I am a guitar player, not a drummer. I don't own a drum set. However, the music I like to create usually needs custom drum tracks for accents and alternative rhythms.
There are tons of software drum machines around, however most are programmable using the beat grid. When I see that grid, all inspiration for recording is gone. Forget it. It always ends up sounding fake anyway.

Hi All,

I currently have EZdrummer. Its ok but the installation process was brutal. It works pretty good and I can get some decent sounds. Was wondering if there are anything else on the market now that is both easy to use and intuitive as well as has a plthora of beats.

Okay so I know its sacrilegious to many a engineer here, but I've become a believer in midi instruments... Sorry Logic Studio won me over with its Indie Kit. So I'm planning on expanding my library. I've been looking at the drum software out there and was wondering if anyone has some hands on knowledge of a few of them. My decision is between Ocean Way Platinum and Mixosaurus Kit.

Hi,

I just bought superior drummer 2.0 and love it! The only problem that I see is the high hats. They don't sounds realistic. Anyone have any ideas on how to make them sounds more realistic? I have Waves Renaissance for plugins. Should I just buy a high hat and record it?

I've never used any type of drum software before and was wondering how realistic is it, and is it easy to use? (I've never really used midi before either). I've read some reviews on ez drummer, drumcore, and bfd and am not yet sure what I'd be getting into. I just don't want to waste money on something I may not use. If it helps, the music I do ranges from mellow acoustic to hard rock.

I am new to recording, I am running Pro-Tools LE on my Mac Pro Quad. I am a songwriter mainly, I write with my guitar which I am limited on skills. I am looking for a good software program with pre-recorded drum beats, where I can pick and choose from for my original songs.

Which of the 2 do you prefer? And if none, which other is your favorite?

Does anyone know anything about BFD FXpanion Drum Suite? I think that is what it's called.

I wanna do a lot of solo stuff, so I'm looking for some realistic drum software. If you have any suggestions besides the BFD, then let me know!
