- Drums are the foundation that all heavy metal, speed metal and extreme metal is built on, so getting natural sounding drums is very important. In this video from the Cubase Collective, Mendel Bij De Leij looks at programming drums, creating different types of classic metal beats and using the Logical Editor and macros in Cubase for humanizing drums. Metal drums production is a unique art, which this video will help you to perfect.
We hope you find this video entertaining and useful. If you like what you see, please leave a comment and tell us what you think. Thank you.

You are an absolute hero for uploading this tutorial! It's 1/2 to 1/4 the length of other videos and twice as informative. Thank you!
Literally bro like jesus thanks dude
Great video! Please more videos about Metal making in cubase. Guitar sound ect.
Thomas Zaglowek Coming up next week :)!
I am just in awe of those speed midi editing skills😱😱👹 can you make a video on making the macro’s and the way you add the beats so fast
Social Heretic Most of it is by hand and key commands, but if people are interested i can definitly look into the macro’s i have for general midi customization.
@@Mendelian I would love that!
@@Mendelian Would love that too! Alvast bedankt!
@@Mendelian Please do. That is one crucial aspect that is constantly overlooked (IMO) in instructional vidz! Briefly skimming through the top comments I've noticed 4 different ones addressing this topic so the interest is definitely there! PS. Keep up the good work man, much appreciated!
Plz
Love these drums! What is this drum kit called and where can I get it?
That would’ve taken me hours lol... saving this so I can start employing some of these time saving tricks!
Thank you very much. I learned so much in just 15 minutes.
Very gojira esque riff at the start, I like it
that last part was fxckin cool
Excellent video. Programming extreme metal drums to sound good is something that has eluded me. I'll be trying your methods out as they sound great.
Wow, I was looking for a Video like this for years! Thanks a lot man! 🤘🙏
You are just the perfect trainer. Thanks a lot for sharing.
This guy is great. Please, do more videos in this collab
Rock on ...cheers from Cali \m/\m/
The speed of that tremolo picking, my goodness 😱
Wow. Amazing Brutal Drums! Great Explanation. Thank you !
Cubase 10.5 much harder of my previous Daw cubase 5 so much to learn! Btw I am very excited For my purchase!
Moooore metaaal!!!) Very good videos to take some experience! Thnx
That’s mad dude can’t wait to get my copy of cubase 11 this week!
You are just amazing and so inspiring!
Thank you!
\m/ Fantastic Thank You Mendel
Really a great tutorial, thanks!
Very good videos and tips.
Those years in death metal band are obvious.
Seriously, I have to learn the key shortcuts.
Thx a lot for great videos ! Keep up the good work with this metal thing! Cheers👍
Does he ever say what sampler or drum bank he's using? It sounds great!
i would also like to know that
If you look at his drum track, I believe it says he’s using the Superior Drummer plug in. In terms of which specific Superior Drummer kit/tone, I’m not sure.
I love this video. Is there a video on the short cuts for programming the midi information? You seem to rip through it and i get frustrated putting in note by note. Thanks keep up the sick videos.
That's what I want to know too.
very cool, thank you !
Watched a whole ad. Sweet drums.
Great video!
Could you make a video about guitar editing? I mean how you prepare tracks before mixing.
Do you have a di track along with your other guitar tracks recorded? Because editing heavily distorted tracks is a pain in the ass without having a di track to reference! I always record a di track for this purpose(and of course possible reamping, or plugin reamping later), as when you look at the wav tracks of recorded heavily distorted guitars it's all compressed looking in wavform, making very hard to edit transients, etc. So you use the di track as the reference, and group the tracks via the di at the top usually. Then edit using the di as your visual cue point, so when you edit on the di, everything else is edited as well on your distorted tracks. It's way easier to edit this way, and everyone I've ever worked with does it this way as well! If you don't have a di track(the di being a clean non processed track, just clean guitar straight into di then interface/preamp, but no compression or anything else but a preamp, for those that don't know) well your fucked then and editing will be very difficult. Might wanna retrack it tbh! Also don't move everything to the grid!!!!!!!!! After you fix phase issues(I'm assuming you know how to do that?)only adjust things that are off by over 70ms or more. Everyone's got their own little number or range per say, and it's really hard to define it without actually looking at it so don't take my numbers as rule, it's not even close, just a generalization meaning, if it's not really noticeable, don't touch it! All of the best albums in the world, none of them where on the grid! So if it ain't broke don't fix it basically!
@Mendel bij de Leij For this work in Metal project is possible to use Groove Agent? What is your about this virtual instrument? Please, make a tutorial video showing your hacks to make fast editions.
Hi, great video thanks🤘😉
Great content!
arigatoo cuando trabaje en midi seguro aplicare esto
Whats the soundbank for those drums? Something that comes with cubase?
What was the VST instrument?
My question also
Love the video. It is helping me out alot you the man. By chance have a clip of the guitars you were using would help me demo amps with that di.
can you please give us your preset settings for superior drummer? It's a big pain in the ass mixing the drums or making them sound even half decent
Is this kit straight out of the box for cubase? I'm a drummer and have struggled to find anything realistic sounding but this sounds awesome.
