Hi Austin, you have no idea this video that you made 8 years ago has helped me tremendously today in 2023! Thank you so much!

This is such a fantastic video Austin, thanks so much for posting it! You're an absolute champion! I really appreciate the effort you've gone to

Remarkable once again... Been watching your channel for the past 2 days and can't get enough of it. Thanks once again for all the effort you put into that.

Just want to thank you for some awesome video work! Your tutorials are always clear and concise! Thanks for taking the time it takes to put these things together! Your work is appreciated!

Great job! I have the Samuel Morse document, and I understood the principles, but your video makes the whole process much easier to understand. You also covered several issues that weren't in Morse's document, and they too were very helpful. Way to go!

Thank you soooo much Austin! This video makes everything super easy to me to notate all my exercices, my students homeworks, compositions, in the end, another great great tutorial Austin. Keep it up in that way!

Thank you Austin I've been struggling with this setup for ages, to the point of giving up and considering an inferior scoring program. This tutorial is clear and to the point. Awesome work.

you are literally a life saver, ive been wanting to score drums in logic for ages now

Thank you for producing this concise and easy to follow video. This is a concept that is long overdue for me to learn.

You have to enable the audio editing settings in Preferances/ 'Advanced Tools" for the 'reassign track' option to become available. Anyway, thanks so much for making this video OP, this saved me hours today!!

Needed to create drum sheet music for a recent project and had no idea how to go about it even though I have used logic everyday for the past 7 years. This video proves you can always learn something new everyday!

Amazing, man! This is SUPER helpful. Really appreciate all the effort you put into this!

Hectic! I'm really glad I found your channel. Thanks for sharing the guide. It was awesome to follow along too! You're totally a role model!

Indeed, awesome video and pdf. Really appreciate the effort put into this. Thanks!

Thx for all your work ! Your help with logic for drummers is great!

Dear Austin Burcham. Thank you SO much for making this video. You just saved me many, many, many, many hours of annoyance and headache.

WOW. This was brilliant, THANK YOU and THANK YOU to the original pdf guy. I am playing - for the first time in 45 years - with a drummer who reads, THIS will be our Rosetta Stone - we have a way forward. OUTSTANDING. 🤩

This is awesome man been wondering about this in Logic for awhile. Thanks!

Thanks so much for this clip which has finally made me map my own Drum Score the way I need it to look like. Thanks again and have a wonderful 2021!

Thanks Austin! Priceless... Just to add that you can do some of the assignments if you got to Layout > Show Staff Styles and on the far right you can hit the plus sign to add components; you can position them correctly just below that plus sign

Thanks so much for providing that PDF! It was very easy to follow. You're the real MVP!

This video is GOLDEN. Thanks for putting it out there!

Man...thanks so much...I would have not have been able to figure this out! Love the videos, keep 'em coming

Incredibly helpful. Thank you, Austin.

Awesome, awesome video - this will help so much with the lessons I'm giving. Thanks man!

Thank you Austin for such a clear demonstration. I've tried to use other music notation software, such as Finale, without success. For the most part, Logic X has retained most of the same functionality as 9, which I use. Now if I can notate a score triggering the V-Drums, that will just fabulous.

Brilliantly clear and helpful demo. I recommend the pdf. Incidentally I have just finished an orchestral piece using Logic and started to convert it to Sibelius for printing, but am starting to find Logic score is better!

GREAT TUTORIAL !!! Thanks so much for sharing !!! So many of us obviously really appreciate it !!! : )

A friend and I have been writing a score to accompany a stage production. He knows all about scoring the things you blow and the things you bow, but neither of us had any idea about the things you hit; no idea how to turn the piano roll drums into something a drummer could play. This video has demystified that process and has enabled me to get it done. Thanks for making such a clear tutorial. i am now going to investigate copying a mapped instrument between projects to save time.

Awesome video Thks Austin. Brilliant tutorial. Learned a great deal.

Very useful, I've just avoided drum notation in Logic for a long time, but this makes me want to jump back in.

I can now play my Roland Drumkit and it notates it for me. Thank you buddy! This was extremely helpful

Wow. This video is brilliant. Thank you, Austin!

Getting a mac next week and getting logic on it too. This is really helpful as I will be transcribing drums in the future - thanks a lot.

Thanks, Austin! This is super helpful and there's no way I would be able to figure that out by myself.

Thank you! Really clean and informative guide!

Thanks for the effort mate. Our music academy uses Logic Pro x and this just saves us so much time!!

Amazing tutorial, thank you Austin!

thank you ! Just what I was looking for, nicely explained. U rule!

Thanks Austin for this!!! You're the man!!!

This would have taken me forever to figure out on my own. Thank you for the tutorial bro!

Great tutorial! Thanx so much Austin 🙏

Thanks for this! I had no issues using your information with Logic 10.5.1.

I'm 6 years late to this video but it's still relevant. Man thanks for sharing this, this is about to change my entire life.

thankyou so much! this bugged me for ages - would have been really useful during dissertation time! haha thanks a bunch

Great tutorial. Useful video. Thank you so much. 😀

Awesome man... very helpful!... Cheers from Aruba!

Thanks a lot Austin. This video saved my day!!!

Excellent tutorial.

Great video, you helped me a lot!

Thanks for posting. Very useful.

Thanks so much for this! Great tutorial.

Thanks for the great video. Man, that’s complicated, but it looks great.

thank you so much, still very useful in 2022!

Fantastic stuff!!! Good job!

