Tutorial 1
This tutorial will be based on your standard setup.
to start its allways good to have a beggining setup now i major in dance type music so i work with a standard setup of something along the lines of
a simple kick drum a group of two and a clap
the best way to set this up is as follows
Kick
k will represent the kick
H1(hat1)
h will represent hat 1
H2(hat2)
t will represent hat 2
clap
c will represent clap

the second hat is playd with the kick -h-h-h-h-h-h-h
t--t--t--t--t--t--t--t

and the 1st hat is played between the kick and second hat.
the clap is played on every second kick for now
