How to add offset to song

[somehuman_json]

I want to simply put some drums over a song. However, the drums are not properly snapped to the beats to the song. How can I add an offset so the drums and song are aligned?

Nje.. wait a mins. Here there is something you ned to understand first.
The song you have has a Tempo, that is often called the BPM -of the song! It is how often a down-beat happens in the song / minute
That The BPM of your song, That you must first make out!
There are tools for that: http://www.all8.com/tools/bpm.htm
(Many other great tools can be found in our tools collection https://lmms.io/wiki/index.php?title=Useful_resources)
After you know the BPM, you set LMMS to that BPM,

and then your hole percussion, including that drum you want, will be perfectly synchronized with your song (if you got the BPM right)

I already have the BPM of the song set, but the drums I add are off sync, and be defauly snap to the grid lines.

If it is a matter of one of the tracks is faster than the other you can click on the FX in the instrument , select "enable chain" and then add the effect DELAY. Then adjust the knob to slow it down.
