Tap the Note button (wherever it is on your device) and you'll see that the bottom left pad is lit up, which is the kick drum. On the Launchpad Pro, the Note button is highlighted with a red rectangle in the picture below. To the left of the kick drum there's a tiny white dot in a 4x4 grid (highlighted with a red rectangle in the picture below) which shows where the kick drum is located on the Launchpad: To the right of the Drum Rack is all of the things you can modify for the kick drum (highlighted with a red rectangle in the picture below). The 'M' button under the kick drum will Mute the kick drum when it's playing, and the 'Play' button (a triangle) will play the kick sound, and the 'S' button will mute all other instruments so that the kick will play Solo. Now you have 'Kick 70s 2' in the bottom left slot of the Drum Rack (highlighted with a red rectangle in the picture below). You can drag a drum sound onto any of the squares in the Drum Rack at the bottom of the screen, and for this tutorial we'll drag 'Kick 70s 2' onto the square labeled C1: I prefer 'Kick 70s 2' because it's one of the loudest. Click each kick drum to hear it (or use the up and down arrows on your computer keyboard), and pick the one you like. In the Browser area near the top left corner of the Ableton screen, click the arrow icon next to 'Drum Hits' (highlighted with a red rectangle in the picture below) to expand it in order to see all of the percussion options, then click the arrow icon next to 'Kick' (highlighted with a red rectangle) to expand it in order to see all of the kick drums. Now you have an empty Drum Rack (at the bottom of the screen, highlighted with a red rectangle in the picture below) for creating your own set of drums: The area which contains 'Drums' and 'Drum 'Rack' at the top left of the Ableton screen is called the Browser, because that's where you can browse for instruments and samples and so on: Click 'Drums' on the left (highlighted with a red rectangle in the picture below), then drag 'Drum Rack' onto the title bar of the first MIDI track. Now we'll add a Drum Rack to our first MIDI track so that we can create some drum beats. You can also right-click the title bar of a track and change the name of the track to help you stay organized: Some people prefer to make all of their drum and percussion tracks one color, and their melody tracks another color, and so on, to organize their workspace. My MIDI track in column 1 happens to be green, so right-click the title bar of the first MIDI track and change yours to green as well (highlighted with a red rectangle in the picture below) so it matches mine, to make the tutorial easier to follow. The colors of each track are random when you start a new Live set, but you can change the colors by right-clicking the title bar of each track. MIDI tracks are for playing instruments, and Audio tracks are for playing digitally-recorded sounds and samples (because MIDI clips store a different type of information than Audio clips do): These are called 'tracks' or 'channels,' and the gray rectangles below the track titles are where you can store clips that you can play using your Launchpad (which we'll do in a moment). When you run Ableton Live 10 Lite, or when you start a new session by clicking File/New Live Set, it starts you off with 4 columns which are labeled MIDI, MIDI, Audio, and Audio (highlighted with a red rectangle in the picture below).
