\'Drum Programming Secrets\' starts at the very beginning, showing how the different articulations used by different drums and cymbals translate into commands and sound types on a keyboard.

Moving on through drum mapping where presenter Dave Polich (Yamaha, Native Instruments, Korg programmer) offers a series of live demos where different styles of rock, pop, funk, dance, and world rhythms are shown being created, the dvd provides clear and concise information on this hitherto \'dark art.\'

Watch a scene from the \'Drum Programming Secrets\' dvd where Dave Polich shows you how to play convincing drum beats on your keyboard, emulating the great Keith Moon:

Applicable to any sound source or any computer/DAW platform, the dvd concludes with a full examination of the editing process, from how to make \'quick beats\' to quantizing, and finally to full note and dynamics editing.

Featuring professionals including drummer and hip hop producer Raymond Jones, drummer and Nobody’s Own producer David Bortnick, Ex\'Pression College\'s Josh Hinden and live looping guru Rick Walker among others, \'Drum Programming Secrets\' is a blend of practical guides, insider tricks, and high level approaches to this ever-challenging subject.
