But, for many of us, Drummer is just a bit too close to GarageBand, and just a bit too far from music making. The story ends there. Or does it? Logic still has a few hidden backdoors and workarounds. It’s one of the reasons I still find it interesting. In this tutorial I am going to show you how to hack Logic’s Drummer, spank it around some, and use it with any software instrument.
Add a Drummer track to a new Logic session. This is a perfect drum track! Perfectly and amazingly boring that is… Let’s take Kyle out back and rough him up a bit.

Remember, your third-party instrument selection will now be playing through the previous instruments Retro Synth Channel Strip plug-ins.
That’s why you are hearing a Stereo Delay effect. Sometimes this is a happy surprise. If so, enjoy it and have the courage to leave it alone. If not, adjust the new instruments Channel Strip plug-ins to taste and you are ready to go. More articles by this author.
