Hi
I find that when using the laptop keys to play notes when I add strings or brass instruments for example. On mine it's X and Z to change octave which can be a bit of a pain and another reason to get myself a MIDI keyboard! But I don't want to play and record individual drum sounds like bass or snare for example, but rather the drum patterns that are available. Sorry, I said "drum rack" when I meant "drum hits"
