I looked at the website. Looks like you can do whole songs with it. They have a free version you can download and use forever - give it a whirl.

yes drumcore will fit your needs. however, you should seriously look into the toontrack line as well. their programs (ezdrummer
& superior 2.0) are exceptional in quality and ease of use

what i dont understand is how to actually make songs with it, i get the interface up where i can test all the drums(samples) but how do i actually write it to make a drum beat

i would get ezdrummer, thats what i use and it is fantastic.

ck the manual that should have downloaded with the software. It will have everything already written out for you (probably some diagrams too) much better than anything we could re-write.

i have had that same problem with my guitars for years.

I would like to address the literal question. Can drumcore replace a drummer? Absolutely not. There are nuances to groove that a machine will never be able to replace. Plugins can still do a great job, and groove quantize can get close, but I would suggest finding someone to play on the recordings. They wouldn't have to join the band, just play on these recordings. Just a thought.

I'm married to my current drummer. I don't think she can be replaced by software.

I'm not so sure. You could get drumcore, then download one of those digital girlfriend apps for iPhone. Maybe it would do the trick? Yeah, probably not.

You can replace a drummer with any old drum machine analog or digital. A monkey will also work.....(assuming your not married to the drummer that is.....)

That's not very nice.

I've never been accused of being "nice".....Still aint happenin. Real drummers that actually read my posts know that I spend a LOT of time getting them right and I am one of those producers that understand that the drum sound can make or break the recording. I get GREAT drums and have for many many years.

Being a bass player, I understand drummers and their idiosyncrasies.....and I still think monkeys can do the job! LOLOL!!

+1 to EZDrummer. It is super easy to create very realistic drums with it. Even once you find a real drummer, you can use EZD to create better sounding drum recordings by using drum replacement techniques. I made a short video on YouTube on the subject a while back if you're interested:

I currently use Superior Drummer 2.0.... Many huge international bands use drum replacement software... If you even youtube it, or ezdrummer... The sounds coming out of it are sooo good!
