Thanks Spantini!I've been using MT Power Drumkit until I can afford better. Stll not there yet due to higher than expected expenditures last quarter. HOWEVER !!
I had EZDrummer 2 at the top of my list for when the day comes, now that's been bumped to EZDrummer 3. I'm intrigued by it's newly added Bandmate feature which analyzes audio tracks (guitar, etc.) and writes a drum track that actually works and sounds decent (per the promo video, anyway). That alone would increase my creativity.
Ha! Just saw that I mentioned the R70 already. Ok then... point made.I am not an authority on this subject - but I think it's an established fact that you will get the best, most realistic sounding drum parts using software. I still have my Roland R70 - an absolutely fantastic and super fun drum machine - but it can't touch EZdrummer 3 in terms of.... well just about everything. It's both powerful and easy to use. I get alot of enjoyment creating drum parts with the Toontrack software. Even if it goes nowhere - it's just fun to play with.
