1. Dr. Drum’s 12 Pad Drum Machine
One of the most impressive features on the new beat-making program
Dr. Drum is the 12-pad drum machine, and understanding how it works
can help you create your ideal drum beat.
Dr. Drum features a 16 track sequencer, which can be used with the
extensive library of sounds included with the program. If the in-built
beats just aren’t right for your track, you can make your own custom
ones with the drum machine.
The drum machine has 12 pads for you to create beats with. Each drum
kit you select loads a new 12 sounds onto the pads, and you can adjust
the volume for each independently. The program comes with myriad
drum kits to choose from, in styles such as hip hop, house, dubstep and
jungle, with several options for each.

These can be accessed through the menu stretching down the left hand
side of the page. You can easily load up your own sounds to use if the
included kits aren’t enough, with a simple drag and drop interface.
Creating your own beats with the drum machine is simple. The
majority of the page is taken up by a grid, with rows for each of the 12
pads and columns showing the progression of time. Each column
represents a sixteenth of a bar, and the beats and off beats are labelled
with numbers and dots, respectively.
This means that you can create complex drum beats with up to sixteen
hits per bar (which is great for fills) using an intuitive system. To put a
beat down, you select the pad you want and place a mark in the relevant
row at the desired point within the bar.

2. You can adjust the tempo easily using the BPM option in the bottom
left corner of the screen, and there is a mixer so you can bring out
whichever frequencies you want. This allows you to accentuate the
highs, lows or mids in your beat, and balance them to your liking.
There’s also a pitch slider you can use to make more radical alterations
to the sound. As with everything on Dr. Drum, you can export the file
as a professional-quality .WAV file, rather than a compressed and
therefore degraded MP3.
The drum machine on Dr. Drum allows ultimate creativity. You can
make an off-kilter beat in jazz timing or a thumping dubstep backing,
all with one tool. Once you’ve made your beat, you incorporate it into
tracks using the intuitive sequencer.

creativity.
