"In this clip I'm going to give you a basic tutorial of the logic drum machine. This here is logic drum machine, the way it, the basic look of it, the first screen you're going to get when you open it. Now to change the sounds, here's your individual sounds which correlate to different keys on the keyboard. To change the sounds underneath the bypass button, you'll pull down the arrow, which will bring your factory sets of drums, your factory banks of sounds and you know, anything you have that you may have custom uploaded as a sound. So just to be basic I'm going to go with the funk kick and it'll load all my sounds over here. You'll see the names of the sounds will change a little bit, however there's always going to be names you know, the drum sounds, kicks, snares, and you know, etc., etc. and you can hear the sound just by clicking on the actual note. Down at the bottom we have a sequencer that you can specifically draw in based on whatever note you're clicked on and it will play that back when you hit this play button. Now this has other things already in it that have been sequenced from a pre-set sequence and that's the basics of the drum machine."
