Logic X: Convert drummer to midi

Sounds strange.
Can you attach a screenshot of what your main page?

You need to learn to code Java....and know something about how drums are sampled and played to marry them.

I've done it. I did it out of principle, as an IT challenge...because easy, it was not. It took a solid week of reverse engineering, coding, and testing. I could've paid a great drummer to play on my next 5 years of writing for that time spent...

Pretty certain this is a built in function in logic but some reason it wasn't working.

Yes, it should work right of the bat.
You should be able to convert back and forth between Drummer regions and MIDI regions on the drummer track.

which immediately begs the question...

How successfully can it take GM midi, and convert to drummer, that wasn't created in drummer in the first place? (Even if you edit out everything but kick snare and hat if you have to)

no other way around I will create the drumming part using logic drummer and create a new instrument track in my session with sd3 instantiated and drag logic drummer part or convert it to mid to the instrument track to use the sd3 sounds.

Ever since I updated to High sierra I find logic is quite badly affected, lagging etc.

so here are a few screenshots: I had dragged the drummer track down to the sd3 track.

You have replaced the Drummer track with a Track stack if I read your screenshot correctly.

First you need to create a new Drummer track, since your original track is gone.
Then you can use different methods:

• You can insert the SD3 plug-in instead of Logic's Drum Kit Designer. 
• You can connect the DKD channel strip to a new channel strip with SD3 inserted via a cable in the MIDI environment.
• You can Option-Shift drag a Drummer region to a new channel strip with SD3 inserted. This will create an alias that follows the Drummer region "live".

So, what I found was that the CC4 thing doesn't related to the Drummer Track class's output MIDI stream. It's a setting in DKD that doesn't change the stream coming from the Drummer track output....and while I know--yes, there's a script to REMAP the hat control CC number, that assumes there's a CC stream to remap--it's function is to allow your eKit's CC output high hat to control the openess of the hat in DKD...and script the change of CC atthat level rather than.

Believe me. I LIVED this for weeks. I now have it working in BFD, SD2&3, and Addcitive2.

The three methods Eric mention, two will convert the hat to GM with a binary high hat--open&closed. One (environment rewiring) will play crazy wrong high hat articulations, because it's the raw stream with the ArtIDs in original form.

I'm going to say this once really clearly: the best bang for the buck here sonically speaking vs ease of implementation, is to use the Procuder Kits in DKD...mute the room mics....the set up your third party VI to solo ONLY the room mics--and then connect it via Alias. render all to audio at the same time and you have a large chunk of "better drum sound" than DKD...without worrying about the technical stuff.

Doing that will get a perfectly solid sound that I can easily walk you through. There are SO many tech booby traps in marrying specifically SD3 to the Logic Drummer--like I said, I did it out of challenge principle. Apple could've implemented easily from the get go--they don't WANT you to do this....I'm not sure WHY, since they don't sell DKD expansions or anything...but, they definitely do NOT want you doing it.

So tonight convert to midi is working fine in logic

you can see how I converted and then moved the midi down to an instrument track with SD3 instantiated

not hearing any anomalies tonight! except that Seattle based guitarist showed up again, but man, he sure can

play !
