Recommend me a drum program!!

I took the plunge and bought a Lexicon Alpha external soundcard complete with Cubase.

Could do with adding drums to a track I'm playing with, but don't know where to start.

Any advice? A live drummer is out of the question for the time being.

Try the [url="http://www.xlnaudio.com/index.php?page=downloads"]Addictive Drums demo[/url] - doesn't time out and easy enough to use ( only one kit to play with but it'll get drums onto your song for free)

I like the "Battery" vst plug in .

EZDrummer is pretty good, doesn't cubase come with some internal synthesizers though? I use sonar and the built in drums are actually pretty decent.

If you Google Free Drum synths...
Quite a few out there, sure you will find one for your needs.

Awww yeah ;o) Drumkit fro Hell!


I'm really looking froward to getting hold of EZD Superior 2! Ok... so it's one to pay for... but it is truly awesome!

I've used [url="http://www.waldorfmusic.de/en/products/attack"]Waldorf Attack[/url] before, which was great for electronic drums. It's quite cheap: you can get it with their excellent PPG Wave synth, plus a filter plugin, in the [url="http://www.waldorfmusic.de/en/products/waldorf-edition"]Waldorf Edition[/url]. £32.00 from Dolphin.

Or, what about the Steinberg Groove Agent (a.k.a. Virtual Drummer)? The [url="http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/may05/articles/steinbergergroove.htm"]review[/url] looks good.

Downloads with some very good acoustic sounds.
And piss easy to use.

If you are on a tight budget.
Ez Drummer sounds great.And also easy to use.
