Default How to make a quick breakdown beat

Im trying to use redrum to get a VERY fast drum roll/breakdown for techno type music, i got a beat going and then i tried to crank the time to 32 notes and for some reason the timing just doesnt seem to transition in correct time to the 32 notes (16 notes on the beat). Whats a trick to do this, or set timing for redrum

I tried to make a realistic sounding drum roll using Redrum. Course I'm not sure what type of drum roll you're after. I'm thinking a fast roll maybe like a snare drum marching roll??? I could not get a realistic fast sounding roll. It sounded more like a cinnamon roll being ground up by an outboard motor. Your best bet would be to find a drum roll in Reason. Or find a sample drum roll like a wav file and use that with Redrum.

what do you mean by using redrum with a drum roll wav file. I didnt know that redrum could use wav files. So basically i would be triggering a drum roll by hitting a midi key once?

Yes, exactly. Hit it once and produce a drum roll. There are many snare rolls in Reason. But I can't remember if they are rolls that came with Reason or if they are in the refill package.

You can load wav files in Redrum. Just open up a lane, then instead of selecting a Reason patch, open a wav file. Now of course the wav file must be ready to go. By that, I mean no long pause at the beginning. I have several drum wav files that I use in Redrum. Hope this helps.