Hello I have a question, you work the whole drum in one track, you later bounce them and mix them like a real drum? I mean you treat snare and kick separately
im new in recording and cubase, how do you go to that programming page? is that groove agent?
Thank you for the vids! Can you explain how you have each piece of the drum kit and pitch note displayed? I am running Cubase 10 and must be missing something obvious. thank you
you save my LP! how you writte the notes so fast? another question my drum map is diferent i need your drum map!
Yo Mendel, thanks for the video! How are you physically inputting the notes? I don't see Step Edit on your screen, and I can't tell if you have a MIDI controller off camera.
I believe he's using just his mouse, and the drum editor in cubase
This is awesome! One thing I am struggling with is how you are controlling the editor. I don't see a mouse cursor. Honestly I'm new to programing drums and don't know a whole lot about it. Bad ass video. Thank you : )
Hi Mendel, thanks for you tutorial. I'm beginner in Cubase 10.5, I can't find here "Logical Editor", can you please explain to me how to Randomise Notes. Thank you ;-)
3:40 tom haake 👀
how do you get that guide on the left to pop up that has all your info for your midi?
Hi Mendel, great vídeo as always. Do you know if its possible o make this randomize (humaniza) on Cubase Elements 10,5? I cannot find the MACROS on mine :/
What program are you using? Aside of cubase of course. Greetings from Holland in lockdown
Great video. Thank you.
Can I ask if the audio is a mic'd FRFR cab or USB. I cannot bring myself to even try USB as there will be no interaction between the guitar signal and the guitar. Thanks.
The "Recording Extreme Metal Guitars" video is marked as "Private" and therefore cannot be viewed.
Fixed now. Thanks.
What samples is he using? Superior Drummer?
He's using the drumkit from hell drum map. So I guess it's that specific one.
SD3 + Progressive Foundry
Where can I listen to the full track of the guitar recording video?
Why doesn't the info direct to Mendel's channel?
Why did you just right now privatize that guitar recording video?
Hi, yes sorry about it guys, we should've post this video first and the other one will come next week. Now you have something to look forward ;)
@@steinberg And uh... the track?
Hello Merlin, the track was written for the video but perhaps might do something with it for my solo project.
@@Mendelian Yes! Please!
I create the logical preset like Mendel does and save, but it doesn't show up in the list under "Process Logic Preset." Anyone have any idea why it's not showing? Great vid and tips, thanks.
cali316 Helli Cali, did you give it a certain own name?
@@Mendelian Hey Mendel thanks for the reply. Yeah I sure did. It's weird, I tried several times (even closing and reopening key commands) and eventually it showed up 🤷🏼♂️ I'm currently on Cubase 10.5.11.
So i just checked, hopes this helps:
In logical editor set the parameters and settings you desire, then very important: Save it in Logical Editor by pressing the + next to the preset window. After that it should show up in the key commands window under “Process Project Logical Editor”. You can also just search in the key command window by typing the name of your presets.
@@Mendelian Yup that works. Thanks again for the help, really appreciate it.
man you make some sick metal!!! but i agree strongly on more videos on time saving tricks instead of punching in every blood hit hahaha ABORTED RULES!!!!
hey there . cubase elements does not have the logical editor, what can we do?
Great video. Mendel is the man. Question though, how do change the drum layout so I can see what drums I have on the left instead of the piano keys?
I also need to find this out
@@kaspaking I figured it out. For me in cubase 10, when you select a drum bar, like one you just made or one that had drums. The panel pops up on the bottom and it shows you a small view of your drum keys. On the bottom of that there a tab it says piano keys o believe but there's a drop-down arrow, click that, select drum map, and boom. There ya go. But you have to do it every time you close that lower dialogue box.
@@buddhafex wasn't expecting a reply so thats awesome. I've got a lot to learn with drum tracking but this will hopefully go a long way to making shit easier xD cheers dude
how do you duplicate midi like that in cubase, and move all over the grid while creating midi notes?
1. create your midi track 2. click on Editor in the bottom zone, click the drop down next to it and select Drum Editor 3. select your midi notes, hit Ctrl+d to duplicate
How do you make only two guitars sound so full and powerful?
I usually have to record 2 or 3 on each side to have that massive sound
Rudal Next week we’ll dig into guitar recordings.
@@Mendelian I hope it will be easy enough for a drummer to understand ;)
The key is recording super tight takes and playing aggressively
Very nice!!!! I'd love to watch more videos like these.
May I ask which library did you use with the SD3?
MANOS Hello Manos, it was Progressive Foundry and the “Green” toms from Metal Machinery.
Wooooow sound very Swedish death metal
i know im stupid but im tired what is this software called lemeee geeeeeeeeet
Cubase
Can i pay you to make me drum tracks pleeeeeease
I'll take the job. I have superior drummer 3 and I can program anything you want. If you were serious, let me know.
I prefer the way Curtis Mayfield made music ..................
That's nice. I prefer having $200,000+ in studio equipment contained in my laptop and 2 or 3 pieces of hardware for under $5k, because we're not all that famous but amazing things can be accomplished with technology.
