Title says it all
Recording is disabled when I have a "drummer" track. Not when I have a regular midi/instrument track and chose same drumkit
How to get around this?
If I understand you correctly, you don't record on a Drummer track.
Right click/control click in the Drummer lane, then click "Create Drummer Region" or "Populate With Drummer Regions"

Hm ok. Well, when I start a project and think "I need drums!", I click on the nice drumset
But I can't make or record drums on that track? That doesn't make much sense/logic actually
So for the future when I need my own drums, I have to NOT click on the drums.. correct?
"Drummer" tracks are Logic generated and therefore different than Software Instrument tracks.

If you want to use an electronic drum set or pads or a Midi keyboard to play/trigger and record some of Logics drums,
create a Software Instrument track and add an instance of Drum Machine or Drum Kit Designer from the Library or add Drum kit Designer, an EXS24 drum kit
or an instance of Ultrabeat to the "Instrument" slot.
From there you can "play" the drums or pencil them in, in the Piano Roll or Step Editor. You can also program Ultrabeat patterns and drag them onto the Arrange.
There are just so many ways to get drums into a song. The level of control you have is up to you and your knowledge of Logic.
Take your time and work through the Manual and you'll knowledgeable in no time, well, pretty soon...
Ok. I just don't get why Drummer is pitched up front with big icon, when it cannot not be used for standard drumming making/editing. I'm hoping that most half-serious musicians make their own custom drums for the song and not use some random drummer
I mean, this is LOGIC, not GarageBand....
Drummer – Great for initial drum work / realistic grooves.
I then make a standard midi / software instrument track below the drummer track and drag down or copy / paste the drummer regions where they are visualised as straight midi.
So basically I use drummer to get an initial realistic feel, then edit as I would have in the standard matrix editor.
I can't chose "Drummer" for a new track, and make/record my own beats on that track?
