Prior to starting, a drummer should make sure they have the time and proper parts to begin. The next steps are creating a selection group from the tracks, and then tabbing until you reach the first kick transient (this helps keep the tracks in time). Next, make a split over all of the clips. Once these three steps are done, you should tab back to the first high hat transient and split once again. This is done second because this drum pattern typically has the high hat occurring after the kick drum. Following this, then tab to the next snare transient; this is where you will slice it. Afterward, all that need be done is tab to the next high hat transient and then split across all of the transients. Repeat all of the steps following tabbing to the first transient kick all the way through splitting at the high hat transient until you reach a downbeat measure of 23.