Wonderful contribution. Thank you!

Thank you for this, just saved my (academic) life. Need to get a lot of drum notation done for a paper due on monday and was freaking out over all the unnecessary rests and overall weird notation that Logic puts out by default.

Fantastic tutorial!

Thank you so much, love your chanel 👍🏼

Excellent video. Thank you

You're a lifesaver, thanks a bunch, man.

Austin ,... thank you so much for this... Do you mind doing another video showing how you program the notes (the part you skipped in this video).. Thanks!

Thanks...Great video and very helpful.

Thank you so much ! Greetings from France :)

This was a life saver. THANK YOU!

Great instructions....thanks!

Great tutorial. Thanks!

Amazing Video! Thank you

thank you! very helpful!

Excellent! Thanks!

Great video. Thanks a bunch!

Hi Austin, I just followed your instructions and everything works as it should. Can you please explain how do you change 2nd snare into ghost note sound? That would be very helpful.Thanks!

Au...stin is awe...some (rhymes if you say it in a whiny tone). Thanks for the incredibly helpful break-downs.........much appreciated. Aside from the fact you are an superb drummer, you seem like a really cool dude! Thanks again!

Thank you very much Austin!

Love the video!!! When you started the fast forward how did you change the piano roll view to only show the notes that you edited?Cheers!

This is really helpful, even that the video is from 2015 all the option are almost the same, Thanks and i just sucribe to your channel. greetings from Colombia

Such helpfull video!!! Thx

+Bennett Huffman Yea I forgot to go over that in the video but all you do is go to File->Save as Template once you have the project setup like you want. Name it something like "Drum Notation" and it will go into your "My Templates" folder. Next time you want to start a new notation project, just go to your templates and select the "Drum Notation" one and you are good to go.

Thanks Austin for this tutorial ! Very clear and helpful. I have two questions : - Can you save the Drum MIDI map we created to use it in another Logic Project ? - Is it necessary to keep the playback track after your score is written ?

Great tutorial! I would like to input my midi notes for drums via guitar (midi pickup) but since the lowest note is E1 and not C1, is there a way I could map the kick drum and still have it show correctly on the staff? Thanks

NEPSOUND hmmm... If you follow the steps exactly like I show in the video, it should give you that option to reassign the track. I would start from scratch and try everything again. Maybe you don't have secondary click setup on your Mac? You can try control+clicking the track to see if that brings it up...

Awesome video and really helpful! Do you happen to know how this guideline works when you are programming drums in another drum VST, like GGD? That one doesn't rely on GM mappings per se, so it would be really helpful if I could figure out how to get that going. Cheers!

Austin great job!! How do transcribe groupings of 5 & 7?

Really helpful!

How did you program the triplets and the shuffle feel? Great video. So, so helpful!! Thank you

Really a great great job!!!!!!

Perfect! Thanks so much man. I was always muddling along and used to work with Guitar Pro, to get all my notations done. This is also a great way to transcribe the stuff you've programmed already anyways. For changing the speed of the videos you use: Have you tried just importing the videos into Logic and then using the Flex tool to adjust the general tempo of the audio track? I think this would also make it easier for you to transcribe the drum tracks directly in Logic while listening to them. Let me know and thanks for your help! Paule

Thank you so much !

Great tutorial. I'd wrestled with drum mapping and display with Logic in the pre-X days (I've used it since it was Notator on the Atari) but hadn't bothered with establishing a PAS compliant drum setup... so it's been a while since I've had to mess with all the ridiculous sub windows to get it together. One thing, though. How do you import ALL THAT WORK into an existing Logic project? There're TWO elements that would be needed to be imported to an existing project: The drum-mapped instrument (copy-paste? Then patch it to the Bluebird kit one would add in the existing project?) and the staff style (I can't see how to do that). It could be a problem. Meanwhile, I'll open up my new drum stave template (as you showed), drop a 2-mix from my main project in, then copy-paste the tempo list and events from the "signature" event list from the existing project into the drum template project so that THAT project will have the same structure and tempo. ALSO, going forward, I probably use Bluebird as my "temp drum sound" in my projects so a copy-paste into the blank drum template project will save a lot of steps building the VISUAL part up from scratch. All in all, it's a pretty kludgy way to do it. That's not your fault; that's Logic's fault.

Thank you so much for this! Saved my skin on one of my freelance jobs

Thank you very much! It's weird Logic Does not have the chance to set all of this by default. You saved me!

AWESOME!! MANY THANKS!!

thanks very for sharing this is really cool

Thank you so much dude! That's a very usefull tutorial. I'm gonna try this tonight :) Why do you have to create 2 tracks, can't you just do this with one track ?

Austin - this is an awesome tutorial! Had a look at the PDF and can't see any mention of adding sticking - how do you do that if you so choose?

Amazing! Cheers!

Hello all. My results in using this video is a success. I like to use third party plug ins- It's not necessary, but its my preference. If you're using a third party drum library like GGD, like I am. Follow the same exact steps Austin has mentioned---but patch the "mapped instrument" in the MIDI Environment to (in my case) GGD, to the GGD CHANNEL, then patch that to the playback channel. Hope this helps! ✌

Thank you so much.

Austin, can you make a video that shows how to convert Grand Staff to (only the) Treble Clef?

Hi Austin Love your vids, always super helpful|! Could you give me some advice or do a video on notating triplet rhythms? Notating triplets on their own is easy enough but notating triplet rests etc in the score is proving to be somewhat of a challenge for me... Thanks!
