Logic Pro's Drummer has weird habit of hitting crash cymbal a second time in same bar and it CANNOT be changed

This is a weird thing that Drummer does that has the obvious workaround of turning it into a regular midi-track and erasing the second crash, but I'm trying to understand why Logic forces the Drummer to do something as uncommon as this and make it un-editable (without a workaround)...

This happens EVERY time in the first bar with a crash on the ONE (1st beat). ALWAYS this crash is followed by another one a few beats later. Live drummers rarely do this, but Logic's Drummer leads us to believe it's common. Live drummers OFTEN crash on the ONE because it's the climax of a fill. But it's anticlimactic to hit the exact same crash AGAIN a few beats later.

In Logic, often, reducing the fills in Drummer will change it enough to do away with ancillary cymbal crashes and other "extras". But even reducing fills to ZERO doesn't remove this weird secondary crash.

WHY? APPLE? WHY?

Those actions don't have an affect either. Thanks tho.


I found out that the double-cymbal crash (on the downbeat and an additional beat soon-after) happens the second time the region plays on the same track. I think Apple considers it an automatic graduation of the groove.
