Best Drum Programming Software?

KirillGurtov...	Date: August 31, 2005 @ 12:40 AM What do some of you use? Which do you find is best for rock and jazz style drums? Any suggestions? Are there any sites that have pre-written loops in MIDI that you can just render?
imemine	Date: August 31, 2005 @ 12:45 AM I use Sonar -----write the parts on a staff and use a sampler for the sounds. Good sounds are hard-(for me) to find. There are LOTS of stuff available, look around. I hear Reason is good too.
hueseph	Date: August 31, 2005 @ 12:57 AM Consider Discreet Drums Loop Library. They have the most extensive library so far. If you want quality loops on the cheap check out betamonkeymusic.com I bought a beta monkey cd and it sound great. I haven't used it yet but as soon as I do, I'll post it.
GeneHilbert	Date: August 31, 2005 @ 1:37 AM I write my own... ultimately you will never fine exactly what your songs require by looking for loops that fit perfectly. You are going to have to base songs around loops that are kinda sorta what you need.. Very limiting.... or at best you are going to be doing a shit pot of editing to get them to fit exactly. I suggest writing your own - the more you do it, the better you get. Use your midi parts to trigger Battery or BFD, Storm Drum or whatever. Then enhance that with samples if you want.
psypig	Date: August 31, 2005 @ 5:10 AM I agree^^^ Programming your own drums is the only way to get them exactly how you want them. As for programs I personally prefer BFD.

I also like Redrum in Reason because you can rewire all the sounds to their own output if using a DAW like Cubase/Sonar etc and although it is not a great choice for rock drums with the default sounds and patterns, there are great refills to buy/download and/or import any sampled sounds. However, I also often use NNXT sampler in reason and set up a record pattern (x no of bars) with a bunch of samples too and midi sequence them and they also have independent outs when rewired. There are so many choices !
