Members scolfax Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 There's probably a better home for this post, but I'm a guitarist, so what the heck. I'm interested in trying some drum software that doesn't require a lot of programming - considering DrumCore or KitCore. Have any of you tried one of these? Any good? To be honest I'm having a hard time figuring out the differences between the two products. DrumCore has audio loops and the other one doesn't, so maybe that's the only thing.

Members mrbrown49 Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 I haven't used either but they look interesting. Do they both come with sample libraries? And do they sound comparable to each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mout Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 Never heard of those. For the few things I've done I used EzDrummer. But, there's also Superior Drummer, which is even better in terms of bigger customizations and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scolfax Posted March 21, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 I can't tell you how many times I've installed EZ drummer and couldn't figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mout Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 What software do you use? Cubase, ProTools... ? I was taught by a friend how to use it in Cubase, but I'm sure there's some tutorials teaching how to do it (seen a couple using Fruity Loops and Logic 9). It's not hard at all. Or, at least it isn't if your goal is to transform a MIDI Drum Track (like from Guitar Pro) into a regular drum track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GilmourD Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 Interesting. I'd like to see how this turns out for you as I'm looking to do some stuff in Reaper and really just need drums. Unfortunately I can't accord decent microphones to mic up my brother's drums right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mind Riot Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 I use Addictive Drums, and I think it's an amazing piece of software. Very easy to use and intuitive. Pretty much all of the current batch of drum software packages are very capable; it's just about what you like more. AD comes with a few thousand MIDI grooves that you can drag and drop into the host project. I don't use them, as I'm a drummer myself, but I did check out a few when I first got it and the whole interface they have for them is really easy to use. Pretty sure any drum software will come with a bunch of grooves, again it comes down to preference and ease of use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members undergod12 Posted March 21, 2011 Members Share Posted March 21, 2011 +1 on Addictive Drums. Sounds great, super easy to use when you're starting out but plenty of options 'under the hood' when you want to tinker with customizing kits. I found the MIDI grooves that come with AD far less cheezy and 'demo-ish' than the ones that came with EZDrummer and you can also easily import other MIDI files and use them within AD (some googling will net you hundreds of free MIDI grooves). I really like that you can map the Hi Hat pedal to a CC so that you can control how open it is via a mod wheel or (better yet) a control pedal.

Members GilmourD Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 Here's what I'm looking for... Really easy to use and free. While I may be a PC tech that can sit here and figure out SQL queries without a book, I'm a moron when it comes to drum software. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members akapuli Posted March 22, 2011 Members Share Posted March 22, 2011 Have any of you tried one of these? Any good? Very good. However I found a drummer who has electronic kit, so some of the features are obsolete now On the other hand I always had a hard time to make loops working for my recordings, both in BFD and in this one. IMHO everyone who uses these will be influenced in subliminal level by the preset loops, ie. music will be a bit predicted. For demo purposes they excell.
