How do i...

---

...add a new pattern?
Just add a new pattern in the OR(orderlist), to do that move to the order list, and write a number(the pattern number) below the current pattern number(the first --).

...do i copy and paste?
Press F7 when the cursor is in the track(a single channel in a single pattern is called track), then move the cursor to the target track and press F8. To copy a whole pattern at once move to the OR and choose the pattern you want to copy and press F7, then move to the pattern you want to paste it to(warning, replaces whole pattern, so usually you want to paste in a new blank pattern) and press F8.

...make drums?
The last two channels are drum channels, they don't work like usual channels. A "C" note in that channel is a kick, while a "D" note is a hihat/snare thingie(just noise really). The kick sounds different on different octaves, the noise thingie doesn't.
