creating drums using keyboard on computer

[paladinclub]

HI there,

I'm pretty new into home recording, and i just want to mess about with my guitar and record some of my stuff. However I need some drums aswell... since I'm really crap with all technology and all that, I need a software which enables me to use the keyboard on the computer to play drums( a bit like a musical keyboard, but with an PC keyboard ) Anyone know where I can download/buy this kind of software?

Thanks very much,

fruity loops is a good software for that purpose.

In any VST capable computer, use the free "SFZ" soundfont player from www.rgcaudio.com
Details there on how to use it.

Load up a free soundfont from www.hammersound.net (they have dedicated drum soundfonts or you can use a GeneralMidi soundfont with drums in it) and go at it...

N'keybDrum - Electronic drums for PC

You can try my software
http://ca.geocites.com/ninek_zg or page

in "play mode" it is a real thing because you can play with hands (keyboard) and foot (mouse - pedals).
Please let me know what you think about it
