Title: Drums...
Post by: Swallow on 2003-12-06 07:56 PM
Okay, I've just worked out how to use drums (yay!!). However:

What are the names of the different drums?? I know what they are in practice- but I can't differenciate by sound alone.

So from below the treble clef going up, each line and space (almost) is clearly a different sound... so where, for example, would I find Bass drum? Hit-hat? Cymbals?

Download the Drumref.nwc file from the Scriptorium here http://nwc-scriptorium.org/helpful.html

The drum sounds work if the staff is set to midi channel 10 and if the instrument selected for the staff is (wait for it) one of the grand pianos.  You can set these by moving to your drum staff, and pressing F.
