I need the galloping drum pattern like Ringo uses in Get Back. What is it called in BIB?

In the RealDrums Picker use "train" in the filter.

The only Train drum track that sounds anything like Get Back is CountryTrain8, I don't think that rhythm pattern is Train, but will use it for now.
I am not trying to cover Get Back, but need that galloping rhythm, with a double snare hit before the 1 and 3 of each bar.

Try the five MIDI styles with a train beat.

That galloping drum style isn't a train beat. I'm not exactly sure what it's called, drummers I've worked with in the studio always just referred to it as a gallop.

I'm not aware of anything close in BIAB, but it would be a great one to request. I would use something like that on occasion myself.

What about:
_INSPIRE
_PUPLIFT
or perhaps:
_ACFNK16
?

Each of those styles has hundreds of drum tracks. Did you find something specific that you thought was in a gallop pattern?

Will,
I entered the song you mentioned: "Running up that Hill" in the StylePicker, and the Styles that were recommended were provided.

I listened to the Pre-made Demo samples from several, including _ACFNK16 which I felt potentially had a rhythm similar to what you described (at least my interpretation of 'galloping drum pattern').

But I don't understand what you mean by 'Each of those styles has hundreds of drum tracks'. Each style only has one drum track, or have I missed your point completely? Appreciate your clarification.

I do not understand how to use styles, I usually start with a default style like LA Hard Rock, and just pick my instruments. I need to study the styles and how to use them

OK
This was my workflow:
  • Open StylePicker
  • In top RH corner, under 'Type a a familiar song title', enter the song title: "Running up that Hill" and press the 'Enter' button
  • Using Quick Play, listen to the recommended style suggestions which are sorted 'best to worst'
  • Shortlist a selection that I hope are helpful
  • Respond to the original request with these suggestions



It would possibly be beneficial for you to study more about the functionality / deliverables of the StylePicker capabilities. Not all suggestions are perfect, but they do provide a starting point.

I hope this has assisted in some way.

Will, did any of my suggestions help? Did you manage to find a drum style that was suitable?
