Add a Drummer loop to your project

When you’ve found a Drummer Loop you like, drag it into an empty part of the Tracks area. Logic Pro automatically creates a new Drummer track with a region of the Drummer Loop. Logic Pro also automatically configures all of the settings in the Drummer Editor to reproduce the sound of the Drummer Loop.

Add additional Drummer Loops

Each Drummer Loop is played by a specific drummer. You can add Drummer Loops generated by different drummers into the same project, but there are some limitations:

  • You can only add Drummer Loops to an existing Drummer track if it's of the same type (Acoustic, Electronic or Percussionist). If you drag the Drummer Loop to a track that’s played by a different drummer, Logic Pro automatically creates a new Drummer track with the drummer assigned to that loop.

  • Adding Drummer Loops from multiple Drummers to the same track may cause the loop to sound different from the preview. The drum kit changes and the new drummer will interpret the settings in its own way.
