The 'Basic 4' presets from 'Standard Rock' in the 'Toolbox' folder worked in that effort also (as recommended by Ralph).

it was the swing and timing that i had that was messing me up. i had them set way too high. but once i dialed this in, i was pretty much where i wanted to be after following Ralph's suggestions.

also i am not a drummer so i learned what galloping is. that was new to me. pretty cool to know.

I don't know if that is actually a common term. I use it because it is descriptive in that it is based on the hoof pattern of a galloping horse, which most people would instantly recognize.

At leats in spanish the name is "galopa". I assume in other languages it is similar.

To TheSystem: actually this is a concept regarding rythmics, not only drumming. Think following:

Imagine four 16ths notes played in a row (I write a = for a 16th note and a | for an 8th note):

= = = = they together use the same amount of time of a 4th note.

Now, tie the two first 16ths:

| = = thas is a gallop (it sound like a galloping horse, like Ralph points out).

Now tie the two last 16ths:

= = | that is an inverted gallop.

Now tie the first three 16ths:

| . = I don't know the english name, but we call it "saltillo" (something like "little jump"). Note that there is a dotted 8th.

Now tie the last three 16ths:

= | . We call that "saltillo inverso", inverted saltillo.

Now tie the two center 16ths:

= | = That is the "síncopa".


Regards.

thanks Knopf

that makes sense to me.

= = | that is an inverted gallop. (a horse in reverse )
