This tutorial, presented by our Ableton Live Certified Trainer "Vespers" takes you deep down into the "racks!" He shows you what they're all about, why you need to know how they work and how to use them to enhance and power-up your productions.

But that's not all: Vespers takes you way beneath Live's virtual surface to explore Drum Racks' advanced functionality. You'll learn about drag and drop programming, layering, hit based processing and humanization (which is odd for an alien to know) and much, much more!

I found this tutorial very useful. When I first got live, Drum Racks were a totally confusing Concept to me. Now, with a much better understanding of their, I can't wait to start building my own kits!

One of the best tutorials i have seen. Vespers is amazing - very professional, clear, detailed and explains every inch of drum racks. Lot of effort has been put into developing this depth of knowledge. A must buy for anyone wanting to get more out of drum racks
