To edit a Drum Tab is pretty simple, first you select the Drum Lines you want DTAB to use ( From the EDIT / KIT menu) By default DTAB will create drum lines that represent a pretty standard 5 piece drum kit. You can customize the drum lines any time, but you can only edit lines that are visible. Also it's worth noting that if a drum line (a sound) is not being used in the editor, DTAB will remove these drum lines when exporting your song into a standard TAB file. So you need not worry about turning them off manually. It's all automatic.

Once you have the drum lines you require, next you'll need to select the edit cursors note subdivision, i.e. 1/4 notes, 1/8th (default), 1/16th or 1/32nd notes. Then choose a time signature (4/4 is default) and then your ready to start editing.. One of the beauty's of DTAB is that you can play back your tab while your working on it. This is ideal for those users who might want to use DTAB for song transcriptions and may not be able to notate accurately what they hear.
