Advance the kick drum to 1.3.3 and set the global tempo to 172. From here we can play with the tempo and feel of the beat by adjusting the global tempo and moving around the second kick drum. not very exciting but can be useful in some situations (country and punk rock).
With draw mode off double click to insert a note to trigger the kick drum on the 1.0, and the 1.3 now double click to insert a snare on the 1.2 and the 1.4 The note divisions are listed at the top of clip view.

At the top of the screen you will see a pencil icon, if it is yellow click it off, alternatively the hot key is ctrl+b for pc and cmd+b for mac. first we will talk about using the regular mouse pointer to enter midi notes. Their is two ways to enter notes with the mouse, one is draw mode (pencil tool) and the other is using the regular mouse pointer. This will enable us to place notes down on the grid quantized to 1/16th notes. Take a minute to look over all your options then select fixed grid 1/16. Now lets set the grid, right click (pc) cmd click (mac) in the midi note editor section to open your context menu for the midi note editor. Clicking and dragging up and down will move the note rule section up and down. In the note ruler section clicking and dragging left and right will zoom in and out. IE: kick, side stick, snare hit…You should notice that your mouse cursor turns into a hand holding a magnifying glass. Now take a look at the note ruler section of the clip, The note ruler is located on the left side of the clip and contains the names of the different pieces of the drum kit. In order to re-size the clip view move your mouse just above clip view, the mouse will turn into an up/down cursor, then click and drag the clip view to be as big as needed When inserting a midi clip, clip view should be automatically selected, you can also switch between clip view and device view by pressing shift+tab or you can also select either view on the bottom right of the screen. You will also notice the hot key command for the insert midi clip action which you could use, or just double click the cell to create a midi clip.
To do this right click (pc) or cmd click (mac) on the first cell in the midi track that you put the drum rack in. Next we need to create a 1 bar midi clip in an empty clip slot on the midi track. For now I will be using a kit from Ableton’s Session Drums. Pick any kit you like but don’t take to long because we can audition other kits later when we have the loop created. To load a drum rack Open the live browser, select the live devices, open the instrument folder, open the drum racks folder, open the kit folder, and select a drum kit. The first thing we need to do is open Ableton Live and load a drumrack into a midi track. To start off we will be making a basic 1 bar drum loop, and then quickly expand the basic drum loop to dynamic 32 bar drum pattern. This tutorial is a introduction to midi drum programing using Ableton Live and Drum Racks.
