I LOVE IT! This is why I'm a Reason user -- because Propellerhead loves us :D
Oh wow, this is super cool. Was skeptical at first, until you started in on the polyrhythmic stuff, and basically everything after that... *mind blown*!
Absolutely Brilliant. I just caught drum sequencer for free with the Reason 10 upgrade and whoa, this is truly awesome. Also, great GREAT tutorial. Keep up the Great work Propellerhead! You are appreciated!!!
this is a great addition, loving every single feature of this player, thank you guys.
I love how you kept the last minute to blow our minds 😂😂😂

Awesome idea for a player and as usual, thanks for the amazing tutorial/demo
I definitely must watch more videos like this, it makes so much fun to discovering this small steps, that make giant leaps in the production phases.
The people at propellerhead are something else!! Im blown away 🤯🤯🤯🤯 thank you guys!!
So much WOW! What a freaking nice player device! Thanks a lot for that! I hope that we will recive some more cool updates like this for reason 10 before reason 11 is coming out.

I did not expect so much from a little unit like the Drum Sequencer. I can't wait to use it!
Since it's free, I think it should be included by default in Reason. Amazing extension especially at the end
First time I'm actually considering upgrading from 7 to 10. This is awesome.
Waw, didn't realize I had all this power in my hands. Thank you.
Finally something!!! I've been waiting for something like this in Reason. Thx!!!
Marvelous tool. This is such a nice sequencer for brainstorming new ideas as any beat is the backbone of music productions. Hope to see this included with a perpetual software license Reason 12 update! 🙂👍🏻
Amazing video. Not only a great showcase for the software, but highly educational for musicians in general.
I love that it's so easy and straightforward! This is really great!
The comic relief at 11:32 was everything. This fella's presentation style is the best. ...and I'm suddenly starting to feel a sick day coming on ;)
This is really going to transform the way I'm able to program drums..This is a quantum leap in drum programming for me
Thank you so much for including proper pattern support in the sequencer
Love this! Thanks so much Propellerhead! You make the best music software there is!
Amazing and unbelievably useful addition to Reason rack! Thank you!
This is fantastic and really adds expression! It's definitely a game changer. Thanks a bunch!
This is increduble! Thanks Propellerheads! So looking forward to using this!
This looks like something I've wanted for years. Drums are often neglected in sequencing and it can make something that should be enjoyable into a chore.
freakin' awesome! thanks for blowing my mind every time you launch an actualization! greetings from Chile ;)
I'm blown away by the instructors music and sequencer
Great demo/tutorial! So very useful to see how this stuff is used!
Never been so compelled to write country music 🤠 Time to get back into Reason! Thanks for this 👍
Thank You Propellerheads! I was waiting for this for years! Finally i don't have to use the old Redrum no more for fast Beat making! Chears Propellerheads!
We’re all the up! This is great addition to rack family.
Just linked my Moog Minitaur into this. It's so sick! Thank you, Propellerhead!

Well, I was gonna buy Volca Kick, but you guys made this. Bass beats on a Moog sound DIRTY! Add a Polivoks and it farts like a Soviet tractor with a bad gasket. Let me warn you, I play Death Industrial/ Power Electronics, so it might not be to your taste, but the possibilities here are endless. This sequencer could change the worlds of Trap and Witch House or any other genre out there. Just use your imagination. Still learning this. Good times. Many thanks.

Much creative potential in this sequencer!
I have been looking for something like this ( a mini Redrum Seq), to be honest this is way better than what I imagined. it also solve other issues (note repeat, groove etc) in one place. Ngiyabonga!
So cool, can't wait to get home from work and give this a go! Thanks Propellerhead!
Yeah that was a pretty amazing video... I was using the drum sequencer today and had no idea it could do all that!
Great stuff! I use FL mobile on my tablet and now I am happy I can work in a similar way in Reason too.
Holy moly! I need this one! Thanks a ton for this video!
I'm so glad I switched to Reason!
BRAVO guys! This speaks to me!! THANK YOU!!
This workflow is crazy good!
Oh my, the possibilities...... again!!! Yes!
fantastic HMI, great video... finally what non drum maker and non drummer wanted
I am a Cubase user, I'm definitely switching to Reason just for this new features. Thanks Propellerhead

Don't own reason but I always liked how everything is nicely laid out and plenty of nice features for creativity are crammed into very little.
Mind blown... I know what I’m doing this weekend 🔥👍🏽
was wondering about sliding a note in increments, good to see it was included
Wow. Very informational buddy! Thank you!
amazing, you guys make the best tutorials
Finally got around to watching this video. My mind is blown so hard.
Thank you for posting this!
Reason is simply a BEAST!Thx
You guys are incredible !!!
He’s back
Wow! Wish I saw this video before I bought my current DAW. Anyways. It's the creative idea and understanding how they work is the most important thing. The video was amazing. Thanks!
Mind.... blown. I have so much to learn...
It's pure workflow....Great
I won't be able to upgrade (the price is a little too steep for me, and with the recent synth rig crossgrade...), but you have given me a whole new reason to ditch redrum and work a rhythm directly into the sequencer. Just been meddling inside the sequencer after watching this video, and it is so much more more liberating than using Redrum. Thanks for the video. Thanks for device, even if indirectly so, because it just taught me to have fun in a completely different way!
wow, this is huge, good job propellerhead !
Always great videos and that guys voice makes for a really recognizable PH video:)
This is exactly what I needed to start the weekend. Gonna lock the door now.
Very good useful update, thanks! 💪🏻👍🏻
This program just keeps getting better
damn props have done it again this player is like so complex and fun I need some time off man!! thanks!!!!
I can't wait to get my reason 10 intro and someday upgrade to the full version.
fantastic, looking forward to trying it out!
Drum Sequencer + Kong covers almost all the bases that Breaktweaker does, minus wav generation (which can be set up through samples), or shaping the curve of the repeats, or mixing two sounds for one pad as well. Otherwise, pretty awesome, and easier to use. Great job.
This is amazing thanks ❤️
Awesome!.. thank you so much Propellerhead!
Thanks a lot Propellerhead, needed this!
Simply amazing. 🌟👏👏👏
