Drum advice

[bainmack]

Not exactly newbie but feel this question is.
I do singer songwriter stuff...all audio...guitars bass and vocals.

But forever drums have been a bummer for me....used drag and drop loops.....

I end up hunting drum pattern thatvI can fit my song to. Stifles creativity ...and fun.
Like I want the drums to follow me...not find something that fits and make it work....

I know jack about drums...so sorting through samples sets exausting

Having some fun with micing a cajon.....

Wondering about fingerdrums and something like the Yamaha dd 75....seen them for years. Even if learning curve it seems they could add some real feel maybe.

Any hel appreciated....

I bought EZdrummer from Toontrack a while ago, they have a more updated version now.

But those have been a game changer for me, with their pre-set grooves-- pretty easy to learn if you have the time.

My bass player has been pissing and moaning about not having a drummer. I Bought EZ Drummer 3 Tuesday night to shut him up.
I've been playing drums for 60 years, and I love EZ Drummer. In three hours I programmed a simple "Purdy Shuffle".
I only wish he could play anything with more than 4 strings

Man, I did think about it. He's a great guy, and a good friend. But he's the only bass player who warms up with 16th notes and never plays anything below the 7th fret.
But I love him.
