To add percussion, go spend a $100 on a midi keyboard, crack open your free software plug-ins you recieved with your purchase of the digidesign product. Create a stereo track in your session and insert one of your plugins (reason adapted). Create a midi track and on the signal output select your reason device(redrum). record enable and Wah La !!! Shocked

Or go buy some drums, mics, an adat and some beer, you can never go wrong with more beer.

Cheers!!

Have you ever considered BFD? It is a great program with some great drum sounds, but it does eat a lot of cpu power. I dont know what your running it on but you can always make some tracks inactive and that sort of thing if you need a work around. Also be prepared to edit midi tracks for extended periods of time. Of course there is no substitute for live applications, but this does a good enough job and is an affordable option.
