I really struggle with drum rolls for House music (or fills) so can you create a tool for doing them or some downloadable midi files?

You highlight the two bars or so, you want the drum roll to fill and then you press the 'Drum Roll' button and it fills it with some dangerous cool sounding drumming!

You could have a few different variations to mix things up - I bet you clever bods could do that couldn't you?

This is what stops me from finishing songs as I can't make you want to lose your shit and go crazy when the beat drops back in as I'm naff at this kind of stuff!

This would help so many people create more music!

Clever bods lol!

Reason bods are the music gods in a production world lol!

By drum roll, you're not talking in straight 16th or 8th notes with the velocity increasing, you're talking drum fills, but EDM style drum fills?

You can either automate an arpeggiator or use Redrum (pattern to track) to accomplish drum fills/rolls.

I was actually thinking just a simple note echo that you copy and paste an automation clip to every section you want a roll. -shrug-

can't you use the note echo player device for that kind of stuff?

the OP talks about some kind of this

so some magic wand which creates a nice one by itself ...

That's brilliant man.

Those drums sound well realistic. Does anyone know where I can get any realistic studio drums like that as samples? I don't mean freesounds.org or anything like that as the quality is never that great in my opinion.

Also, can the fills be changed there on Drummer like how does it know what drum fill to use?

Very cool. Didn't know about dragging the regions... Nice! In general I like the drummers in Garageband (on the phone as well) and you can actually (on a Mac) import the MIDI into Reason...

Kind of wish the A-List Drummers would work like this!

These are multi samples drums so the individual samples wont help you much, but there are a few real drum options as refills in the shop such as Reason Drumkits, BFD Core, Alt Drums...etc... Then there are also a few drum VSTs/sample libraries such as Studio Drummer, EZ Drummer, and Addictive Drums

This site is the best one I found for reason.

Didn't miss it. Just gave examples. There are plenty more that what I listed.

2 tips.
1) use more note lanes, one or two per drum can sometimes be useful.
2) don't ignore velocity. Very few drummers can be on time and hit the drum at the same speed consistently.
