I just discovered this. Its just super to make a song come alive with different grooves at part markers. Its on page 117 of the 2012 User Guide.

Ed,
Not sure what manual u hv. I bought the 2012 User's Guide hard copy with 2012.5. Has 298 pages. Invaluable.
Any way I looked for it in the main Help menu. This is where it is. Not easy to find..I searched for the character string in My Computer and it couldn't find it!!
....anyways....
Step 1. Click on the main Help facility.
Step 2. In the Search field, type in "drum grooves".
Step 3. In the list that opens up look for "Version 2012 Tutorial". It has a Rank #46 against it..whatever that means, and is almost at the end of the list. NOT "Version 2012 New" which has a rank of #32.
Step 4. Click on it. Then in the help pages that open up scroll almost to the bottom and look for the subheading "EZ Selection of Drum Grooves". Just before the 'Woodshed Tempo Feature" description.
Follow the help instructions.
Good luck.
I can't help but laugh...I am just discovering this wonderful software and I am already giving people directions!!! I can almost feel people like Noel and Matt chuckling.

Excellent find and speaking of tips, I would repost this in the Tips and Tricks forum if it's not already there.
Even though I've been using the software for years I didn't know this or maybe I just forgot it, who knows. Most of us are part timers with busy lives doing other things so there's tons of things like this hiding all over the place.
Keep looking and find more cool stuff!

If you search "Help" you will find this:
EZ selection of "DrumGrooves" has been added, which are different grooves within drum styles. RealDrums styles with a caret (^) at the end of the name have several "DrumGrooves" available. Now there is an easy way to select the different grooves within the song. Simply right-click on a bar number, and you see a menu of the DrumGrooves within the style. So, for example, you could easily switch from the "side stick/hihat" groove, to "snare/hihat" to "snare/Ride."
This works with RealDrums styles that have variations available. These are RealDrums with names that end with a caret (^) like CountryPopEv16^. This style has 9 Grooves available...

Bob Hi Bob, First, thanks for mentioning this forum. I didn't know about it. Too fast with my forefinger on the mouse and going directly to the Windows forum  Yes, I agree that the re-posting the thread in the T & T forum is a good idea. But the "whole thread" should be moved there, not just my post. I don't know how to do that. Will send a message to a moderator to request the move?

Hi thailoneus, I'm very late in finding this thread. My apologies, I would have replied sooner if I'd seen it. I didn't chuckle, at all. I went straight to the manual and had a read. It's great when people share their tips and tricks. As I said to Mac in a post just moments ago, there is always something new for me to learn with BIAB/RB. I remember once reading about part-markers and drum grooves, but then I forgot about them. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never tried them. You've inspired me! If you hadn't made your post, I would have gone on ignoring them. Thank you for bringing these to my attention again All the best, Noel

Hi Sax80, Thanks for the info. My 2012 biab book only goes up to about 60. Where can I find this 117 page. Thanks Ed The manual is easiest accessed via the Start menu.  It's also possible to find this pdf in the \bb folder. If you install updates directly over pre-existing installations, manuals for all versions you've had will be there, too.  Regards, Noel

Your tip even works in the Mac version of BiaB 2013 (German). The complete instruction can be found on page 79 of the manual.
