Need pro drum sounds - any advice?

fromtherooftops	Date: October 4, 2006 @ 1:17 AM I record with Cakewalk, and use soundfonts. all the mixing in the world can't seem to make these work that great. can anyone recommend an awesome program? or drum machine? or sound font that can work for indie rock and acoustic? Thanks!

But the included sounds and loops are incredible, not to mention it has the ability to break down each loop into fragments of sounds and includes a program to make your own mixes. I love it.
leedsquietman	Date: October 4, 2006 @ 2:04 PM Most of these programs are memory hogs, BFD, Storm, DFH and EZ Drummer are all memory hogs, some of these programs do not stream from hard disk, they load up into RAM. Btw - Saint's suggestion was for an Intakt samplert module, there are other sampler modules for Intakt, Halion, EXS24 etc samplers that are good too.
